It’s your last Chance to CRUSH for a CAUSE… This morning at Men’s Prayer in Lake City, we asked God for great weather this weekend… not so we could work on our tan, but so we can raise money to save lives as Vision Nationals starts a medical ministry for the underprivileged. Despite a rainy midweek, [...]
Pastor Mark has just completed his ‘holiday’ in Australia, and he’s now ramping up for an intense speaking tour. Southern Cross, the largest Christian magazine in Australia, has published: A cover story on Pastor Mark. A feature on their website. A video interview. The magazine reports on Pastor Mark’s Australian adventure to date: He’s enjoyed the time with his [...]
by Matt Grant Water noodles, inflatable plastic limbo gear, bowls of Jell-O, pineapple colored sand…that’s right, you guessed it, Vacation Bible School. For some, VBS harkens memories of flannelgraph Bible stories in the dimly lit sanctuary of a 1970s era suburban church. The same rings nauseatingly true for me, so with Jesus’ direction, me and dozens [...]
For the past couple weeks, as I rolled out of bed each morning, it flickered like a dying flashlight in my mind. “You need Him, Joy. You should probably read your Bible.” But I didn’t. I didn’t really realize that I didn’t—but I didn’t just the same. So when I finally cracked a page on Saturday, I [...]

Inside the belly of the great fish Jonah cries out to God in a moving prayer of repentance. Jonah is confronted with his own sin as God crushes the idols of his heart. Salvation, satisfaction, significance [...]
Remember Tera Miller? Today she writes on her struggles in worshiping and fearing her family more than Jesus. Can you relate? Maybe you don’t have an “obvious idol” - like pornography or overeating or drunkenness. But what about the beautiful gift of family? Do you love them more than Jesus? God created us to worship. It’s [...]
Review of THE DARK KNIGHT by Diana M. Taibi starring Christian Bale and Heath Ledger directed by Christopher Nolan Rated PG-13 The Dark Knight is as an absolutely stunning movie, a true action-drama that transcends the comic book genre. The film is so densely packed with moral, emotional, and social dilemmas that the viewer is left ruminating for days [...]
Work Nights: Wednesdays, 6pm Remember? It was only six months ago that the building we now call the Mars Hill Church Downtown Campus was a gutted nightclub, cold and dim, it echoed of hammers and saws. Now, because of hundreds of volunteer hours we have a beautiful campus in which we worship Jesus, have concerts, and [...]
On August 10th 2007 I was on a beach in Western Washington with my notebook, a pen, my Bible, and some time in prayer when God led me to the vision for The City. Quietly working on it for eight months before we used it outside of a handful of groups, The City has now [...]
