this past sunday mars hill introduced a new band called "sons of thunder" they were amazing! the harmonies and lyrics were beautiful. i can't wait until their music is available in itunes! my favorite song was "author and perfector".
as i have mentioned in my other posts i am taking the gospel classes at mars hill. the first class was last wednesday. I was able to find my friend lindsey who is also taking the class, and we sat together. (i am glad she was there, i was a little bit nervous) the first class was all about scripture and the importance it holds in your personal relationship with Jesus. even though i have heard this before, it is nice to be reassured i am apart of a church that holds the word of God as the final and last authority.
pastor mark preached on this a couple of weeks ago, how one needs to be careful that just because it is in the christian book store, on the christian radio station ect. does not mean it is right and from God.
also i was talking with mike johnson the crux leader at mars hill and he said this might be the last live gospel class, from here on out they might be on dvd. which i find interesting because just this past sunday mark did a sermon on how our sociality is lonely and doesn't have community. we sit alone, we don't know our neighbors, and most humans are lonely craving a relationship with someone. therefore i am not sure i like the idea of the gospel classes being on dvd. it takes away even more human contact, and isolates people even more then they already are. making it easy for them to again not put themselves out there to meet people.

i'm so stoked to hear about you and more people also getting plugged in at mars hill!!!
awesome.
i don't think the gospel class being on dvd means it'll be available to take home and watch, i think it just means that it'll become portable so that more people can meet in a wider range of groups to go through it while enduring the message is unifying. technology growing GOD's kingdom and church.
brilliant!
