Pastor Mark Driscoll here, welcoming you to the podcast. I've been teaching the Bible for more than 30 years,

and real faith is an extraordinary ministry with a great team. It's not a big team, but they're making a big difference at a big impact. And we'd love you to preferably consider partnering with us, especially with a one-time or ongoing recurring gift.

All the proceeds will help us get Bible teaching out, and our hope, prayer, and goal is next

year to get to total reach, impressions included, of a billion plus people hearing about Jesus

Christ through Bible teaching. Your prayers, your partnership would

help us to do more and more and more. And so in advance, thank you for your partnership.

Well, howdy, Pastor Mark Triscoll here? We've got a special year-end talk for you, kind of a sermon-ish, but a little bit

different. And the question I want to answer is this, what are God's 10 prophetic points for the church in

2025? As we're concluding 2024 and we're leaning into the forthcoming and upcoming year,

the question is, what is God trying to teach us, tell us, show us, lead us, guide us,

reveal to us, and maybe even rebuke us for and call us too as Christians and as the church

of Jesus Christ?

And so I've not gotten in a lot of trouble this year. There's only a few days left.

And so I thought I would maximize the time and hit a little bit of controversy right in the mouth

and let you know that I believe that we have an opportunity as God's people to pay attention

to what is happening in the culture so that we can be best

prepared for what God intends for his people, the church in 2025. Let me start with one scripture.

In the book of Revelation, there are seven churches in the first few chapters of Revelation,

and Jesus Christ shows up and he gives a word to each of the same. are seven churches in the first few chapters of Revelation,

He has a different word for each church.
