Well howdy, Pastor Mark Driscoll here, thank you for letting me help you learn God's word.

And if you want to learn more, go to Mark Driscoll.org.

I've got a weekly newsletter answering your questions, daily devotions, blogs that are Bible teaching in their

orientation and a small mountain of sermons going through lots of books of the

Bible. So join me at Mark Friskel.org and will help you learn even more of God's

word.

I love you. This is a great church.

I wouldn't just come to Springfield, Missouri, maybe for Andes, but.

But every time I've been here,

I learned something from the staff and the leadership there's a warmth there's a

health so I want to publicly honor pastors John and Debbie wonderful dear godly

extraordinary people and you're blessed to have them.

As well as their family and as a dad who's got kids to see kids grow up to love Jesus, love mom and dad, love the church,

and serve Jesus with mom and dad in the church.

I can't think of anything more encouraging as a dad.

And so it's a great honor to be with you here today.

And yeah, pray for our church plant in

Scottsdale Arizona we launch on August 7th and so welcome to my family and the

church family at the Trinity Church I guess we're all doing church together today

and Pastor John has asked me to talk on the topic of marriage.

And so how many of you are married?

Okay, okay, okay, that's good.
