Hello, this is Ashley Chase welcoming you to the Mark Driscoll Podcast.

For more content from my dad, Pastor Mark, senior pastor here at the Trinity Church in

Scottsdale, Arizona, visit realfafed.com where you'll find study guides to go along with

each sermon series as he preaches verse by verse through books of the Bible, daily

devotions, free e-books, and more.

Now grab your Bibles and get ready for today's sermon.

Alright, let me pray before we jump into this one.

It's going to be a little different.

Father God, pray against the enemy of servants, their works and effects.

I want to pray for the right tone to my message.

I pray for years to year.

I pray for digital favor to the nations because tonight God we decide who lives and who dies.

And so in Jesus' name we consecrate this time and this place to our great God and Savior

who came into human history through the womb of his mother Mary who was poor, who was

rural, who was unmarried, who was young, and was a candidate to terminate.

But instead she gave birth to the one who would be the Savior of the world.

And so Jesus, we want to come and honor you and I pray that you would allow me to teach

well and that you would send the Holy Spirit so that what I say would be an echo of the

Father's heart in Jesus' good name.

Amen.

So it's an honor to see you, man.

Thank you for joining us and thank you for joining us online.
