Hello, this is Ashley Schates 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 realthafed.com where you'll find study guides to go along with

each sermon series as he preaches verse by verse 3 books of the Bible, daily devotions,

free e-books, and more.

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

Well, Pastor Mark here, last sermon of the year and we're in Nehemiah chapter 13 finishing

that great book of the Bible.

Truth is, I'm up in the mountains with the family getting a little bit of a post holiday recovery

and break hope you are getting some good downtime as well and had a great holiday season and

didn't feel like heading into the studio.

So the only quiet place with the family the size of mine is to go outside and guess this

is still Arizona.

You can get a mile plus high and the temperatures and the seasons really change.

It's quite beautiful.

And this might be a short sermon because it's cold outside, man.

It's as chilly as a Trump Biden double date, but we're going to power through where we

find ourselves is at the end of the year.

And I just want to say as well, thanks to everyone who prays for us partners with us.

And if you'd like to join us in helping us getting Bible teaching out to the world next

year, the best thing you can do is just go to realthafed.com and set up recurring giving.

Next week, Grayson, I will be starting a brand new sermon series, Ro Romance, Sex in
