Welcome to the Mark Driscoll podcast to find more Bible teaching from

Pastor Mark visit real faith.com. Thanks for listening and being a part of

real faith and remember it's all about Jesus. Well how howdy, let me just start by saying,

I really love you, and it's such an honor to see you,

and it is such a great section of God's word that we have for us today. If you're new, we're in a book of the

Bible called Romans, one of the most amazing significant books ever written in the

history of the world and we find ourselves in chapter 12 we're taking about a year just

going through this book of the Bible we're going to continue all summer I'll be in

this book finishing it up in June and July preaching pretty much all the services

live we're just going to keep going forward but the big July preaching pretty much all the services live.

We're just gonna keep going forward,

but the big idea in Romans is chapter 1 through 11

is about our relationship with God

and how God loves us and brings us

into a relationship with him through Jesus Christ.

And then chapters 12 through 16, where we find ourselves,

is largely about our relationship with one another

and how God's love flows through us to others to be God's

church family. And so this sermon is going to be a little bit different. I'm going

to sit down, this is going to be what we would call it the Driscoll house, a family meeting.

So we've got five kids, Grace and I do, and oftentimes we would call a family meeting.

The kids would call upstairs, family meeting, everybody would come downstairs, and that meant we were all going to talk. meeting.
