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 real faith dot 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.

All right, brand new book of the Bible, we're jumping into the New Testament Book of Jude.

If you're new, let me just start by explaining to you

what we believe about the Bible.

It is the word of God.

If you want to get a word from God,

you need to open the word of God.

It's the only perfect thing on Earth.

And the Bible is the most incredible book because it's the only book that when you open it it doesn't just allow you to read it it reads you.

In addition it's the only book that when you open it the author meets with you to help you learn what he inspired in those divine pages.

In addition, the Bible isn't a book that just tells us what used to happen, but it tells us what

always happens.

Because the Bible is not old, it's eternal,

so it's always timely.

Number three, my hope, prayer, and goal for you

is that you would learn to look not just at the word,

but through the word into the world.

We want to look at culture and entertainment
