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. If you've got a Bible, go to Revelation chapter 4 and we're going to talk about

worship. We're a brand new church and I want to explain to you how we see

worship and who we worship and why we worship and when we worship and how we

worship. And I'll start with a story. I was the first man in my family to ever go to college.

And so I ended up going to a state university

and I was exposed to, if you've been to college,

you've had this experience,

all these different ideas that I had never

really considered before different philosophies different religions different

opinions about the big issues of life where we come from why we're here where we're

going and all of a sudden I was not a Christian but I was considering all of these

ideas in sociology and history and philosophy and I'll never forget I walked up to one of my sociology

professors and I said okay you've just kind of presented

different views of reality from different groups of people I said what is your

view I said do you think that there's a god not a god a heaven of hell like what where are you at and he said all I believe in is the material he tapped the desk the physical he said I believe that's all we have and all we are.

He said, I don't believe we have us invisible immaterial soul.

I don't believe there's some spiritual God.
