Death by Love: Reflections on the Cross

Mark Driscoll

Audio from Session 11 is our last session from the Reform & Resurge Conference May 2006. Listen to Mark Driscoll, pastor of Mars Hill Church, president of Acts 29 Network and founder of Resurgence, as he preaches on, "Death by Love: Reflections on the Cross." Revisiting who Jesus and the cross is, deserves more attention today than most people would like to think. Over time Christians arguably could begin losing sight of the cross, what it meant and what it means for us today. Mark Driscoll brings us back to the fundamental aspects of the cross and the practical implications of a proper view of the cross in this day. Some church movements today focus on the incarnation, leaving out the cross and the exaltation of Jesus Christ and therefore undermine the deity of Jesus Christ and the gospel. The correct view of the cross gives way to the correct view of the atonement and ultimately giving us the clear picture of the gospel that we are to preach today. Driscoll looks at penal substitution, propitiation and expiation. By gaining the fuller picture of the cross we may be faithful in building God's Kingdom with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Respectfully...my feedback

Hi Mark.

Love the passion. One question for you. Is there a need to use the "big words"? All the "isms" and "tions". I understand that some people need this. But I see you at your best when you share from the bible. The theology from a uni perspective is dry to me.

Man has placed this on us. I can't stand academic perspectives. "Isms" and "tions" have a very negative impact on me. Instead I love it when you are real - unacademic and bible focussed instead of theology focussed.

One thing I love about this message is the perspective of Jesus - I hate the "tooth fairy" perspective many christians place on Christ. A lovey dovey, weak Jesus with no relevance to a dying world. I can't stand that view.

When He comes back, I think people will be bowled over to how different He is to the "tooth fairy" view they have of Christ.

Anyway, my thoughts on your wonderfull message. Thanks heaps.
