During this Christmas season, our fleet of campus pastors and elders were in the pulpits at our nine campuses for five weeks while Pastor Mark took some time off. God has blessed all of them with unique preaching gifts, and it was a blessing to learn from each of them during December.
All of the campuses taught on the Christmas story as prophesied in Isaiah 9:1-7, each week focusing on a separate aspect of the coming Jesus Christ. Here is a sampling of just some of those sermons.
God sent His Son as a baby, who would be our "Everlasting Father", literally meaning, He would care for His own as a perfect father forever. The great news of Christmas is that Jesus Christ is aching to adopt you into the family of God. He wants you to understand that being in the family means you are secure, you're loved and it's guaranteed forever. (Listen to the full sermon here.)

Today, Pastor Mark is back in the pulpit as we pick up our Luke series.
*The vigilant among you will notice that the precise phrase "King of kings," while it appears in six places in the Bible, is not explicitly stated in Isaiah 9:1-7, however, Isaiah 9:6 does say "and the government will be upon his shoulders," which is the verse our the above Week 1 sermons are based on.
Jesus was a man who claimed to be God. Think on that for a minute. If that were true, how would it change the way you thought, felt, and lived this life?
At Mars Hill, we believe that Jesus is God. We take him at his word. Because of this, everything we do is all about Jesus. We invite you to learn more about this man who is God and how you can find forgiveness and new life in him.
Visiting a church for the first time can be nerve-racking. But having an idea of what to expect can help. There are three main parts to every Sunday service: preaching, worship, and kids. To learn more about each of these, click the links below.
Church is more than a service. It’s people living life together and helping one another throughout our cities to serve our cities. Each week, thousands of people at Mars Hill meet in hundreds of small communities to learn about God, pray, eat, laugh, and live. We call these Community Groups—and they’re the heart of our church.
We provide a number of resources to help you grow as a disciple of Jesus. You’ll find videos on a number of topics and from various conferences. The Mars Hill Blog connects you to life around the church and personal growth. And Resurgence is a blog dedicated to helping you grow as a leader at home, work, and church.
Jesus is the most generous person who ever lived. He gave his life so that we might live. As Christians, we give our time, talent, and money joyfully in response to Jesus’ generosity and to help more people meet Jesus.
