My (step) son was 8 when he came into my life. I made it a priority to spend time with him… when he was younger it was games either physical, board or video… as a teenager it was camp fires & fishing. Thank God for that time!
Since I found pastor mark on you- tube my life has taken on a new meaning. I am a woman whose life has been turned every way but the right way. I've raised 5 kids, 2 girls,3 boys. I am proud of how they turned out and over coming so many obstacle in their life's. Father figured is something 4 of them didn't have. Which happens to be the 3 boys and the oldest girl. They are grown and have kids and grandkids of their own. I'm not as old as it may sound from this message. I was very young when my first born came along. My world has taken on a new meaning living for team Jesus!!! It's full speed ahead, no turning back!! Thank you thank you for getting the messages out. I'm not a monthly supporter yet but I have have donated. I'll be praying for pastor mark and his family along with the church family. If I lived in Scottsdale I would have a hard time containing myself.❤
Pastor mark. I don’t know how to express how much you’ve changed my life. You have given me clarity on being a leader for my family Thank you so many times over and over
As a Christian man I read a book called Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus by John Gray. It literally saved my sanity. He is saying similar things to the book. I highly recommend reading it if you want to understand what you don’t know about the woman in your life. Top five book I’ve ever read. Bible is first.
Another great book I'd like to add if you haven't read it, 'love & respect'. I just finished it and it seriously saved my marriage. Imo it's required reading for everyone who is or is planning on being in a serious relationship focused on God
One of the few places anywhere that celebrates men, full unapologetic bible teaching, and tells things how they are! Booom way to go my favourite pastor 🙌 🙏 REAL MEN
There's a massive crater of hurt and abandonment here in Seattle where Mark fled the scene, rather than face accountability. He's corrupt, he's a raging narcissist, he's troubled.
I wish my ex-husband could have listened to you. I raised our 5 sons while he was at the bar every night. Breaks my heart that our sons did not have guidance of a good man.
Greatly appreciate Mark’s insights & observations on men. I’m not an emotional guy. Never have been. I do my best to keep my emotions in check, even keel. I’ve won motorcycle races, had birdies & a few eagles on the golf course. I don’t celebrate by dancing around & chest bumping. Very difficult for me to empathize with kids or wife that function with a lot of emotional drama. I’m praying that the Lord help me to be more understanding & sensitive.
I... grew up and in truth lived my whole life tormented and tortued at best. Haunted it seems. I remember several dreams I had when I was about 5... 40 years ago lol... my dad, was a tormented man as well, but he wasn't ever able to face tge truth of his sun's, faults, and mistakes, at least to any if us before he died. He led hell and demons into our home and family. I often grow angry at God at what I know my beloved mother endured in her childhood and life before my dad as well as what she, my siblings, and I endured from him...I realize how much he destroyed and took from so many... The only true leading I've ever experienced has been from God.
The majority of believers that I come across, if I actually got what I needed from them, then it would have just made everything worse. Because what I needed, they would always take it as the worse case scenario, because I needed ministry instead of being rejected all the time.
I’d like to ask for prayers about the sacred opportunities in my life with my son that seem to be at times violently opposed. Currently I can observe these sacred moments so I recognize what your are talking about but all too often these sacred moments get minimized and dismissed by those around me. I’m surrounded by men everyday who don’t value these things and don’t understand my kingdom priorities, they are convinced evidence of proper priorities is work 1st. Several family members want to minimize or dismiss those important father/son moments as well by off the cuff “ow, you’re making this more than it needs to be, you have plenty of opportunities in the future to bond” or they actually will crowd me out as a father and try to make a moment not a father and son thing but insert themselves into a sacred moment they weren’t invited into. I’d just ask for prayers, for wisdom and discernment, boldness and courage. Thanks
I would suggest going to a private place and praying to Our Father in Heaven and asking that He would be glorified and be blessed in your life and your son’s life. Ask in secret, everyday. Go to the Father in the name of His son. Continue to pray for your son, and that the Spirit of wisdom and understanding will dwell within you brother. Proverbs 7 & 8. Psalm 91. Pray the Aaronic blessing over him. Our Father desires your son’s salvation more than you could ever imagine. The greatest way to battle is to surrender to the father and to be at his feet in prayer. There are plenty of believers here that hear your plea and we will be praying as well. God bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you, be gracious to you lift His countenance upon you and give You His Perfect Peace.
Isaiah 66:1-5 Thus says the Lord: "Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool; what is the house you would build for me, and what is the place of my rest? All these things my hand has made, and so all these things are mine, says the Lord. But this is the man to whom I will look, he that is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word. "He who slaughters an ox is like him who kills a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, like he who breaks a dog's neck; he who presents a cereal offering, like him who offers swines blood; he who makes a memorial offering of frankincense, like him who blesses an idol. These have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations; I also will choose affliction for them, and bring their fears upon them, because, when I called, no one answered, when I spoke they did not listen; but they did what was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I did not delight." Hear the word of the Lord, you who tremble at his word: " Your brethren who hate you and cast you out for my name's sake have said, 'Let the Lord be glorified, that we may see your joy'; but it is they who will be put to shame. That should make clear what God expects of a true godly man, if you turn the deaf ear, then you are going to hear from God in a different way and it will not be in his steadfast love and merciful goodness. Maybe it would be a good idea to stop putting me, myself, and I on the throne of God and heaven where it's not my will but thy will be done.
@@sandhills2344 Sorry for wanting to get right to the uplifting and inspiring message on the Word of God. :/ I must be a terrible hater but you totally busted me. It's ironic that you're being critical of me being critical. That's like critical squared brother. Take the log out of your own eye. But if you demand to know why I can't just skip ahead, it's because I am working with my hands and have this on in the background. I enjoy the sermons and yes I know it's possible to skip ahead. But when I have his sermons on autoplay, I get blasted with 10 minutes of looping generic yacht-rock in between hearing the Word.
Stop throwing up the "Eye of Horus/ Okie Dokie" signs and we might not believe you're a Schill angel of light propped back up by this evil world. Signs that you pick even in your frozen thumbnail at the beginning like the okie dokie sign which they all use and so do you. Makes real Christians question you as that angel of light brother. UGHHHHH so sick of these national pastors all over RUclips. I would like to believe you're real and I can support you so let's see if you even personally defend something like this in the comment. I hope so and I still listen to a lot of good you have to say, but I have to guard my heart as soooooooo many people are fake with agenda's
With respect, who are we to condemn someone? It's not what we put in our mouth it's what comes out, so please respect this mans wisdom and teachings. 🙏. God bless
@@christinestewart9734 I am taught by my pastor that it’s not ok to drink alcohol, I do like his teachings so i want to know where in the Bible does it say that it’s ok for him to consume alcohol
Jesus’ first miracle was turning water into wine. The Bible doesn’t say drinking alcohol is a sin, but it does say drunkenness is a sin. Moderation is the key. If you can’t drink in moderation when you drink, if drinking it causes you to stumble, then don’t do it.
Pastor Mark as your Brother in Christ I enjoy watching and listening to your videos and gleaning from your wisdom. But with all due respect I was disappointed to hear about a margarita, wine and saying to Jesus give me a minute I’m good. I think the last one was supposed to be a moment of levity, but it was not funny. Just some things to consider. Grace and peace to you.
I got it Karen, I tried my best to be respectful with my comments. I figure unsaved people watch these videos too so I personally wouldn’t condone catching a buzz or being disrespectful to Jesus. But I guess I’m just old fashioned that way.

This is another one of Mark's messages that I will listen to again. it was excellent. Thank you, Mark.

Pastor Driscoll is a future Catholic.
Huh?
God is god. Jesus is jesus
The bible is the bible.
Who cares if his Catholic. Now or yesterday.
God is god ✝️
Hope not. If you knew history you'd reject Catholicism outright.

You don't have to worry about wine, Jesus turned water into wine, God will never bless you in sin. The problem with wine is when we abuse it.
@@lizyx211 God will not bless your sin, If consuming alcohol is sin making it will also be sin.
