Mars Hill Church is doing something really cool and innovative as part of their Sunday sermons. During the sermon, people from the congregation are able to text their questions to the pastor, Mark Driscoll, so that at the end of the sermon, the pastor can receive the text messages and answer. His answers are on the spot, raw and spontaneous. This is a great way for the sermon to be interactive and to encourage people to actively listen and to think about what is being taught. Mark Driscoll does a great job answering the questions as well. Check out a few of these Q&A sessions :
Ask Anything Live - Dating
Ask Anything Live - Faith & Works
Ask Anything Live - Sexual Sin
Ask Anything Live - Grace
Ask Anything Live - Humor

Flash Player
We've received some comments regarding how we handle external media such as mp3 files or youtube links. So, we've put together a flash player module that allows people to hear the media while on our page instead of having to go to another site.
It's not pretty, but we are working on it.

Reface
We decided to change some things around. Noticing the trend of asking people to type out their thoughts seem to be time consuming and too personal for many people to do that. As of the new year, we've switched it around and allow people to able to submit news articles, sermon messages and worship songs.
People are still encouraged to share and discuss. On top of that, the site focuses on prayers, especially prayers for what's happening in the world through news! When we hear news of what's happening in the world, least we can do as Christians is to pray for our neighbours, yea?

Everyone Votes! Do you have a contract with God?
A new question has been posted : Do you have a contract with God?
Is there a contract - whether spoken or written out - that you've made with God? We've been challenged recently by some of our mentors to write out a contract with God outlining the terms and conditions of our faith. The contract is unique for everyone so we're curious as to how many Christ-followers have these contracts drafted up and if you are willing to share with us, what the contents of that contract include.
For us, it means surrendering completely to His will and giving up our personal dreams and desires for our lives if it is not within God's plan and purpose for our lives. To be living sacrifices in the way we surrender ourselves to God's will. To acknowledge that pain and suffering will be part of the journey and to expect God to speak to us in ways we can hear - if only we will sit and listen to His still small voice. We want to follow after Christ knowing that He will be waiting for us with open arms.
Now, what is in your contract??
