Some of my favorite Driscoll sermons
What did Jesus Accomplish on the cross? Vintage Jesus, week 3 The last 5 or 6 minutes blew me away, and has changed my life. "You do not yet fully believe in the cross"
The Gospel We Preach 11 aspects of the atonement. Preached to an audience of Pastors at Destiny Church in Edinburgh, Scotland
Why did Jesus come to Earth Vintage Jesus wk 10 I really like the well rounded picture of Jesus as our Prophet, Priest and King.
The Sword and The Trowel Nehemiah Series wk 6. Defending and protecting what God has called you to build.
Grace 15 aspects of Grace.
Predestination One of the better explorations and explanations of the whole Calvinist/Armenian debate I have seen.
Recent Spiritual Walk
I have been pretty deep into God's word lately. It has been an obsession of sorts.
Sunday I go to church. Most of the time, I work with the kids, so I miss the sermon.
Sunday evening I go to the Sunday Night Teaching class at church.
Monday I do Bible Study Fellowship. I would still classify this as the most important study I do, as it systematically encourages me to study the bible every day.
Tuesday we have a "Man Meeting" at church. Usually we just delve into a chapter of the bible and share with the other guys what we get out of it.
Wednesday Andee has a Bible study/ prayer group that she goes to. I usually watch or listen to a sermon online.. My current favorites are Francis Chan, Mark Driscoll, and Matt Chandler.
Right now, the most interesting thing to me is Matt 25:41-46, where Jesus separates the sheep from the goats. It strikes me that what makes somebody a goat isn't so much the sins that they have committed as much as the kindnesses that they have omitted. It seems like we focus a lot on the "Do nots" while often turning a blind eye to the "dos". Kinda backwards from the way Jesus articulates it.
I also find it fascinating that all of our deeds flow through the cross. Sometimes I am one of "the least of these" and I am to forgive my neighbor's transgression, as it belongs to God, not to me. See Matt 18:23-35. Other times I sin, and my sin is what put Jesus on the cross in the first place. No matter what I choose to do, I am either with him, or against him.
I think that I am at my limit on Bible Studies, and I may even need to cut back. It is really cool how all of these studies flow together and complement one another however. If I was retired, I would probably dose up on Bible studies for sure.

Comments
I have been hearing some complaints about my comments not working.
I think I have fixed it.. At least kinda. I turned on the openID comments, turned off the typekey comments and turned on the internal authentication. It is still clunky and slow.
Give her a test for me if you have the time.
