There is an important but rarely-highlighted aspect of what we do at Mars Hill Church; worship music. Most people are familiar with Mark Driscoll’s heavy, engaging, and theological preaching but what they don’t usually get to see from outside our walls is how the preaching is complemented with worship music that reflects those same aspects. Since working here, I’ve loved observing how the bands write songs and arrange sets for Sundays that are theologically unified, stylistically diverse, musically excellent, and God-centered.

The video above is “Jesus Paid It All” from our Good Friday service.

It’s all about Jesus.

44 Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, 47 and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

Dr. Bruce Ware is the Professor of Christian Theology at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. I recently got to sit down with him for The Resurgence and talk to him about the missional christology class he just taught to our ReTrain students at Mars Hill.

I really liked what he had to say about submission in the Trinity and how that had practical implications.
