This is the guy he's got anger, violence, short temper, rude, crude, mean. He's harsh, he's overbearing, he's intimidating, he's scary, he is scary.
Are you this guy? Is your wife scared of you? What kind of man intimidates a woman?
And these guys are the worst when they show up to church. They want to be in authority, not under authority. These are the guys who show up and immediately say, "I want to lead, put me in charge of something." You're in charge of shutting up, that can be your specialty.
These are the guys when you rebuke them, they just leave the church and they take their wife and children with them and their wife and children suffer ... You can see it in their wife's face. She's miserable. You can see it in their children; they despise their father, and he's oblivious because he's an imbecile. ...
That's how chauvinism works itself out. And you, men, when you read the Bible and you read words like "head of the household," if you think it means something like this, you're an idiot. You're abusive, you're dangerous, and you're a fool.
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.
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.
