Driscoll: Church, Gospel & Culture

From Kevin Cawley, the audio from the first Acts29 Boot Camp has been resurrected.

I consistently get emails in response to my Missional Ecclesiology readers guide asking if I'm aware of any sermons/conference lectures that treat these issues in a systematic fashion. Beyond the excellent A29 Boot Camp sessions (2005) and the (forthcoming) A29 2006 Boot Camp sessions, the only real source I'm aware of is, to my knowledge, no longer accessible on the internet. It is an old (the first?) church planting boot camp at Mars Hill. I got another email today asking the same question, and so I decided to upload these sessions in hope that others will benefit from them as I have.

The sessions below are some of the best comprehensive teaching I have heard on the theological foundation of the church and a practical implementation of a missional ecclesiology. I downloaded these sometime in late 2000 or early 2001...

Hi, Steve

I only stop by occasionally to get caught up, so I'm a bit behind here.

In your review of Driscoll's "Confessions..." you do give some details as to the contents of the book. Several of the stories you posted, for example Mark's encounter with the posessed guy, Mark discusses in his sermons. My sister and her husband are members at Mars Hill and I've d/l-ed and listened to nearly all of Mark's sermons available on the website. Based upon your review, it seems he's taken a lot of what he talks about from the pulpit and put it into the book. Is this correct?

I enjoyed "Radical Reformission" and am looking forward to reading "Confessions..." Thanks for your insights.

Carol, no question there will be a lot in the book from sermons. Or maybe it's that a lot of the book is coming out in the sermons. I've heard a lot of the stories before too. But I still found it well worth the read.
