This is just amazing.....I truly hope and trust Mars Hill was blessed and pressed to think through issues in a better way.

Rev. Robert Sirico delivered a sermon titled "Whistling Past the Graveyard" at Mars Hill mega-church in Grand Rapids, Mich on September 20. You can listen to his sermon in its entirety by clicking on the sermon title above. Mars Hill was founded by Rob Bell in 1999.

Rev. Sirico addressed Christology, mortality, atonement theology, and the problem of evil. In his remarks Rev. Sirico declared:

And the vision of that hill, there on Golgotha's bloody mount, is the answer to the riddle of human existence. There in the crucified Christ, we see one who not only suffers for us...but he suffers with us. He enters our grief, our solitude, our pain. And because the one who is suffering so is innocent, he has the capacity to subsume into himself, into his divine person, all of humanity's suffering, all the history of limitation and death.
