That quoted from Driscoll in a 2004 sermon about liberal denominations and the God Box in Manhatten, there was a link that was to Gospel Coalition sermon resources for those who might want to hear the Driscoll sermon for themselves and not just read quotations from the transcript.
In a way this is simply continuing a blogging journalistic project that has been in place since 2012, starting about here (Sunday May 11, 2014 blog post)

Now seeing as Mars Hill Church has been purging its media library of sermons from before 2008 and has introduced robots.txt to its various websites to preclude web crawls from The WayBack Machine perhaps the buddies of Mars Hill in the past, The Gospel Coalition, maybe be of some help. They happen to have the audio for the sermon available for download. Download it while you can, though.

Wenatchee The Hatchet had a hunch that it would be a matter of days after quoting the material and linking to the sermon contents before the content was somehow removed.
... and ... for now ... it's looking like The Gospel Coalition isn't having Driscoll sermons in the audio library so much these days. Or ... maybe just about anything for the moment.

So here it is, folks, ten days later, and that content's gone.
It hasn't been the first time that Driscoll content that has been quoted accurately and in context abruptly vanishes from some venue.
Here at Wenatchee The Hatchet there was a case of documenting Mark Driscoll's teaching on spiritual warfare from a 2008 talk in which he discussed bitterness as demonic and cross-referenced that teaching to his 2012 statements in Real Marriage about how he was bitter toward his wife Grace over the lack of sex in their marriage.
That was March 17, 2014

On March 19, 2014 Wenatchee The Hatchet noted that a whole lot of sermons just vanished from the media archives at Mars Hill Church, replete with screen captured evidence for consideration.

On March 22, 2014, it turned out the whole Spiritual Warfare series from 2008 was removed, along with the sermon series Peasant Princess. There's actually a lot of purged content you can't get to anymore that was quoted in this next blog post. For the sake of educational/journalistic purposes you can peruse the blog post if so inclined over here.

On March 24, 2014 WtH published a discussion of Driscoll's presentation on how not-enough-sex-in-marriage was satanic.

More recently, WtH has noted that robots.txt had been introduced at The Resurgence.
This has been an epic level of purging of media content and of introducing measures to preclude ever finding that content with The WayBack Machine.

It may be coincidental, since TGC just underwent a major website rehaul this week.
that could be, though the timing of the renovation is certainly unfortunately timed given the news of a number of past participants in TGC. WtH is perfectly willing to chalk things up to coincidence, though.
The massive retroactive purge by MH of media content is harder to chalk up to coincidence but the Gospel Coalition renovation sure could be.
