David Platt Messages

All of history hinges on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In a world filled with brokenness and suffering, Jesus alone is able to address our ultimate problem, the problem of sin and evil. It’s sin, including our own sin, that separates from God. In this Easter message from Revelation 5, David Platt invites us to find new life in the One who died as a sinless sacrifice and who rose again to conquer sin and death. The risen Christ deserves endless praise for who he is and what he has accomplished for our salvation.  Explore more content from Radical [https://radical.net/].

Why do so many Christians seem to treat prayer so casually? Could it be that we have forgotten that we are in a spiritual battle and that the stakes are eternal? In this message from Colossians 4:2–18, we’re reminded that prayer is not simply a means of asking God to give us the things we want. It’s a privilege we have of asking God to carry out his will amid a spiritual battle for the souls of men. Find out what it means to use prayer as a wartime walkie-talkie.  Explore more content from Radical [https://radical.net/].

Despite having plans for their children’s academic, athletic, social, and financial‬ ‭ success, many parents, including Christian parents, have given little thought to their‬ ‭ children’s spiritual development. This is the thing that matters most—their standing‬ ‭ before God and their growth in grace. In this message from Colossians 3:20–21, David‬ ‭ Platt highlights the difference it makes when parents and children listen to God’s Word‬ ‭ and respond with faith in Jesus and obedience to his commands.‬  Explore more content from Radical [https://radical.net/].

Fewer people are getting married in our culture, and many who do get married tend to delay the pursuit of marriage until they are well into their 20s and 30s. This low view of marriage has also seeped into the church so that many Christians have lost sight of a biblical view of marriage. In this message from Colossians 3:18–19, David Platt points the church to God’s good design in marriage, including the way husbands and wives are to reflect Christ’s love for the church in the way they relate to one another.  Explore more content from Radical [https://radical.net/].

The fact that over 3 billion people in the world are unreached—meaning they have little or no access to the gospel—highlights the scope and the urgency of the church’s mission. It’s a mission in which every follower of Christ has a role to play, and God has provided unprecedented opportunities for the church to spread the gospel today. Yet, as David Platt reminds us in this message from the book of Acts, prayer is crucial to the accomplishment of this mission, for it is only by the power of the Holy Spirit that the church can be faithful and effective in the task of making disciples of all nations. This message was given at the Gather 25 conference in Kuala Lumpur.  Explore more content from Radical [https://radical.net/].
