Jan 14 2025 40 mins  
How do you know the Bible is the Word of God? That’s a question Christians should be prepared to answer, particularly since we claim to base our lives, and our eternity, on the truths contained in the words of Scripture. In this message from 2 Timothy 3:16, David Platt offers seven reasons we can be confident that the Bible is God’s Word. Whether you’re a Christian looking to

The Gospel Demands Radical Sacrifice

Jan 07 2025 39 mins  
Have you ever come to Jesus on his terms? It seems that many professing Christians are ok with following Jesus so long as he can be thrown in the mix with other priorities rather than being the priority. In this message from Luke 14:26–35 by David Platt, we are urged to consider what it means to give Christ our supreme love and loyalty, and our very lives. Ultimately, following C

Christmas Eve

Dec 31 2024 23 mins  
Ultimately, there are only two groups of people in the world: (1) those who revere Jesus as the King of their life, and (2) those who reject Jesus as the King of their life. In this Christmas Eve message from Matthew 2:1–12, David Platt challenges us to consider which group we are in. Will we be like Herod and try to rule our own lives, or will we trust in Christ and submit to lo

The Decision We All Must Make (And The Danger of Deception In It)

Dec 24 2024 38 mins  
Jesus warns us in today’s passage that “many” will be shocked on the last day to find out that they never truly belonged to him. Though they called him “Lord” and performed many works in his name, he will claim that he never knew them. How, then, can we be confident that we are truly following Jesus? In this message from David Platt from Matthew 7:12–27, we are confront

The Astounding Privilege And Promises Of Prayer

Dec 17 2024 36 mins  
Are you satisfied with your prayer life? If you’re like many Christians, the answer is no.‬ ‭ But why is that?

In this passage from Matthew 7:7–11, Jesus urges his disciples to‬ �

What The Gospel Demands

Dec 10 2024 54 mins  
Jesus said that we must renounce everything if we want to be his disciple. This is the clear teaching of Scripture, but do we believe this? Do we really believe that following Jesus means turning away from the gods of comfort and self, or have we come up with a Jesus of our own devising? In this message from Luke 14:33, David Platt challenges us to hear the call of Jesus: “Any on

A Good and Bad Way to Judge Others

Dec 03 2024 42 mins  
“Judge not, that you be not judged.” This is one of the best-known verses in all of Scripture, even for non-Christians. Unfortunately, though, it’s also one of the most misunderstood portions of Jesus’ teaching. These words have been misused and twisted, sometimes as an excuse for sin. In this message from Matthew 7:1–6, David Platt helps us see what kind of judgment Jesu

Did you know that you can give, pray, and fast regularly, and yet still fail to please God? It’s entirely possible to do the right things for the wrong reason. In this message from Matthew 6:1–18, David Platt highlights Jesus’ warning about living for the praise and recognition of others. God himself is our reward, and it is enough to know that he sees us.

A Death-Defying Savior

Nov 19 2024 37 mins  
Who is Jesus? People answer that question in various ways, but Scripture gives us the only true answer. Jesus Christ is unlike any other religious leader in history, for he not only knows our greatest problem but he is also able to address it through his life, death, and resurrection. In this message from Revelation 5:1–14, David Platt points us to a Savior who has overcome death

God-Centered Worship

Nov 12 2024 39 mins  
When you hear the word “worship,” what comes to mind? Your favorite worship songs? A certain feeling or vibe on Sunday morning? Unfortunately, we often put ourselves at the center of Sunday morning rather than the One who should be the focus of our worship. In this message from Mark 11:15–19, David Platt urges us to make sure that God is at the center of our worship. God-cent
