You may or may not view yourself as a leader, but almost everyone has some kind of influence on those around them. The question is, “How are you leveraging that influence?” In this message from Nehemiah 5:19–24 from David Platt, we’re challenged from the example of Nehemiah to see our influence as a responsibility before God. We want to point others to Christ and lay down our lives for their eternal good. In the end, followers of Jesus don’t live for their own rights or for the opinions of men: we live for the commendation of God alone.

Have you ever been unfairly criticized or slandered? Have you faced opposition for the sake of the gospel? Do you ever feel as if trying to be faithful to the Lord has made life more difficult for you? If so, then you’re in good company. In this message from David Platt from Nehemiah 4, we’re encouraged not to be deterred from pursuing God and his mission in the face of opposition. We should expect opposition in this world as we seek to carry out God’s will according to his Word, but our ultimate enemy is not flesh and blood—it’s Satan. Therefore, we must rely on God fully as we persevere in living for Christ and in carrying out the mission he has given us. God uses everything, including opposition to the gospel, for the good of his people.

What motivates you in the work you do? What does the way you work say about you? Who are you ultimately working for? Given the amount of time most people spend working during their lives, those are important questions. In this message from David Platt, we’ll see not only the way work played a role in God’s redemptive purposes in Nehemiah 3, but also the way in which God designed work from the beginning to be for our good and his glory. Though our work is often difficult and unsatisfying due to the effects of sin, knowing Jesus should transform why we work and the way we work.

The church has been tasked with reaching the next generation with the gospel and with reaching the nations with the gospel. Both of these aspects of the church’s mission have eternal implications, and both can feel overwhelming. In this message from Nehemiah 2 by David Platt, we’ll see that the great work God has called us to is possible, but only with the good hand of our God working in and through us. As we seek his face and rely on his power, we are strengthened and sustained in the great work of making disciples of all nations.

As followers of Christ, we have the amazing privilege of spending time with the living God and talking to him in prayer. However, time with God was never meant to remain an experience for isolated individuals. As the body of Christ, the church was meant to be with God together. In this message from David Platt from Acts 2:42–47, we get a glimpse of the many blessings that come from gathering with our brothers and sisters in Christ as the church gathers. We were designed to experience God together and to be channels of his grace to one another and to the world around us. We were saved to be with God in community.

 David Platt unpacks the central point of Revelation 8-11. Instead of speculating about the future, this passage should fuel fervent prayer for God’s coming kingdom and embolden us to fearlessly proclaim the gospel. In this message on Revelation 8–11, Pastor David Platt teaches us that the purpose of Revelation is not to promote speculation about the future, but to compel action in the present.

 God is ultimately sovereign over evil. Satan can do nothing apart from divine permission. Suffering is always used to fulfill divine purposes. Men and women are morally responsible for evil. God will save men and women who trust in him and live for another world. In this message on Revelation 6–7, Pastor David Platt reminds Christians that we will stand in heaven at the end of tribulation.

 In the life of a follower of Christ, suffering can either push them into compromise or press them into adoration of the triune God. In this message on Revelation 4–5, David Platt teaches us that the triune God is worthy of our full devotion and praise, especially in the midst of suffering. In beholding the glory of the triune God, we are compelled to receive salvation, empowered to escape temptation, and enabled to endure temptation. 1.

Are you afraid, discouraged, disappointed, or depressed? Do you feel exhausted or alone? Have you found yourself dealing with self-pity and self-condemnation? Have you ever reached the point where you wondered whether life is worth living? In some form or another, the prophet Elijah dealt with these very issues, but he wasn’t the only one. God’s people have experienced these trials throughout Scripture and throughout history. In this message from David Platt from 1 Kings 19:1–18, we’ll see why we have reason for hope in every circumstance. The God who created us and sustains us also pursues his people, even in their darkest days. Regardless of our feelings, fears, or circumstances, those who are trusting in Christ can rest in God’s character and his promises.

If Christ were to speak to the Church today, what would he say? In this message on Revelation 2–3, Pastor David Platt teaches us that Christ desires his church to define themselves by their pursuit of him. By doing so, the church can stand in a world that offers competing desires.
