It’s all too common for Christians and for churches to seek to know God and to make Him known apart from relying on His Spirit. However, relying external regulations and human abilities is empty and, ultimately, damning. In this sermon from 2 Corinthians 3:7–18, David Platt reminds us that God’s people should be desperate for the Spirit’s presence and power. Gratefully, in His grace, God freely gives His Spirit to those who put their trust in Jesus.

How do we worship God in his wrath? In this message on Revelation 15–16, Pastor David Platt teaches us how to worship the sovereign and powerful Lord. The book of Revelation is a series of apocalyptic visions filled with prophetic pronouncements written as a congregational letter. These visions include various symbols and numbers (which often lead to various interpretations). These visions are arranged cyclically, not chronologically.

How Do We Worship God in His Wrath?

As we think of the greatness of God and the massive number of people around the world, it’s easy to feel small and insignificant. Even Christians can start to feel as if God doesn’t know or care about the details of our lives. However, as David Platt points out in this message from Nehemiah 7, the God who redeems us knows everything about us—and he cares for us! Followers of Jesus can find their identity in Christ and take comfort that they are in a long line of believers who, over centuries, have been redeemed and preserved by God’s grace and steadfast love. This should compel us to live for God’s glory in the time and place in which he has placed us. 

God: "You Matter to Me"

We are ordinary believers doing extraordinary things with God's Word for God's glory making disciples and multiplying churches knowing that the cost is great believing that the reward is greater. In this message on Revelation 12:1–15:4, David Platt reminds us that when we fight our sin, we fight from a place of victory, not for it. 

Fighting from (not for) Victory

We live in a culture that says, “Live your truth,” but deep down, we know this isn’t how life, or spiritual truth, works. We all live based on certain objective truths. When it comes to questions about religion, we all need to ask two questions: (1) Is this true? and (2) Is this truth worthy of my life? In this message from John 14:1–6 from David Platt, we’re invited to respond to Jesus, who claimed to be the truth—and he rose from the dead to prove it. Our eternity hinges on our response. How will you respond?

Truth and Love Worthy of Your Life

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.
