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 3:18ā19, David Platt points the church to Godās good design in marriage, including the way husbands and wives are to reflect Christās love for the church in the way they relate to one another.

The fact that over 3 billion people in the world are unreachedāmeaning they have little or no access to the gospelāhighlights the scope and the urgency of the churchās mission. Itās 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.

What are you here for? What is your purpose in life? Despite what our culture tells us, we were not created to ālive for the momentā or to pursue health, wealth, and fulfillment in this life only. In this message from Psalm 67, David Platt challenges us to consider the ultimate goal for which we were createdāto seek and enjoy Godāand the ultimate mission that Christians and churches have been givenāto spread and exalt the glory of God among all nations. The question all of us need to ask is, What might it look like for me to leverage my life and my vocation in light of these glorious realities? This sermon was given at the Sunday Service for the South by Southwest conference.

As Christians we can easily take for granted the great privilege we have of having access to God through Christ. But when we consider the holiness of God, the sinfulness of man, and all that was involved in approaching God in the Old Testament, the saving work of Christ appears even more glorious. In this message from David Platt from Hebrews 10:19ā39, weāre reminded of the infinitely gracious privilege we have as recipients of a new covenant. Those who have put their trust in Christ are invited to come boldly into the presence of God.

In the Old Testament, Godās people were often promised earthly, physical blessings if they obeyed him. The blessings of land and prosperity were often anticipations of a greater, heavenly reward. In the New Testament, on the other hand, Godās people are not promised wealth or comfort, at least not in the present age. In Mark 10:17ā31, Jesus warns us of the danger of treasuring money and making an idol out of it. Our money and our resources should be used for the purpose of his kingdom. David Platt urges Christians in wealthier contexts to take heed of Jesusā words and to trust in Godās generous provision.

As the Lord who has authority over all creation, Jesus Christ did not only come to die on behalf of his peopleāas amazing as that isābut he also came to live in them! Living the Christian life is not primarily about our wisdom and strength but about Christās wisdom and power at work in and through us. In this message from Colossians 1:24ā2:5, David Platt points us to the astounding reality of āChrist in you, the hope of glory.ā

If Jesus asked you to give up all your money and possessions in order to follow him, how would you respond? Is your allegiance to money greater than your allegiance to Jesus? In this message from Matthew 10:17ā31, Jesus exposes the idolatry of the rich young ruler. While not every Christian is called to give up all their possessions, Jesusā words should cause every would-be follower to examine their own heart. Our allegiance to Jesus must be greater than our allegiance to money. However, as David Platt points out in this message, the reward Jesus offers is greaterāinfinitely so!āthan any earthly treasure that the world may offer

God freely forgives our sin through the gospel, but he doesnāt intend to leave us in our sins. Genuine faith should lead to a change of heart, and according to Jesusā teaching in Luke 16:19ā31, that change of heart should be evident in the way we treat the poor. Sadly, we are often tempted to ignore the needs of others while prioritizing our own comfort. In this message, David Platt urges us to consider our treatment of the poor and needy as an indication of the condition of our hearts. At the same time, our use of money should not be motivated by guilt but rather by grace.

What does it mean that the Lord is our shepherd, and how should this give Christians comfort today? In this message from Psalm 23, David Platt points us to the ways that Psalm 23 highlights the goodness of God and Jesus Christ as the good shepherd who has laid down his life for his sheep. When we realize Who is leading us through lifeās dark valleys, we can be confident in his salvation and provision through every trial.

Some Christians wrongly assume that the safest place to be is in the center of Godās will. However, if weāre going to follow Jesus and demonstrate radical compassion toward those in need, then safety should not be our ultimate concern. In this message from Matthew 9:35ā10:42, David Platt points out that the danger of our lives may actually increase as we follow Godās will. But the good news is that the One who sends us out into the world has promised to be with us, to sustain us, and to give us an eternal reward based on the salvation that he has provided.

How do you know the Bible is the Word of God? Thatās 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 Godās Word. Whether youāre a Christian looking to strengthen your trust in Godās Word or a non-Christian who is curious about the claims of Christianity, the spiritual stakes are too high for us to be left wondering about the Bibleās authority. These words have been breathed out by God himself.

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 14:26ā35 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 Christ shouldnāt be motivated by guilt or a desire to earn Godās favorāwhich we canāt doābut rather from a sincere and superior love for the One who gave his life for sinners like us.

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 2:1ā12, 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 lordship? The good news of Christmas is that Christ, the true King, laid down his life so that whoever trusts in him can be forgiven of their sins and have eternal life.

Jesus warns us in todayās passage that āmanyā will be shocked on the last day to find out that they never truly belonged to him. Though they called him āLordā 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 7:12ā27, we are confronted with the decision about whether we will enter by the narrow gate or the wide gateāwhether we will truly follow Jesus and live by his teaching or merely maintain a superficial attachment to him. Gratefully, entering Godās kingdom isnāt ultimately based on our own obedience but on the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. Salvation comes by relying on him.

Are you satisfied with your prayer life? If youāre like many Christians, the answer is no.ā¬ ā But why is that? Why is it that we struggle to spend concentrated time in prayer with theā¬ ā all-glorious King of the Universe, the only One who can meet our most pressing needsā¬ ā and truly satisfy us? In this passage from Matthew 7:7ā11, Jesus urges his disciples toā¬ ā be persistent in prayer in light of the goodness and generosity of their Father in heaven.ā¬ ā Though we donāt always know whatās best for us, we can go to God in prayer, trustingā¬ ā his perfect wisdom and love. This message from David Platt highlights the privilege andā¬ ā promises of prayer.ā¬

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: āAny one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.ā Following Jesus is costly, but in the end, it is the path to true and eternal satisfaction.

āJudge not, that you be not judged.ā This is one of the best-known verses in all of Scripture, even for non-Christians. Unfortunately, though, itās also one of the most misunderstood portions of Jesusā teaching. These words have been misused and twisted, sometimes as an excuse for sin. In this message from Matthew 7:1ā6, David Platt helps us see what kind of judgment Jesus wants (and doesnāt want) from his followers. We need the help of Godās Spirit to rightly evaluate our own lives and the lives of others with humility and godly wisdom.

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 5:1ā14, David Platt points us to a Savior who has overcome death in order to give us eternal life freely. He is worthy of our faith, worship, and devotion.
