Generosity in Community
10 september 2025 · 59 min
It’s sobering to realize that the way we use our money is a reflection of our hearts. Are we eager to give for the sake of God’s glory, or are we more concerned with our own comforts? In this message from 2 Corinthians 8–9, we’re reminded that our giving should be an overflow of God’s grace in our lives. David Platt reminds us that we don’t give out of guilt or to reach some arbitrary amount. Rather, we give generously for the good of others because we want praise and thanksgiving to abound to God. Regardless of how much or how little we have to give, Christians ought to see giving as a privilege. Those who have received God’s grace in Christ ought to be marked by their generosity Lees meer

Covenant Discipline and Restoration – Part 2
9 juli 2025 · 54 min
God intends for the church to be a display of his glory, which means the church’s holiness, or lack thereof, has a massive effect on its witness. It’s no wonder, then, that Scripture commands church discipline. In this message from Matthew 18:15–20 and 1 Corinthians 5:1–13, David Platt urges the church to take seriously its responsibility to address sin in the congregation. As we hold one another accountable, we are aiming for the purity of the church and the eternal good of one another. Lees meer

Helping Each Other Hold Onto Hope
2 juli 2025 · 42 min
Does faith sometimes feel like a struggle? Do you ever find that trusting God and obeying him in this fallen world is a fight? Due to our sin and the weakness of our flesh, all Christians are involved in a spiritual battle—it’s a battle to persevere in faith and hope. In this message from Hebrews 10:23, we’re reminded that God has not left us alone in the fight of faith. Not only has he given us his Spirit and his Word, but he has also given us one another—brothers and sisters in Christ. Christians are not lone rangers, and as David Platt reminds us in this message, we need the church to help us hold onto our hope in Christ. Lees meer

Covenant Discipline and Restoration – Part 1
25 juni 2025 · 46 min
The idea of confronting people in their sin seems like the last thing a church would want to do, particularly if its goal is to attract more people. However, when Jesus gave instructions regarding the church, the topic we know of as church discipline as a top priority. In this message from Matthew 18:15–20, David Platt exhorts the church to carry out its God-given responsibility to deal with sin and to seek to restore one another. We can trust Jesus to build his church, for he desires our holiness and he knows that sin is destructive. Lees meer

Open-handed Community
18 juni 2025 · 52 min
The world tells us to look out for “number one” and to be true to ourselves. Our own happiness, comfort, and self-fulfillment seems to be the end goal. But that’s not the community of God’s people, the church, should look like. In this message from Romans 12, David Platt shows us that the community of God’s people, the church, should be marked by its others-centeredness. As those who have received God’s mercy, Christians should be eager to show mercy and meet the needs of their brothers and sisters in Christ. Lees meer

God-Centered Community
11 juni 2025 · 47 min
Many Christians and churches talk about “community,” but unless that community is formed and continually built up by God’s Word, it can become just another gathering where human opinions and human wisdom take center stage. In this message from 2 Timothy 3:10–4:8, David Platt encourages the church to look to Scripture for its wisdom and strength. As God’s Spirit applies God’s Word to God’s people, the church begins to look increasingly like a God-centered community. Lees meer

The Importance of Covenant in Community
4 juni 2025 · 57 min
While many people lament the divisiveness of our culture today, we as Christians ought to have a much more profound sense of unity than non-Christians. By God’s grace, we have been rescued from our sin and the wrath of God through faith in Christ. We are now united as his body, church. In this message from Ephesians 1:22–23, David Platt points out the amazing privilege believers have of putting Christ’s glory on display on account of his grace and through his power. Lees meer

Members of a New Community
28 mei 2025 · 51 min
As members of the new covenant, Christians can enter God’s presence with full assurance through faith in Jesus Christ, and they have a hope that is as sure as God’s faithful character. But these privileges are not private blessings for isolated individuals. In this message from Hebrews 10:19–25, David Platt shows us the privilege and responsibility we have to gather regularly with the church and encourage our fellow members to press on in following Christ. As a community of faith, we are to stir up one another to love and good works, particularly as the day of Christ’s return draws near. Lees meer

Rest for Your Restless Soul
21 mei 2025 · 27 min
Are you anxious about anything in your life right now? Are you fearful about something coming in the days ahead? If not, then it’s likely you’ll be tempted toward anxiety and fear in the near future. There is so much we can’t control in our lives, but as Psalm 131 reminds us, we weren’t made to control our lives or to be autonomous. We were made to humbly rely on God, for this is the only way to experience true and lasting rest. In this message, David Platt encourages us to imitate the Psalmist in Psalm 131 by entrusting our lives to the Lord. Regardless of the trials we may face, those who belong to Christ by faith can rest in God’s sovereign goodness and all-sufficient salvation. Lees meer

Three Days That Change History (Including Yours)
23 april 2025 · 27 min
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. Lees meer

Prayer: Our Wartime Walkie-Talkie
16 april 2025 · 42 min
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. Lees meer

The Difference Jesus Makes in Children and Parents
9 april 2025 · 34 min
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.

The Difference Jesus Makes in Marriage
2 april 2025 · 43 min
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.

Gather 25 Conference Message
26 maart 2025 · 20 min
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. Lees meer

South by Southwest Conference Message
19 maart 2025 · 31 min
What are you here for? What is your purpose in life? Despite what our culture tells us, we were not created to “live for the moment” 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 created—to seek and enjoy God—and the ultimate mission that Christians and churches have been given—to 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. Lees meer

Recipients of a New Covenant
12 maart 2025 · 53 min
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 10:19–39, we’re 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. Lees meer

The Gospel Demands Radical Abandonment - Part 3
5 maart 2025 · 1 uur
In the Old Testament, God’s 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, God’s people are not promised wealth or comfort, at least not in the present age. In Mark 10:17–31, 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 Jesus’ words and to trust in God’s generous provision. Lees meer

Christ in You, the Hope of Glory

As the Lord who has authority over all creation, Jesus Christ did not only come to die on behalf of his people—as amazing as that is—but he also came to live in them! Living the Christian life is not primarily about our wisdom and strength but about Christ’s wisdom and power at work in and through us. In this message from Colossians 1:24–2:5, David Platt points us to the astounding reality of “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Lees meer

The Gospel Demands Radical Abandonment - Part 1
12 februari 2025 · 58 min
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 10:17–31, Jesus exposes the idolatry of the rich young ruler. While not every Christian is called to give up all their possessions, Jesus’ 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 greater—infinitely so!—than any earthly treasure that the world may offer Lees meer

The Gospel Demands Radical Giving
5 februari 2025 · 1 uur 10 min
God freely forgives our sin through the gospel, but he doesn’t intend to leave us in our sins. Genuine faith should lead to a change of heart, and according to Jesus’ teaching in Luke 16:19–31, 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. Lees meer

When we realize Who is leading us through life’s dark valleys, we can be confident in his salvation and provision through every trial. Lees meer

The Gospel Demands Radical Compassion
22 januari 2025 · 59 min
Some Christians wrongly assume that the safest place to be is in the center of God’s will. However, if we’re 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 9:35–10:42, David Platt points out that the danger of our lives may actually increase as we follow God’s 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. Lees meer

Is the Bible Reliable?
15 januari 2025 · 40 min
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 strengthen your trust in God’s 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 Bible’s authority. These words have been breathed out by God himself. Lees meer

The Gospel Demands Radical Sacrifice
8 januari 2025 · 40 min
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 Christ shouldn’t be motivated by guilt or a desire to earn God’s favor—which we can’t do—but rather from a sincere and superior love for the One who gave his life for sinners like us.

Christmas Eve
1 januari 2025 · 23 min
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 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. Lees meer

The Decision We All Must Make (And The Danger of Deception In It)
25 december 2024 · 38 min
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 confronted with the decision about whether we will enter by the narrow gate or the wide gate—whether we will truly follow Jesus and live by his teaching or merely maintain a superficial attachment to him. Gratefully, entering God’s kingdom isn’t ultimately based on our own obedience but on the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. Salvation comes by relying on him. Lees meer

The Astounding Privilege And Promises Of Prayer

Are you satisfied with your prayer life? If you’re like many Christians, the answer is no. But why is that? Why is it that we struggle to spend concentrated time in prayer with the all-glorious King of the Universe, the only One who can meet our most pressing needs and truly satisfy us? In this passage from Matthew 7:7–11, Jesus urges his disciples to be persistent in prayer in light of the goodness and generosity of their Father in heaven. Though we don’t always know what’s best for us, we can go to God in prayer, trusting his perfect wisdom and love. This message from David Platt highlights the privilege and promises of prayer.

What The Gospel Demands
11 december 2024 · 55 min
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 one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.” Following Jesus is costly, but in the end, it is the path to true and eternal satisfaction.
