David Platt Messages

We’re in a spiritual war and Satan is actively working to destroy us by tempting us to sin. And one of the scariest things is that we often don’t even realize it. In this message from David Platt from Proverbs 7, we’re reminded to stay alert to temptation and to fight it in the power that God supplies. The good news for those in Christ is that our victory over sin is assured because of what God has accomplished in the gospel.Explore more content from Radical.

The church has an obligation to seek and pray for godly leaders. So, what does a godly leader look like? In this message from Numbers 20:1–13, the sin of one of Israel’s greatest leaders, Moses, helps clarify the kind of leadership the church needs (and doesn’t need). We need leaders who are compassionate, who submit to God’s glory, who trust in God’s plan, and who know they have a responsibility for God’s reputation. These qualities are only possible as Christ indwells and empowers church leaders. This message from David Platt is the fourth of four in a series titled “Sin in the Camp” and can be found at Radical.net.Explore more content from Radical.

How would you describe your work? Boring? Frustrating? All-consuming? If we’re honest, many of us can find our work to be discouraging, even if we’re doing something that we generally like. However, in this message from the book of Proverbs, David Platt reminds us of God’s original purpose in our work, as well as the motivation that knowing Christ should give us. While the effects of sin in the world often make our work feel frustrating rather than satisfying, those who are trusting in Christ can work diligently knowing that, regardless of what they do, they are serving Christ and being empowered by his Spirit.Explore more content from Radical.

To people who like to think of themselves as independent and self-sufficient, Jesus’ words, “I am the vine,” can be humbling. Apart from Jesus, we can do nothing. But for those who are trusting in Jesus, abundant, supernatural life is available! Jesus wants to produce his life and fruit through us, his branches. In this message from John 15:1–11 from David Platt, we are encouraged to come to Jesus continually so that he might bear fruit in and through our lives for the glory of God. (This message was given at The Gospel Coalition Women’s Conference 2024.)Explore more content from Radical.
