    God: "You Matter to Me"

    God: "You Matter to Me"

    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.

    Fighting from (not for) Victory

    Fighting from (not for) Victory

    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.

    Truth and Love Worthy of Your Life

    Truth and Love Worthy of Your Life

    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?

    Don’t Grow Weary in Doing Good

    Don’t Grow Weary in Doing Good

    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.

    The God Who Fights for Us as We Face Opposition

    The God Who Fights for Us as We Face Opposition

    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.

    How Can My Work Bring Glory to God?

    How Can My Work Bring Glory to God?

    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.
