Radical with David Platt

In this message from James 1:19–25, David Platt challenges us to not merely listen to God's Word but to obey it—immediately.While obedience doesn't earn God's favor, it is a mark of those who truly belong to Jesus. This is where true freedom is found—in hearing and obeying the Word of God. This message was given at a breakout session of CrossCon 2025.Explore more content from Radical.

In this message from Psalm 119, David Platt gives us 50 reasons to memorize God's Word. Hiding the Word in our hearts and meditating on it all day is not merely a religious routine but rather the way to flee sin and find lasting joy in God himself.Explore more content from Radical.

If you're a Christian, then you have the Holy Spirit dwelling inside you. If that reality doesn't leave you stunned, then you may not fully grasp who the Spirit is and how, according to Scripture, he works in and through God's people. In this message from CROSS CON25, David Platt highlights 50 ways the Holy Spirit supernaturally transforms the lives of those who belong to Jesus Christ.Explore more content from Radical.

 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. Explore more content from Radical.

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. Explore more content from Radical.

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.‬ Secret Church 25 is finally happening this April 11, and there's still time to join us!

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. We hope you'll join us for Secret Church 25 on April 11.

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. We hope you'll join us for Secret Church 25 on April 11.

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.We hope you'll join us for Secret Church 25 on April 11.

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.We hope you'll join us for Secret Church 25 on April 11.

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. We hope you'll join us for Secret Church 25 on April 11.

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.” Have you signed up for Secret Church 25 yet?

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 offerHave you signed up for Secret Church 25 yet?

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. Explore more content from Radical.

 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 life's dark valleys, we can be confident in his salvation and provision through every trial. Explore more content from Radical.

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.Explore more content from Radical.

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. Explore more content from Radical.

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.Explore more content from Radical.

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. Explore more content from Radical.

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. This year, we have the opportunity to support 10,000 gospel leaders in hard-to-reach places who need training and resources to impact their communities with the life-altering message of the gospel.Through the end of the year, every gift received will be doubled, dollar for dollar.Join us to make Jesus known in all neighborhoods and nations.Double your impact.

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.

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. This upcoming year, together, we have the opportunity of enabling 10,000 gospel learners in hard-to-reach countries; and to engage over 30 million people with gospel-centered content, just like the podcast you're listening to today.Join us in making Jesus known in all neighborhoods and nations today!Visit radical.net/makejesusknown now!Explore more content from Radical.

“Judge not, that you be not judged.” This is one of the best-known verses in all of Scripture, even for non-Christians. Unfortunately, though, it's also one of the most misunderstood portions of Jesus' teaching. These words have been misused and twisted, sometimes as an excuse for sin. In this message from Matthew 7:1–6, David Platt helps us see what kind of judgment Jesus wants (and doesn't want) from his followers. We need the help of God's Spirit to rightly evaluate our own lives and the lives of others with humility and godly wisdom. This upcoming year, together, we have the opportunity of enabling 10,000 gospel learners in hard-to-reach countries; and to engage over 30 million people with gospel-centered content, just like the podcast you're listening to today.Join us in making Jesus known in all neighborhoods and nations today!Visit radical.net/makejesusknown now!Explore more content from Radical.

Did you know that you can give, pray, and fast regularly, and yet still fail to please God? It's entirely possible to do the right things for the wrong reason. In this message from Matthew 6:1–18, David Platt highlights Jesus' warning about living for the praise and recognition of others. God himself is our reward, and it is enough to know that he sees us. Explore more content from Radical.

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 5:1–14, 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. Explore more content from Radical.

When you hear the word “worship,” what comes to mind? Your favorite worship songs? A certain feeling or vibe on Sunday morning? Unfortunately, we often put ourselves at the center of Sunday morning rather than the One who should be the focus of our worship. In this message from Mark 11:15–19, David Platt urges us to make sure that God is at the center of our worship. God-centered worship changes not only our heart posture in corporate worship but also the way we live our lives. Explore more content from Radical.

Our culture takes the covenant of marriage very lightly and downplays the seriousness of divorce. In our own attempts to find happiness and fulfillment, we've sought out what we think is a better way. However, based on Matthew 5:31–37, we see that Jesus has a very different view of marriage and divorce. In this message, David Platt points us to God's design for marriage—a design that is better for us and that brings him glory. Gratefully, for those who have rejected a biblical view of marriage, God's grace in the gospel is sufficient for forgiveness and restoration. Explore more content from Radical.

Whether it's stories of the early church or Christians who are suffering for the sake of the gospel today, we sometimes wonder, “Is it possible for us to have that kind of faith today?” In this message from Acts 7:54–8:4, David Platt explains why he thinks the answer is yes. With the martyrdom of Stephen as an example, we can see what it looks like to live—and die—in order to make Christ known. God has chosen to use suffering and persecution to spread his gospel to the ends of the earth. Explore more content from Radical.

In our day, we're told that you need to “live your truth.” You need to be the authority in your life. And this isn't a new thing: ever since Satan's original temptation in the garden, man has been tempted to look to some authority other than God. But as Matthew 5:17–20 tells us, true life is found in submission to the loving authority of Jesus and his Word, and in leading others to Jesus. In this message, David Platt points us to the authority of Scripture and its witness to Jesus Christ. We will only find eternal life by turning from our own illusions of autonomy and submitting to the One who gave his life for sinners. Explore more content from Radical.

 It can be tempting, particularly in an election season, to think that the most important things going on in the world have to do with political leaders and political parties. We can even be tempted to use the world's tactics when engaging the culture. In this message from Matthew 5:13–16, David Platt highlights Jesus' exhortation to be salt and light and to let our good works lead others to glorify God. In a world corrupted by sin, people's greatest need is the gospel, and the church has the privilege of proclaiming this good news. Explore more content from Radical.

Believe in yourself. Promote yourself. Be true to yourself. Satisfy yourself. According to the world, this is the good life. But this is precisely the opposite of what it means to live as a citizen of God's kingdom. In this message from Matthew 5:7–12, David Platt helps us see the radical, upside-down nature of what it means to live the good life according to Jesus. While followers of Jesus may be weak and maligned in the eyes of the world, the promise of an eternal kingdom, along with God's strength and presence daily, gives us a different glimpse of the life that is truly blessed. Explore more content from Radical.

What happens to people who never hear the name of Jesus? Would a good and just God really send them to hell? In this message from David Platt from Romans 1–3, we're reminded that all people, without exception, stand condemned in their sin and deserving of God's just and eternal wrath. That's why it's so crucial that we understand the urgency of getting the gospel to them. Better yet, we need to ask the question, “How might God use me to help spread the gospel to those who have never heard?” As followers of Jesus, we should want people from all nations to hear and believe the same good news that saved us. Explore more content from Radical.

Is being an “expert” in religion yet lacking reverence and respect for God's Word possible? According to Isaiah 66, it's entirely possible. Like God's people in the Old Testament, we too need to be reminded of God's awe-inspiring character as it is revealed in his Word. In this message, David Platt urges us to consider the weight and value of God's Word, reciting Romans 1–8 from memory. God's greatness should compel us to hear, believe, memorize, meditate on, and live according to his Word.Explore more content from Radical.

Jesus has given the church the task of making disciples of all nations. Many Christians view this as a task for pastors, missionaries, or other specially gifted Christians, but the Great Commission isn't just for a select few. In this message from Matthew 28:16–20 from David Platt, we'll see that every Christian has a part to play in making disciples in their own neighborhood and among all nations. Yet, this is not a mission we came up with or that we carry out in our own strength. We go in the sovereign authority of Jesus, and we rely on the presence of Jesus. He has promised to be with his church to the end of the age.Explore more content from Radical.

God is described as a Father of the fatherless, and he tells us that true religion involves caring for orphans and widows. In this message from Psalm 10, David Platt urges us to put our faith into action by caring for the most vulnerable among us. However, we care for the vulnerable not out of guilt or because we have it all together. We care for the vulnerable because God, by his grace, has come to us in our brokenness and brought us into his family through the gospel. Explore more content from Radical.

It's not popular to talk about hell today, and even some Christians seem to be turned off by the topic. However, in his love and mercy, Jesus warns us of God's eternal and just judgment of sinners. In fact, we hear more about hell from Jesus' earthly ministry than from anywhere else in Scripture. At the same time, Jesus also tells us of the love of God that results in eternal life for all who believe in his Son. This message from David Platt from John 3:16 helps us see the only two options for everyone: eternal perishing apart from Christ or eternal life through faith in Christ.From unexpected olympic champion to martyr in China.

True love is always costly. In the greatest display of love in all of history, Jesus laid down his life on our behalf. In this message from John 3:14–16, David Platt highlights the magnitude of Christ's love for us and invites us to gaze upon the cross. Jesus points us back to Numbers 21 where we see a picture of his gracious, substitutionary death for sinners. By recognizing the extent of our rebellion, we begin to grasp the undeserved love of God in Christ.From unexpected olympic champion to martyr in China.

It's difficult to think of anything more difficult than being asked to give up your only child. Yet this is what Abraham is asked to do in Genesis 22 as he lays his son, Isaac, on the altar. In this story, we not only see Abraham's remarkable faith in God; we also get an unforgettable picture of the love of God that we read about in John 3:16. This is the God who gave his only Son so that all who believe in him might have eternal life. In this message, David Platt points us to God's love in sending his Son to die on the cross as a substitute for sinners.From unexpected olympic champion to martyr in China.

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.From unexpected olympic champion to martyr in China.

Sin has devastating effects on our lives and our community. In this message on Joshua 7:1–26, David Platt continues to encourage us to recognize the weight of sin in our lives. He shows us that sin doesn't just impact our life, but actually impacts those around us. He pleads with us to repent of our sins and look to the Lord. 

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.

As followers of Jesus, we often say that this world is not our home, but is that reflected in the way we view our money? Do we spend our resources on that which will matter for eternity, or are we primarily focused on temporary comforts and pleasures? In this message from David Platt, we'll learn from the book of Proverbs a wise approach to money, an approach that helps us flourish under God's design. Neither guilt nor greed should motivate us, for the gospel frees us to use our possessions to store up eternal treasure.

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.)

We need a radically God-centered perspective of sin. Sin has affected our lives and leads us to the mercy of God. In this message on Joshua 7:1–26, David Platt calls us to change our view of sin.

We have sought leaders without conviction, devised salvation without dedication, manufactured worship without humiliation, and created a god without retribution. In this message on Exodus 32:1–6, Pastor David Platt reminds us of the sin that we corporately confess.

We often approach the book of Revelation as a book to be deciphered. However, believers in the first century found more hope in this book than cryptic messages and symbols needing interpretation. In this message on Revelation 22:6–21, David Platt challenges us to move beyond simply interpreting the book for knowledge, and to instead practically apply this final passage to our lives as we await the return of Jesus Christ.

Death will be replaced by life. In the presence of God, there will be no more sin, sorrow, sickness, and separation. For eternity, we will glorify God with people of every tribe, tongue, and nation. In this message on Revelation 21:1–22:5, Pastor David Platt reminds us that we live between two worlds as Christians.

Is your love for the Lord growing cold? Do you remember a time when you were more intentional about loving and serving other believers, more serious about fighting sin, and more eager to tell other people about Jesus? Have you become casual about eternal realities? In this message from David Platt from Nehemiah 13, we'll see the danger of spiritual carelessness among the people of Israel. It's a danger that we need to be aware of today, particularly in light of the subtlety and seriousness of sin. The good news is, that the reward of spiritual carefulness is indescribably great, and God's grace in Jesus Christ is sufficient to give us victory over sin and eternal life.
