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.

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.

Despite our many material comforts, our culture continues to be characterized by anxiety and depression. We worry about every aspect of life: Is my job secure? Am I healthy? Will I get married? Will I have kids? What’s going to happen to the economy? While we do not float above the problems of this life, as followers of Christ, we have no reason to give in to worry and fear. In this message from Matthew 6:25–33, a message given in light of the Coronavirus Pandemic, David Platt points us to Christ’s counsel for anxious souls. We can trust in the care of our heavenly Father, who provides not only for our earthly needs but more importantly for our eternal good.Explore more content from Radical.
