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.

A Good and Bad Way to Judge Others
“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.

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.
