2014 "e;Christian Retailing's Best"e; award finalist!What did Jesus really mean when he said, "e;Follow Me"e;?In this new book, David Platt, author of the New York Times bestselling book, Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream, contends that multitudes of people around the world culturally think they are Christians yet biblically are not followers of Christ.Scores of men, women, and children have been told that becoming a follower of Jesus simply involves believing certain truths or saying certain words. As a result, churches today are filled with people who believe they are Christians . . . but aren't. We want to be disciples as long as doing so does not intrude on our lifestyles, our preferences, our comforts, and even our religion.Revealing a biblical picture of what it means to truly be a Christian, Follow Me explores the gravity of what we must forsake in this world, as well as the indescribable joy and deep satisfaction to be found when we live for Christ.The call to follow Jesus is not simply an invitation to pray a prayer; it's a summons to lose your life-and to find new life in him. This book will show you what such life actually looks like.
See how the gospel compels followers of Christ to counter culture on a wide variety of social issues in the world around them.
Something Needs to Change Bible Study Book with Video Access by David Platt includes printed content for eight small group sessions, personal study between group sessions, applicable Scripture, "How to Use This Study," and tips for leading a group. Also, each Book contains unique codes that enable you to access teaching videos for each session. David Platt took a trip to the Himalayan mountains that transformed the trajectory of his life. There he was confronted with staggering physical and spiritual needs unlike any he had seen before. On leaving, Platt found himself asking fundamental questions about his life and ministry. He realized that something needed to change. Being confronted with suffering causes us to ask questions that, if we are honest, we would rather ignore. However, if we believe the Bible, ignorance of profound human need is not an option for us. Neither is indifference. We cannot be Christians and turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the world in need around us. If those responses become the commentary of our lives and our churches, then one fact will be abundantly clear: we were not following Jesus on our journey through this life. What does it mean to follow Jesus in a world filled with urgent physical and spiritual need? In Something Needs to Change, David Platt explores that question as he takes you on a mind-wrestling, heart-wrenching trek through the Himalayas--a life-altering journey of obedience to Christ. Session Topics: Repentance Physical Need Spiritual Need Loving God and People Opportunities Counting the Cost The One Something Needs to Change Features: Videos featuring author David Platt Eight small group sessions for men and women Personal study opportunities between small group sessions for ongoing spiritual growth Benefits: Gain a sense of calling and purpose by considering ways God can use you to meet physical and spiritual needs. Observe Jesus' response to urgent need throughout the Gospel of Luke. Take the next action step to which the Lord is calling you. Identify ways God may be calling you to pray, go, and give for the sake of His glory among the nations. Discover concrete action steps for getting involved in God's mission. See the sights and sounds of Nepal through video teaching filmed on location. Refuse to stand idly by while people perish without hearing the name of Jesus.
El autor de Radical, un éxito de ventas del New York Times, desafía a los cristianos a liberarse del evangelio actual que prostituye a Jesús por comodidad, poder, prosperidad y política, y a buscar por completo el verdadero evangelio que exalta a Jesús por encima de todo. El pastor David Platt cree que nos hemos vuelto muy buenos siguiendo un evangelio realmente malo, uno que adora las ideas estadounidenses sobre la verdad bíblica. Es hora de que los cristianos desilusionados, desalentados y divididos, y la próxima generación, sigan a Jesús hacia un futuro diferente. Tenemos que elegir: un evangelio estadounidense o el evangelio bíblico. División mundana o unidad de otro mundo. Compromiso con los ídolos de nuestro país o compromiso con el llamado de Dios en nuestras vidas. En No te detengas, Platt alienta a los seguidores de Jesús a tomar los riesgos necesarios y encontrar una recompensa inimaginable mientras: Trabajamos a favor, no en contra, unos de otros, especialmente cuando no estamos de acuerdo. Cambiamos el rumbo de siglos de división racial en la Iglesia Confiamos en toda la Palabra de Dios con convicción mientras amamos con compasión a todos los que nos rodean Hacemos justicia con bondad y experimentamos la buena vida según Dios Hacemos nuestra parte en la difusión del evangelio a todas las naciones del mundo Podemos experimentar la maravilla completa de Jesús y la belleza trascendente de su Iglesia aquí y ahora. Pero para hacerlo, algunas cosas deben ser diferentes. Empecemos no con "esa gente", sino con cada uno de nosotros. Con el evangelio en nuestros corazones y Dios como nuestro premio, sigamos adelante y no nos detengamos. > The New York Times bestselling author of Radical challenges Christians to break free from an American gospel that prostitutes Jesus for comfort, power, prosperity, and politics--and fully pursue the true gospel that exalts Jesus above all. Pastor David Platt believes we've gotten really good at following a really bad gospel--one that worships American ideas over biblical truth. It's time for disillusioned, discouraged, and divided Christians, and the next generation, to follow Jesus into a different future. But we have to make a choice: an American gospel or the biblical gospel, worldly division or otherworldly unity, compromise with the idols of our country or commitment to God's call in our lives. In Don't Hold Back, Platt encourages followers of Jesus to take necessary risks and find unimaginable reward as we: Work for, not against, each other, especially when we disagree Turn the tide on centuries of racial division in the church Trust all of God's Word with conviction while loving everyone around us with compassion Do justice with kindness and experience the good life according to God Play our part in spreading the gospel to all the nations of the world We can experience the full wonder of Jesus and the transcendent beauty of His church here and now. But in order to do so, some things need to be different. Starting not in "those people," but in each one of us. With the gospel in our hearts and God as our prize, let's press on and don't hold back.
Qual é o Valor de Jesus para Você? É fácil para nós, cristãos, esquecer-nos de como Jesus disse que Seus seguidores na verdade viveriam, de como seria o estilo de vida deles. Jesus disse que abandonariam a segurança, o dinheiro, a conveniência e inclusive a família por Ele. Abririam mão de tudo pelo Evangelho. Carregariam sua cruz diariamente... Mas você conhece alguém que vive assim? Você vive assim? Em Radical, David Platt nos desafia a considerar, com o coração aberto, como temos manipulado o Evangelho para adaptá-lo às nossas preferências culturais. Ele mostra o que Jesus de fato disse sobre sermos Seus discípulos - e então nos convida a crer e obedecer no que ouvimos. Além disso, nos conta a dramática história sobre o que está acontecendo à medida que uma igreja urbana "de sucesso" decide levar a sério o Evangelho de acordo com as palavras de Jesus. Por fim, ele insiste que você se junte ao Experimento Radical - uma jornada de um ano em discipulado autêntico que irá transformar a maneira como você vive num mundo que precisa desesperadamente das Boas Novas que Jesus veio trazer.

The Kingdom of Christ is made up of many di erent types of people, in many different arenas of life, and in many different life-stages. As Christians, we are called to make disciples. If you are married with children or single without children, your calling is still the same-to glorify God and enjoy him forever. How can the church continue to champion singles, and how should we view singleness in the life of the church?

You may think you are a Christian-but are you sure? Jesus' call to follow him is more than an invitation to pray a prayer. It is a summons to lose your life and find new life and ultimate joy in him. In David Platt's book Follow Me: A Call to Die. A Call to Live he asks the question, "e;What did Jesus really mean when he said, 'Follow me'?"e; What if we really listened to Jesus' words and heard what he is saying? When people truly engage with Jesus' personal invitation to follow him, everything changes, for he is worthy of all our trust and affections.What Did Jesus Really Mean When He Said Follow Me? builds on the message of Follow Me to motivate readers to experience our grand purpose: to exalt the glory of God by spreading Christ's gospel-to make disciples who are making disciples. This booklet is a great resource to share with others to discuss crucial faith questions in a personal and grace-filled manner and engage others to be disciple-makers in obedience to Jesus. Ideal for small groups or personal and mass evangelism.
