Open-handed Community
Manage episode 489409880 series 2285970
The world tells us to look out for “number one” and to be true to ourselves. Our own happiness, comfort, and self-fulfillment seems to be the end goal. But that’s not the community of God’s people, the church, should look like. In this message from Romans 12, David Platt shows us that the community of God’s people, the church, should be marked by its others-centeredness. As those who have received God’s mercy, Christians should be eager to show mercy and meet the needs of their brothers and sisters in Christ.
Over 3 billion people have never heard the gospel.
At Radical, we’re fueling 140 gospel projects in 42 countries to change that—equipping local leaders and mobilizing believers where Jesus is least known.
Through December 31, every gift is doubled up to $750,000.
