Realizing What It Really Means to Follow Jesus || David Platt

Do you know it’s possible to know something about who Jesus is and still not truly be following him? Did you know that you can regularly attend church and desire many of the blessings of God’s salvation and still not be a Christian? In this message from Mark 8:31-38, David Platt points us to the sobering experience of Jesus’ disciples. Even with the recognition that Jesus was the Christ, the Deliverer God had promised, they didn’t yet fully understand the kind of Deliverer they needed. They didn’t realize that following Jesus would mean counting the cost and forsaking temporal comfort and pleasures in this world for the sake of finding greater, eternal pleasures in the life to come. What about you-have you considered what it really means to follow Jesus?

14:15 to 14:38 Amen. All of this message generates an amen, but quickly eliminating false pictures of who Christ is is highly important

May the grace of God through our saviour Jesus Christ fall upon you.

I know in my heart this is the truth..Jesus is Life…we don’t really understand what life really is because our way of thinking has been so perverted by the ways of the so the flesh and the enermy. Cry out for mercy iver our wickedness snd plead the Lords grace for repentance… I feel like my life has broken His heart and brought so much shame etc to His name through my selfishness..declaring to be a Christian but living in denial of who Jesus really is. We are to be sober.. Time is short..This war in Israel is to be a wake up call to all who profess His name.

[@mjm3003]

Repentance is what God wants from us. Just repent and ask forgiveness and sin no more! May God bless you.

He leads the international mission board. I think they have a lot of in-house census’ to determine it. Not being facetious, I hope this is what you were asking.

There is a problem involving this man David Platt. Many of his congregation former members have spoken out regarding the handling of the ministry's finances, and social justice ideology infiltration in his sermons. I hope preachers who get up to speak on a pulpit are aware of the great responsibility and severity of accountability they have with God for themselves and for the people they preach to. Jeremiah 23 gives very solemn warning to those who sadly lead people astray and deceive them. Hope this man David Platt, is not abusing his authority as a preacher of the Word of God. If he is a true servant of God, He should humbly address this. Jeremiah 23:1 “Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” declares the Lord. This verse although from the Old Testament, should be taken seriously even now in the present time, as there are many modern day false teacher and false prophets.

[@DeborahBarnard-ou1rw]

Theirs always someone who doesn’t like you what really should matter instead of listening to gossip listen to the word of God and grow from there!!

[@natg_37]

@@DeborahBarnard-ou1rw you completely missed the comment I posted. Jesus rebuked the scribes and pharisees of their hipocrisies in Matthew 23. If you your self dear Deborah, seem to get upset at preachers being corrected, and rebuked for their messages then please go to the word as well and understand what righteous judgment is and how it is applied when it comes to church practices that go off the rails. If you believe this is gossiping I encourage you to talk to Mr. David Platt in person. We.will all know if he has really donde what he is being rebuked and acussed from as the days pass. The truth is, that the United States has false teachers and false prophets taht are deceiving people with their own interpretations from Scripture. Just as apostle Paul did when he was confronted by false brethren , he did exposed them by name and their actions and deeds against him and against the church divide and to cause harm. If Mrm Platt is a servant of God he should not be hidding from those who just want to hear the truth.

[@DeborahBarnard-ou1rw]

He is not hiding friend he has sheep to shepherd not wolves to feed.😇

[@donwebb5698]

Ironically I used to follow this man. That is until he started "repenting of his white privilege." Really thought he was smarter than that.

[@joenelson5819]

Watching this right before elections😂America is doomed but it’s God’s plan:)

You people say so nice things, but why kill innocent animals for food, when there is sufficient grains milk fruits....

[@CameronLane-ex7mc]

You say innocent animals like some animals arent.

The Bible tells us very clearly we are able to eat meat. The word of God puts no such restrictions upon us. We're not giving in to your restrictions. Only Gods restrictions matter not mans
