Help Me Teach the Bible Live: David Platt on Teaching that Ignites a Passion for the World

Why do some churches see people regularly to head to far-off places in the world to share the gospel, and other churches rarely do? How can preachers and teachers faithfully apply the Scriptures in a way that will instill in listeners a burden, desire, and even determination to be a part of what God is doing in the world to call people from every tribe, tongue and nation to himself? In this live one-on-one interview for the Help Me Teach the Bible podcast, Nancy Guthrie asked David Platt to demonstrate from several passages how to apply the Scriptures in a way that fuels global disciple-making.

Thank you for this teaching

I totally agree with David Platt. Unfortunately, too many preachers are without God's unction, passion, and fiery zeal. As I have learned of Leonard Ravenhill, when we preach the word of God, we as ministers have to preach the message from the direct line of God's throne; we must preach in light of the judgement seat. But the tragedy is that God's presence is not sensed from the majority of messages today. We have much information but little unction.

I’m sure David Koresh would have agreed but knowing the Bible doesn’t make people love or live kindly

I wish I could have came! I’m poor and my whole family wouldn’t be able to attend.

Sorry to hear that, Alexis. Thankfully, the conference attendance fees cover the cost of the audio/video production, which allows us to post 100% of the content online for free for those who aren't able to attend: www.thegospelcoalition.org/conference/2019-national-conference/
