Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net.

Hey, I'm David Platt.

I want to thank you for joining us for Pray the Word,

where we just spend time each day on this podcast,

just reading through a verse or two of Scripture,

talking about what we just read,

and then praying based on God's

word. If you've followed Pray the Word for very long, you know that we usually walk through

like entire books of the Bible over the course of several days or weeks and just choose a

verse or two from each chapter and move from chapter to chapter each day.

But today we're going to start something a little new for a series through First Corinthians,

where we're going to spend an entire week of Pray the Word episodes,

so seven Pray the Word episodes in one chapter.

Part of this is because McLean Bible Church, where I have the privilege

of pastoring in Greater Washington, D.C., we're walking through a sermon series where I'm preaching

from a chapter in 1st Corinthians on one Sunday, and then the rest of that week, each day we're

reading the same chapter. And Instead of kind of reading for

breadth as far as a lot of scripture, reading for depth and really diving deep into that chapter.

So I thought it would be helpful not just for the members of our church who follow along with Pray

the Word, but also for other Pray the Word listeners, even if you're not following along in that kind of

Bible reading plan, which you're obviously welcome to do. We invite you to read along through

1st Corinthians if you'd like. But even if you're not, it'll give an opportunity to really pray
