0:00.0	You are listening to Radical with David Platt, a weekly podcast with sermons and messages from pastor, author, and teacher David Platt.
0:09.2	If you have a Bible with you, let me encourage you to open with me to the last book, Book of Revelation.
0:17.2	If you don't have a Bible with you, let me encourage you maybe to find someone around you who does.
0:21.4	Maybe they would be willing to share. I want you to be able to look along.
0:25.8	As we study God's Word together, there's a lot of people in our culture today talking about Jesus.
0:34.6	Many of you know that the Da Vinci Code is a book that has ideas about Jesus in there.
0:40.1	It's sold millions and millions of copies about to be released in a new movie.

1:24.3	And imagine somebody who wasn't here at church today, come up to you and asked and said, how was the service? I was, I was church this morning.
1:31.7	You began to tell them about the music and how great the music was and all the songs. And you
1:36.1	begin to tell about the cool drawings and how incredible that was. And then just imagine,
1:40.9	you get to the point and you're saying,'s this guy named david plat preaching and at that
