Welcome to the Gospel Coalition podcast, equipping the next generation of believers,

pastors, and church leaders to shape life and ministry around the gospel.

On today's episode, you'll hear a keynote message from David Platt from TGC's

2025 National Conference.

If you have a Bible, and I hope you or somebody around you does that you can look on with,

let me invite you to open with me to Ephesians Chapter 6.

Ephesion 6, I am so thankful to God for the ministry of the gospel coalition in my life,

including the encouragement and example of so many brothers and sisters associated with it.

I really want to serve you, my brothers and sisters, well at the close of this conference, or at any point

somebody might listen to this in the future, and I have a lot of ground to cover and a little

bit of time.

So let me dive in from the start by asking you a question.

How is Satan currently attacking you and others close to you?

Now this question presupposes that Satan is real and that he is currently attacking you and others who are close to you.

All of which I'm going to show you in Ephesians chapter 6 is true.

But I want to give you a moment from the start to consider this question, knowing there

are countless possible answers to it in light of Satan's varied schemes.

If I could put those schemes in general categories, how is Satan most tempting you to sin in your life right now?

And your thoughts, your desires, your words, your actions, how is Satan most enticing your flesh?

What sins are besetting you.

Statistics would say that lust and pornography would be on that list for a large percentage

of people in this room.
