In a culture that emphasizes individuality and encourages us to think about our own comforts and preferences, the church should stand out.

We have been told to lay aside our own preferences and

to look out for the eternal good of our brothers and sisters in Christ. And that's

The latest sermons from teacher, author, and pastor David Platt delivered weekly.

Let me say that one more time because it's a bold statement.

Our community together in the church, being together as the church is absolutely critical

for any one of us to thrive in our lives.

Let me illustrate this couple ways.
