Few topics are more off-putting and offensive to non-Christians than the Bible's teaching about hell.

Even some Christians seem to be embarrassed at this topic.

For many people, the idea of eternal punishment seems to be incompatible with the God of love.

However, no one spoke more pointedly and arrestingly about hell than Jesus himself.

And he told us this to warn us.

He wants us to take heed.

In this message, David Black considers Christ's words about hell in Mark 9-42-50.

And he urges us to respond appropriately.

Hell is a dreadful reality that is consistent with God's perfect justice and holiness toward sinners.

At the same time, heaven is a glorious reality for all who turn from their sin and from trusting in themselves to trusting in Jesus.

Because of Christ's sinless life, sin-bearing death and glorious bodily resurrection,

those who trust in Him can know that they have eternal life.

This is the Radical with David Platt podcast.

Here is David with a message titled, Living in Light of Hell.

I'm not sure exactly who to point you to.

I mean, I know in the Connect Center, just ask any Christian that you see around.

Just ask them, are you a Christian?

And if they say yes, be like, can you help me get a Bible?

And if they say no, then bring them to me and or just tell them, that's a problem with you.

So anyway, we want to get you a Bible if you don't have one.

That's the point.

As you're turning, I do want to welcome those of you in other locations, as well as those of you online.
