You are listening to David Platt Messages, a weekly podcast with sermons and messages from

Pastor, author, and teacher David Platt.

You know, in a land of Xbox and PlayStation, it didn't amazing how all it took was a couple

simple games to put smiles on kids' faces all over this room.

Can you imagine what it would be like to take this kind of scene into a third world setting with kids who eat out of a dump? Can you imagine to look on their

faces? It would be like taking six flags to them. Demonstrating love. Every child in here,

desperately in need of somebody to show the love of God to them. Every child in the world

desperate to see that.

And we've got a savior who demonstrated love as he proclaimed love. He broke bread and then said

he's the bread of life. He talks about water and he gives water. He talks about how he's the living

water. And he demonstrates his love for us and the death he died on the cross.

So what we've got is a picture that we've seen illustrated here of a God who wants to demonstrate love, a people, every single one of us who were able to demonstrate that love.

There wasn't a thing going on here that not one of us could, one of us could not do.

Even if you couldn't hand a baseball to somebody or paint a face

or make a sword balloon that are going to be going all over the place during the rest of our

worship service, you could at least carry a suitcase and take an extra suitcase with

supplies full of things that people in third world countries need.

So we've got a God that desires to demonstrate love.

All of us in this room, his people, able to demonstrate that love.

And he's got a plan to demonstrate that love to the entire world.

And the question I want us to ask this morning is, how is this church doing with his plan?

How is his church doing with this plan?
