Hey, it's David Platt. As you listen to God's Word today, let it soak in that over 3 billion people have little to know knowledge of the truth about Jesus.

At Radical, we're working to change that by fueling 140 gospel projects in 42 countries next year. Lord willing, these are projects that awaken

believers to God's global mission through biblical content and projects that equip local gospel leaders

to make Jesus known in places where he's least known. And right now through December 31st,

every gift is doubled, up to $750,000 to take the gospel further than it's ever gone. Would you pray about being a part of that?

You can learn more and give at radical.net slash everywhere.

And at the same time, it's so bitter.

Like that word doesn't even capture it for those who don't know Jesus as Savior and Lord of

their lives.

This picture in Revelation that we see painted here is horrifying, it's terrifying,
