Many people God is changing the world by using ordinary people to share the greatest news in all the world,

the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Welcome to the Radical with David Platt podcast.

The latest sermons from teacher, author, and pastor David Platt

delivered weekly. And as always, you can find thousands of more gospel-centered resources at

our website radical dot net.

When today's new sermon from Acts, chapters one and two, David Platt urges us to commit ourselves

by the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit to fulfilling Christ's mission until he returns.

So here's David with a sermon titled The Church, a world-changing movement

from Acts, Chapter 1 and 2.

I want to welcome those of you in Montgomery County and Prince William and Loudon and

nobody from Main Avenue because they are now gathering as a church and

today will be the last day for a variety of people here at Tyson's

because they're going out to be a part of a new church,

City Light in West Falls Church, Annandale.

And I just don't believe it's a coincidence that we would be in Acts Chapter 1 and 2 for our

Bible reading, like the story in the Bible that describes the planting of the first church ever on the exact same week

We just so happened to be celebrating the start of one new church in the district and sending out another new church to start next week in Northern Virginia.

So my art is full today and not just with these new churches starting, but

with some things I want to share at the close of our time that flow from what we're about to read.

So I've spent some recent days and totally unplugged, uninterrupted time with my family, with God, phone off, text off, email off,

just focusing on him and them, and you, and praying for you and for us.
