If you want to grow a church and see the gospel spread, there is no shortage of strategies

being offered today.

But sadly, few of these strategies revolve around the power and authority of God's work.

Welcome to the Radical with David Platt podcast, the latest sermons from teacher, author, and

pastor David Platt delivered weekly.

We're so glad you joined us and also don't forget to check out David's other daily

podcast called Pray the Word where David spends three to five minutes seven days a week working

through a passage as well as helping us pray according

to that passage.

You could find it by searching for Pray the Word or David Platt in iTunes, Google Play, or Stitcher.

Well in today's sermon from 2 Timothy, David Platt challenges us to rely on God's word,

to do God's work.

Not only do we need this life-changing word in our own lives in churches,

but also there's a world out there that has no hope without it.

But here's David with a sermon title, The Word and the World of Second Timothy.

If you have a Bible and I hope you or somebody around you does, you can look on let me invite you to

open with me to 2nd

Timothy chapter 3 and while you're turning there let me just say how honored I am

to be here I am to be here. I am grateful for God's grace in this church and the

leaders of this church even so of whom I've met with this weekend, it is pure joy to open God's

word with you, which I know is the topic of this summer sermon series, the beauty and the value and the centrality and the

supremacy of God's word.
