Luke 17:7-8

What happens when a well-known pastor and best-selling author has his deepest convictions rocked by darkness, suffering, and loss in the world around him? David Platt, lead pastor at McLean Bible Church and founder of Radical Inc., invites you on this five-day reading plan to bring you face to face with the God who wants you to make your life count in a world of urgent spiritual and physical need.

Beliefs Part 2 is the tenth in a series of Plans that help you establish a strong biblical foundation as a follower of Jesus. Most new Christians are not looking for a sugar-coated version of the Bible. They’re looking for truth. In this Plan, we reflect on five biblical beliefs that can create some confusion for Christians. Issues we consider include God's present and coming Kingdom, the sovereignty of God and human freedom, and the relationship between faith and action.

“Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus...” On the way to his execution, Jesus has six encounters between Luke 17-19. As the story unfolds, we see Him define His kingdom and redefine who’s welcome – all while giving us glimpses of His heart, our need, and the simple nature of true faith.

If you are burnt out or opting out, you are missing out. Serving Christ is both a command and a privilege. So why do so many feel discouraged, disappointed, or disengaged in ministry? Find the answers and cultivate a heart that yearns to serve the King. Let His loving example inspire you to serve others—and receive the blessings of following Christ.
