Secret Church 21 – Session 2: Why the Great Imbalance Matters

About this sermon

What does it look like to have a God-centered perspective of our lives? How do we think about the importance of the Great Imbalance? In this session of Secret Church 21, Pastor David Platt explains how the Great Imbalance in missions funding happened. He helps us to understand that, as Christians, we must see the needs among the nations, barriers to reaching them, and wisely consider what it takes to reach them. He calls us to replace a limited, local focus with an expansive, global vision to reach the nations with the gospel.
