Divine Sovereignty: The Fuel of Death-Defying Missions (Session VI)

Speakers: David Platt Year: 2012 Session: Main Session

A pastor who believes that God is sovereign over all things will lead his people to be a death defying missional people. Our sovereign God holds the destiny of the world in the palm of his hand. Therefore, his shepherds should lead their people to pray confidently, give sacrificially, go intentionally and die willingly for the spread of the gospel message to those who have never heard.
