Over the past couple of weeks I have been listening to David Platt, a young pastor from Alabama.  I was introduced to his preaching by one of our Board members.  This is one of the best sermon series I have ever listened to.  Many times it has been difficult to listen to and very convicting.  It has also been encouraging and challenging.  I am sharing the links for this series because this man of God has very effectively communicated my heart and burden for ministry among the poor.  Not that I have arrived, but by His grace I will continue to struggle for the cause of Christ among the lost and the poor.

This is only half of the series.  The first message I listened to was the one about Radical Giving, and the Lord humbled me.  I have listed the preceding messages so that you can listen to them in context.
