It's one of the darkest and deepest delusions that a human being can buy into - "I can do what's wrong and it won't make a difference."

109. Living With A Preparation Mentality Aug 24, 2020

Your life hasn't worked according to your plan. In fact, last week probably didn't work according to your plan.

In today’s episode we’ll listen to another sermon from Paul on eternity where he opens to the first chapter in 1 Peter to give hope and encouragement even when life doesn't make sense.

108. The Danger Of Eternity Amnesia Aug 20, 2020

Could it be that a church that preaches the sovereignty of God operates out of fear?

104. Love's Model [The Invitation To Love 2] Aug 06, 2020

1 John 4 is arguably the New Testament's most "easy-to-understand" description and application of love. In the second sermon in this three-part sermon series “The Invitation To Love”, Paul Tripp defines love. But you won't find this definition in a dictionary; you find it in a Person.
For the first sermon in this series, check out The Paul Tripp Podcast episode 100.

098. The Gospel, The Church, And Racial Injustice Jul 16, 2020

"A church that does not exist to reclaim heathenism, to fight evil, to destroy error, to put down falsehood, a church that does not exist to take the side of the poor, to denounce injustice and to hold up righteousness is a church that has no right to be.

027. Who Controls Your Imagination? Oct 11, 2019

The ability to imagine is a wonderful thing. God has hardwired us with the capacity to dream. But because of sin, every good thing God has created can be used in a wrong way.

026. Is The Gospel Political? Oct 04, 2019

You live in a world that has gone sexually insane. Have you noticed? As Christians, it's tempting to think that the best way to achieve purity is to block out the outside world.
