Paul Tripp: Sermon Podcast

Everyone wants to think that they have true faith. No one wants to think that they struggle with faith. But in this sermon on faith and works, Paul David Tripp teaches that those struggles are more subtle and present than we would like to admit.

As followers of the Lord Jesus, Christians are called to love and serve everyone with equal affection. But as Paul David Tripp explains in this sermon, deep in the DNA of every sinner - and every Christian - is a partiality and favoritism and prejudice.

If you had to describe what it means to follow Jesus , what would you say? In this sermon, Paul David Tripp reveals the motivation that should distinguish the Christian life and gives four applications to everyday life.

If you could stand before God and ask, without shame or embarrassment, the difficult questions of life, what questions would you ask? In this sermon, Paul David Tripp ask three brutally honest questions - and finds three helpful answers - from the book of James.

“My richest gain I count but loss and pour contempt on all my pride.” It's so hard for us to keep what is important important in our lives. In this sermon, Paul David Tripp asks where we find our deepest satisfaction in life and how we measure our richness.

Sin reduces every person, including the believer, down to a fool. That's why James says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God." In this sermon, Paul David Tripp gives a scary diagnosis - that we are all dangerously foolish - and a liberating hope - that Wisdom is a Person.

James starts his book off with the phrase, "Count it all joys, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds." James intentionally uses the word "when" and not "if." In this sermon, Paul David Tripp teaches why we suffer and why we hate it.

We love a good heroic story. An unlikely character faces the impossible, overcomes the odds, and saves the day! But the biblical reality is that we're all deeply dependent. In this sermon, Paul David Tripp shows how our weakness is not in the way of what God would do; it’s our delusions of strength that are.

Since the Gospel is true, then let us live like we believe it! Such is the sentence structure employed by the author of Hebrews 10. In this sermon, Paul David Tripp unpacks each of the four uses of "let us" and applies it to everyday life.

"Get your act together and live in a manner worthy of the Gospel." This is, sadly, a style of preaching within the Church. But as Paul David Tripp explains, we have no ability to live up to that high calling on our own. Rather, Christ's grace measures up on our behalf and allows us to live out of the Gospel.

Do you love the Bible? The natural answer for the Christian would be yes, of course. But often times, Christians love the "ideas" presented in the Word of God, as opposed to the Author of the Word. In this second sermon on Isaiah 55, Paul David Tripp teaches how our love for Bible should be centered around our love for the Divine Author.

We are forgetful people - and it's only a short step between forgetfulness and a life that no longer lives for the glory of God. In the first sermon of this two-part series, Paul David Tripp opens up Isaiah 55 and reminds us of five truths that are incredibly important to remember.

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." The confessional theology of the Christian would reject this lie, but the everyday track record might show a different story. In this final sermon from "Living with Eternity in View," Paul David Tripp teaches on the absolutely clear and unavoidable principles of consequence and judgement.

What is truly important to you in this life? You'll be tempted to give a super-spiritual answer of confessional theology. But if you were to examine the mundane moments of your life - what gave you pleasure and what made you angry - what would someone conclude about what's valuable to your heart? In this sermon, Paul David Tripp shows how God invites us to eavesdrop on eternity and rearrange our values for today.

Your life hasn't worked according to your plan. In fact, last week probably didn't work according to your plan. But, you don't need to panic, because your story is being written by One who is wiser and stronger than you. In this sermon, Paul David Tripp opens to the first chapter in 1 Peter to give hope and encouragement even when life doesn't make sense.

Could it be that a church that preaches the sovereignty of God operates out of fear? Or could a person who publicly proclaims the faithfulness of God's grace in their life secretly live in daily fear of the future? In this sermon on Matthew 6, Paul David Tripp teaches that a life driven by earthbound treasure always results in worry, even though God has promised an unshakably secure future.

What would it look like if you lived everyday in light of eternity? If you knew that Heaven was just around the corner, how would that change the way you lived? In this sermon, Paul David Tripp teaches from Matthew 6 to show our obsession with earth-bound treasures and how quickly we forget the heavenly treasures of God.

In this sermon, Paul David Tripp turns to the New Testament to conclude his 14-part series on the life of David. Using Matthew 1:1, Tripp teaches on five unshakeable truths that we can learn from the genealogy of Jesus.
