How do Christians, who have the Bible in their hand and the Holy Spirit in their heart, stray so far from righteous living? In this sermon, Paul Tripp discusses his past anger before unpacking Hebrews 3:12-13, helping us prevent a downward spiritual spiral. Preached on August 31, 2017.

The cross of Jesus Christ is not just for your entry into faith. It's not just for the forgiveness of your sins. It's not just for the eternal salvation in heaven when you die. The cross of Jesus Christ provides you with everything you need for a lifestyle of faith, right here, right now. Preached on March 20, 2011.

"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. Preached on March 6, 2011.

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. Preached on January 16, 2011.

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. Preached on May 9, 2010.

We live in a world that has gone sexually insane. As Christians, we need to revisit God's intention for sex and the way our sin twists something good for evil. In this sermon, Paul David Tripp reveals two commands and four principles that will radically alter our view of sex. Preached on March 7, 2010.

Do you love the Bible? The natural answer for the Christian would be yes, of course. But oftentimes, 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. Preached on January 31, 2010.

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. Preached on January 17, 2010.

What are you hoping for? If what you are hoping for - or hoping in - has disappointed you, it’s because it’s the wrong hope. Inanimate objects, dreams of a change in circumstances or location, or a sinful person has no ability to satisfy our hearts. The Bible says that we have been given hope that will never put us to shame. In this sermon, Paul Tripp explains what it means to have the “eyes of your hearts enlightened” - knowing the hope and glorious inheritance that is available for the saints. Preached on February 10, 2008.

Life after the Fall seemed normal - until you hear the story of Cain and Abel. Why was Abel's sacrifice accepted and Cain's rejected? Why did Cain respond in such a violent way? In this sermon on Genesis 4, Paul Tripp explains the motivation behind our worship and how sin lurks in our hearts, just like it lurked in Cain's. Preached on June 17, 2007.

"Wretched man that I am!" Romans 7 is the Apostle Paul's famous autobiographical narrative of his struggle with sin, and in this sermon, Paul Tripp explains why the Apostle struggled, just like we do every day. Preached on May 27, 2007.

Revelation 5 describes the most raucous worship celebration recorded in Scripture, but why does God include that in His Word? In this sermon, Paul Tripp explains why we have reason to celebrate, and why we don't need to wait until eternity to start celebrating. Preached on May 18, 2008.

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. Preached on September 3, 2011.

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. Preached on September 3, 2011.

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. Preached on September 2, 2011.

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. Preached on September 1, 2011.

What would it look like if you lived every day 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. Preached on September 1, 2011.

Have you ever been tempted to read the final chapter of a book before reading the first page? Or watch a spoiler summary of a movie so you don’t have to view the full drama? The Bible does that with hope - it provides us with the end of the story so that we aren’t waiting in anxious anticipation about whether or not hope will be fulfilled. In this final sermon on hope, Paul Tripp applies the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ and how it practically assures hope for us. Preached on December 27, 2009.
