001. [Revelation 21:1-7] Urban Renewal

June 12, 2023 • 34 mins
You live in a world where things are not the way they're supposed to be. Shalom has been shattered. But there will be a day when Shalom is going to be restored once again. In the meantime, you're called to be active and compassionate ambassadors for Christ wherever you live.

002. [Revelation 18:2-7] Urban Blight

June 12, 2023 • 34 mins
Babylon was a great cultural city, like New York City of today. But in Revelation 18, she has fallen. Self-glory has consumed Babylon and she has become a dwelling place for demons. But just like this great city, we have the capacity for a dangerous self-glory addiction.

003. [Philippians 2:12-16] A Thousand Points of Light

June 12, 2023 • 35 mins
You have been called to shine as lights in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation. But that will never work if you have an unbiblical perspective of ministry. You don't step out of life and into ministry and back into life. Everywhere you go is about representing Christ.

004. [Acts 17:16-34] The Blessings of Being Provoked

June 12, 2023 • 40 mins
In some way this week, you were provoked to anger. What provoked you? In Acts 17, the Apostle Paul is provoked, not by selfish circumstances, but because the city of Athens was full of idols. Are you provoked by the idolatry of your culture? True ministry begins with provoked hearts of the people of God.

005. [Jonah 3:1-4:11] Jonah: The Big Picture

June 12, 2023 • 37 mins
Human beings are interpreters. We don't live life based on the facts of our experience, but based on our interpretation of the facts. That's why the little book of Jonah is so helpful, because in the context of one incident in the life of one man, God reveals to us fundamental realities of a Biblical way of thinking about life.

006. [Jonah 1:1-3] Running from the God of Grace

June 12, 2023 • 28 mins
Don't be so hard on Jonah. Yes, God's calling was clear, and yes, Jonah's act of running away is one of clear disobedience. But there are many times during the week when we run from God.

007. [Jonah 1:4-17] The Anger of the God of Grace

June 12, 2023 • 36 mins
God is angry. But it's not the anger of a vengeful, evil person who's out of control and wants to harm. God is angry, and it's the anger of grace. He will not forsake His holy cause. He will not allow us to be in the way of what He has planned for His universe. In this sermon, Paul David Tripp reveals the beauty of God's anger in the life of Jonah.

008. [Jonah 2:1-10] Responding to the God of Grace

June 12, 2023 • 33 mins
From inside the belly of a fish, Jonah cries out to the Lord. It's a familiar scene in Scripture, but as Paul David Tripp teaches, there is more to this prayer than meets the eye. Like a carefully constructed painting, Jonah's words have several layers that add depth and vitality.

009. [Jonah 3:1-5] The Patience of the God of Grace

June 12, 2023 • 34 mins
The Word of the Lord comes to Jonah a second time, which itself is a revelation of God's character - we serve a God of second chances and fresh starts. But in this sermon, Paul Tripp focuses on Jonah's seemingly impossible call to evangelize Ninevah and what we can learn about sharing the Gospel with others.

010. [Jonah 4:1-4] Disappointment with the God of Grace

June 12, 2023 • 29 mins
We like to beat up on Jonah. He's an easy target with big flaws. But in reality, we're very similar. There are moments where the wisdom of God doesn't seem wise to us. There are moments where the love of God doesn't seem good to us. There are moments where the grace of God doesn't seem right to us. In this sermon, Paul David Tripp warns how we can be prejudiced, legalistic, and self-righteous, just like Jonah.

011. [Jonah 4:5-11] The Vision of the God of Grace

June 12, 2023 • 30 mins
The last seven verses of Jonah reveal why this book is in the Bible. In this closing narrative, something profoundly important is exposed in our hearts. Just like Jonah, we're more happy with our comfort than we are with the Kingdom of God. And just like Jonah, we're more sad at obstacles in the way of our comfort than we are with the brokenness of our world. In the final sermon of this series, Paul David Tripp reveals how the Lord...

012. [James 1:1-4] Why Me? Why Now?

June 12, 2023 • 31 mins
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.

013. [James 1:5-8] Wisdom Is a Person

June 12, 2023 • 32 mins
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.

014. [James 1:9-11] Humble Pride

June 12, 2023 • 24 mins
“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.

015. [James 1:12-15] A Danger to Yourself

June 12, 2023 • 27 mins
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 asks three brutally honest questions - and finds three helpful answers - from the book of James.

017. [James 2:1-13] Rich Man, Poor Man

June 12, 2023 • 35 mins
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.

018. [James 2:14-26] How Can I Be Sure?

June 12, 2023 • 26 mins
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.

019. [James 3:1-12] What It Sounds Like To Be Perfect

June 12, 2023 • 35 mins
It's impossible to think about "street-level Christianity" without considering the words we speak. In this sermon, Paul David Tripp teaches from James 3 to reveal this scary and humbling truth: your words always reveal the true character and condition of your heart.
