The Paul Tripp Sermon Podcast

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. Preached on September 9, 2007.

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. Preached on March 8, 2009.

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. Preached on March 8, 2009.

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. Preached on March 4, 2007.

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. Preached on March 4, 2007.
