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

"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.

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

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 i

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 t
