846. Everyone Speaking All at Once | Paul Tripp's Wednesday's Word

Every sign in the Gospel of John points not just to Jesus’ power, but to his grace, mercy, and the life-transforming truth of who he is.Today, as we continue The Gospel: One Sign at a Time, our year-long study through the Gospel of John, Paul unpacks John 20:30–31, where the apostle reveals his purpose for writing: so that we might believe Jesus is the Christ and find life in his name.For more in-depth Bible studies, visit PaulTripp.com/John.

Are you experiencing grief, trials, or tests that come from the hand of a loving God?In today’s episode, we continue our sermon series from the archives, Elect Exiles, from 1 Peter. In this message, Paul unpacks Peter’s metaphor of metallurgy and explains how, in moments of suffering, we all choose to preach one of two gospels to ourselves: the gospel of temporary self-glory or the gospel of uncomfortable grace.To hear more sermons from Paul, visit PaulTripp.com/Sermons.

“Unless I see... I will never believe.” Much like Thomas, we’ve all wrestled with doubts about God’s existence and the reality of Christ’s resurrection.Today, as we continue The Gospel: One Sign at a Time, our year-long journey through the Gospel of John, Paul unpacks the familiar story of "Doubting Thomas" and reveals that it’s not primarily about Thomas’s doubt, but about Jesus’ gracious response to it.For more in-depth Bible studies, visit PaulTripp.com/John.

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 5:14–16).What does it look like to live as light in your neighborhood, shining the bright truth of Jesus to those living in darkness? In this new episode of The Connecting Podcast, Paul Tripp and Shelby Abbott begin a conversation about evangelism and how we can share the Good News with our non-believing friends, neighbors, family, and coworkers.

Ask Paul Tripp is a weekly podcast resource from Paul Tripp Ministries. Each week, pastor and best-selling author Dr. Paul David Tripp answers your questions about anything and everything, connecting the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life in the process. In this episode, Paul answers this question: "If a client sues my company due to their own mismanagement, is it biblically right to defend ourselves in court, especially when the ordeal is unjust and puts our employees’ livelihoods at risk?"If you have a question you'd like to ask Paul, you can email [email protected] or submit it online at PaulTripp.com/Ask.

On the first day of each month, we release Grace + Knowledge, a more in-depth article from Paul that allows him to expand on biblical truths beyond his weekly Wednesday’s Word.Our prayer is that this resource helps you “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” (2 Peter 3:18).In this month’s Grace + Knowledge, Paul challenges our understanding of “work-life balance” by inviting us to view life through a biblical triad of calling: relationships, work, and God. 

This week, Paul explores the often-overlooked power of our words and how even everyday talk carries significant weight, capable of building up or tearing down relationships. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we’re invited to redeem our speech by aligning it with God’s purpose to bring life.Join us for a weekly narration of Paul Tripp's popular devotional.
