You could argue that 2 Samuel 7 is one of the most significant chapters in the entire Old Testament. The Lord makes a covenant with King David and promises to establish the throne of his kingdom forever. But this passage has very little to do with David at all. He only becomes great because the Lord has the power to do what He promises. In this inaugural sermon in a series on the life of David, Paul David Tripp reminds us that our hope is in the God who stands behind His promises.

It's easy to smile in the light. But what do you do when the night comes? In this sermon, Paul David Tripp teaches from the honest and provocative Psalm 42. It's a psalm that is meant to alert Christians that the life of faith is not always one of celebration and joy.

A thunderstorm is a "finger glory" - part of creation that points to the glory of the Creator. In Psalm 29, David poetically describes a storm, but he's doing more than just observing the power of nature. David's psalm speaks into a deep struggle of the heart of every person - the war for glory.

Questions. Human beings ask them. And the most insightful people aren't always the ones who have the answers. The most insightful people are the ones who ask the right questions. In Psalm 15, the psalmist asks the right question. It's a question that gets to the heart of the identity of every human being. If you want to know who you are, why you have been given breath, and what in the world your life is about, you need to ask this question.

Psalm 4 is one of the most poignant, dramatic, and sad stories in all of Scripture. King David is on the run and hiding from his son who wants to murder his father. But in the moment of suffering and trial, David doesn't run from God in anger. He runs toward God with worship, trust, and joy.

Are you committed to change? The Bible tells us that God is committed to changing us, and He will send the sometimes painful grace of confession to help us. In this sermon, Paul David Tripp teaches that when we see our sin before us, like King David does in Psalm 51, we are on the road to true heart change.

You live in a fallen world. You're surrounded by influential voices all the time. To live effectively and faithfully, you need to know what the Lord says about the world you're living in. In this sermon, Paul David Tripp extracts six principles for living from the first Psalm.

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.

You have been called dto 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.

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.
