The Paul Tripp Podcast

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 explores how sin corrupts our words and how Christ’s transforming grace can help us communicate in ways that honor God and strengthen relationships.

You can’t celebrate God’s forgiveness on Sunday while refusing to make peace with others the rest of the week. This week on The Connecting Podcast , Paul and Shelby explore how genuine worship must be reflected in our relationships through humility, love, and a commitment to reconciliation.

Welcome to the final session of Paul’s special teaching series, Mercy Triumphs Over Judgmen t, recorded as part of the 20th anniversary celebration of Paul Tripp Ministries. Paul has spent the first three sessions unpacking the breathtaking gospel truth contained in James 2:13: “Mercy triumphs over judgment.” Now, he comes to the final and perhaps most sobering word—“judgment.” What does the Bible mean by judgment, why does it matter, and how does understanding the reality of judgment help us grasp the magnitude of God’s mercy and the hope we have through Jesus Christ?

Welcome back to the second session of Paul’s special teaching series, Mercy Triumphs Over Judgment , recorded for the 20th anniversary of Paul Tripp Ministries.

Now, he turns to the second word in James 2:13: “triumphs.” What does it mean for mercy to triumph, and what does that victory reveal about the character of God, the power of the gospel, and the hope we have in Christ?
