Just as a man and woman are able to reproduce physically as God designed it out of intimacy, we are to spiritually reproduce disciples as we grow in intimacy in relationship with God. He works in us to help us grow and mature so that we can seek out others to be reborn and help them in the growing process.
Welcome to Ask Paul Tripp, a weekly podcast from Paul Tripp Ministries where pastor and best-selling author Dr. Paul David Tripp answers your questions, connecting the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.In today's episode, Paul answers a question about how to apply the message of Awe to real-life struggles—like caring for aging parents, walking with someone battling depression, or supporting those facing serious illness.If you have a question you'd like to ask Paul, you can email ask@paultripp.com or submit it online at PaulTripp.com/Ask.Awe: Why It Matters for Everything We Think, Say, and DoPaulTripp.com/Awe
The Bible tells us that we will face suffering and persecution merely for living godly lives, but that our relationship with God is more valuable than avoiding that suffering. Everyone suffers, but the difference between the world and us is that we have the power of God in us and His presence surrounding us at all times.
As Christians, God makes us a new creation, transforming our minds to be yielded to His ways that are opposite the world's way. Oftentimes, we choose to remain living like chickens even though He has given us wings like eagles. We must change our thinking to live the way He intended for us to live and change the world around us.

The Bible warns us many times about watching the words that come out of our mouths because it indicates what is in our hearts. If the words that we speak are not God-pleasing, Jesus-loving words then we should be asking ourselves where our heart is at and get right with God.
In 2007, Americans underwent 11.7 million cosmetic surgeries—a staggering reminder of our obsession with appearances. But when Samuel went looking for Israel's next king, God reminded him that while people look at the outward appearance, the Lord looks at the heart. And that's a sobering thought, because God sees every sinful, selfish desire that hides there.In today's episode, we continue our sermon series from the archives, David: A Matter of the Heart. In this message, Paul reminds us that we don't have to live in fear of what God sees—because Jesus paid the penalty for our sin-stained hearts and now lives within us to reclaim our worship.To hear more sermons from Paul, visit PaulTripp.com/Sermons.
All knowledge, power, and revelation are entrusted to Christ. Jesus is the sole Mediator. “No one knows the Father except the Son and those he chooses to reveal him to...” The knowledge of God is obtained solely through the Son, and outside of Christ, there is nothing but blindness. Furthermore,the text says, “to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him.” This is a decisive statement of effectual calling. The initiative in salvation lies not in man's will, but in Christ's sovereign will.
Worry and anxiety are things we all feel when faced with a difficult circumstance. When we find ourselves worrying about things, we are not able to trust God in the situation at the same time. We need to go to Him in prayer, release our anxiety, rejoice in His faithfulness and trust Him to take care of the situation.

“I have surely seen the affliction of my people…” (Exodus 3:7).Today, we continue our year-long Bible study in the book of Exodus, The Gospel: One Rescue at a Time. In today's episode, Paul reflects on God's words in Exodus 3 and reminds us that just as God saw, cared for, and rescued Israel from slavery in Egypt, he sees, cares for, and rescues us from the slavery of sin through Jesus Christ.To hear more from this series, visit PaulTripp.com/Exodus.
The Bible says that God has specifically placed those in authority in their positions for His plans and purpose. We must trust that He knows what He's doing, and follow His lead on when and where we need to take a stand.
Whoever you are, wherever you are, I hope you find a home and a place in this glorious conversation here at Reflecting Light. Welcome home. "Perhaps the secret of living well is not having all the answer, but in pursuing unanswerable questions in good company."

After this, the 'Peace be with you' is said, and the Christians embrace one another with the holy kiss. This is a sign of peace; as the lips indicate, let peace be made in your conscience, that is, when your lips draw near to those of your brother, do not let your heart withdraw from his. Hence, these are great and powerful sacraments."

The Temple in Jerusalem as an image of our own soul; it is now the place where God dwells. Yet like those in Jerusalem old old, we divorce ourselves from God through mortal sin and seeking after those things that have nothing to do with the supernatural life. To bring us back into the life of grace, God has sent saints into the world to serve as models of holiness and repentance, including Ss. John Vianney, Lawrence, and Philomena.

As we set aside 21 days to pray and seek God together, we're going to focus on the PRESENCE of God. When we prioritize this time to pray and not just talk to God, but hear from Him too - something significant happens. Let's grow deeper in our relationship with God as we practice the presence of God, personally and corporately.

Sunday 8.17.25 sermon by Influence Church OC
The gospel has never been about arguing people into faith—it's always been about loving them into it. Even when progress feels small or slow, God's love never fails. Paul's witness in Athens and Corinth shows us that nothing is wasted, no one is hopeless, and no situation is beyond the reach of Jesus' love.

The LORD called me from the womb, from the body of my mother he named my name.2 He made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow; in his quiver he hid me away.3 And he said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.”14 But I said, “I have labored in vain; I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely my right is with the LORD, and my recompense with my God.” 5 And now the LORD says, he who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him; and that Israel might be gathered to him— for I am honored in the eyes of the LORD, and my God has become my strength—6 he says: “It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back the preserved of Israel; I will make you as a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.” 7 Thus says the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One, to one deeply despised, abhorred by the nation, the servant of rulers: “Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall prostrate themselves; because of the LORD, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.” The Restoration of Israel 8 Thus says the LORD: “In a time of favor I have answered you; in a day of salvation I have helped you; I will keep you and give you as a covenant to the people, to establish the land, to apportion the desolate heritages,9 saying to the prisoners, ‘Come out,' to those who are in darkness, ‘Appear.'

In our final week of For Every Season, we discover through Psalm 33 why we sing.PSALM 33:1-3Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.1. We sing to GOD because HE told us to sing to Him! New songs come from a fresh awareness of God's grace.Old songs remind us of what has been true for generations. PSALM 33:4-9 2. We sing to God because He has done great things. PSALM 33:10-12 3. We sing because God has chosen us as His Children. PSALM 33:13-17 4. We sing because even though God is all-powerful, His eye is on us. PSALM 33:18-19 5. WE SING BECAUSE HE HAS DELIVERED US FROM DEATH! PSALM 33:20-22 6. WE SING BECAUSE HE LOVES US.

“Welcome back to the Hopeland Church podcast. We're so glad you're tuning in today! ✂️ This is Part 2 of our series In Every Season, and today we're talking about The Season of Pruning. In John 15, Jesus says, ‘I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser… every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.' Pruning isn't punishment—it's preparation. It's God's precise, loving work of removing what hinders us so that His life can flow freely and produce fruit that lasts. Get ready to lean in as we discover how God uses pruning to refine us, grow us, and lead us into His greater purpose.” ______________________________________________________________________________________ NEW HERE?

Discipline is a necessary thing for a parent to inflict on their children so that their children can grow to live in obedience. In the same way, our Heavenly Father disciplines His children so that we can learn obedience to Him and live the life He intends for us to live.
