Deep dives
Committing to Little Moments
In this episode, Paul Tripp emphasizes the importance of living in the little moments of everyday life, rather than relying on single moments of resolve. He highlights that while dramatic moments can change the trajectory of our lives, true transformation happens in the 10,000 unnoticed occasions of our existence. Tripp reminds listeners of the steadfast love and new mercies of God, as expressed in Lamentations 3:22-23 and 2 Corinthians 4:16. He encourages making a New Year's resolution for 2024 to commit to living in the little moments, seeking the small change grace available in Christ.
Sanctification and Growth
Paul Tripp continues by highlighting the process of sanctification and the growth that comes with it. He describes this journey as a gift to celebrate and emphasizes that as we bear the image of God's Son and live in increasing righteousness and holiness, unwholesome things die off and healthy, God-honoring things thrive. Our love for the world weakens while our passion for the Lord grows. Tripp emphasizes that each step of growth shifts the allegiance of our hearts more towards our Redeemer and His kingdom. He concludes with the assurance from Philippians 1:6 that God will bring the good work He began in us to completion.
As we enter a new year, Paul gives us a resolution worth making in 2024.
