For those who missed last week (or want to listen again!), here’s a link to download an mp3 of Dr. Paul Tripp’s message Your Walk With God Is A Community Project.

Community is counter-intuitive to Western culture, but mandatory to a life of faith. Yet when most Christians think about growing in their faith, they sometimes leave out one of the most important means that God has provided; our friendships! God unites us to Christ but also places us within a community of faith where we influence one another in profound ways.

In his sermon “Your Walk With God Is A Community Project” Dr. Paul Tripp addresses fundamental issues that will help us grow in grace, wisdom, forgiveness, servant-hood, communication, and conflict. These lifestyle character qualities are essential if marriages, friendships, and churches are going to thrive. 

One thing will be different about this week at Friday Nights in Ferndale: the sermon is audio only. We were not able to get video of this particular sermon, but thought that it was so valuable that we’re going to trust our ears to keep us occupied. We really hope that this week and next week’s teaching will help spur us on to engage in deep, genuine, and biblical community at Friday Nights in Ferndale.

So come join us Friday, January 16th, at 244 Berding Street in Ferndale. Dinner begins at 6:00, teaching begins around 7:00. Childcare will be available. Hope to see you there!

This is a promo video from Dr. Paul Tripp’s message called “Your Walk With God Is  A Community Project.”

God’s grace isn’t always comfortable because he isn’t primarily working on our comfort; he’s working on our character. With violent grace he will crush us because he loves us and is committed to our restoration, deliverance, and refinement. And that is something worth celebrating.

-Paul David Tripp, writing on Psalm 51:8 in his book Whiter Than Snow, pg 35.
