This one was emotional for Pastor Tullian as he talked about his dad (who was amazing) and his three kids (who are amazing).
Tullian also read something he's never read out loud before because he's never been able to do it. But we think this message will encourage you greatly. Let us know in the comment section how it impacted you.
Love you all!
Everlastingly Gracious | "Knowing Grace, Part 06"
Psalm 18:16-19
When life breaks, that’s when you discover where God is. That is, if you know where to look. We’ve been taught to look up. But if God is with us, then…
It’s been said that grace is like water—it always flows downward and gathers at the bottom of things. And that means that God meets us in the low places. He meets us in the back alleys of our secrets, the dark corners of our regrets, the cracks of our fears. He comes to us in the wreckage of our consequences, in the debris of our repeated failures. We find God in our losses, not outside of them.
We hope this message, “Rock Bottom Grace”, will be a huge encouragement to you.
2 Corinthians 12:7-10
There are a hundred things you can do to get better, to improve yourself and your life. But there’s not one thing you can do to get better with God, to improve your status with God. No not one.
We hope this message, “Don't Just Do Something, Sit There”, encourages you to relax, to exhale. And… it’s under 30 min!
John 6:28-29

God demands holiness from us. We, however, aren’t very holy. Our “holiness” is half-assed even on our best day. So, we have a problem. What’s the solution?
We think this message, “Grace for the Unholy”, will give you great relief.

Here is the concluding message of Tullian's series “Life Without God”. He entitled this one “Life Without Grace”.
We think it will be life-giving to you!
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
We are all natural born control freaks—maybe more than we realize. Where does that come from? And what can we do about it?
We hope this message, “Out of Control” encourages you and sets you free.
Ecclesiastes 9:11-12
We are all natural born competitors. We compete for approval, affection, pity, respect, etc. What we want is the adoration of someone we esteem. We want to be noticed and loved by someone important, someone impressive. The gospel declares that we have been!
We hope this message encourages you a ton!
Ecclesiastes 4:4, 7-12
This one wasn’t easy for Pastor Tullian. It was a grind to prepare and a grind to preach. It covers some dark terrain. But, as his friend Tim Lett said, “don’t start it if you can’t finish it … don’t bail before the 4th quarter ends … you’ll miss the win. The first part will take you through things you didn’t know you needed to realize and admit … it’ll be hard, but it’s necessary for the progress.”
In the end, you’ll feel relieved. Set free. Encouraged that you’re not alone in this life.ECCLESIASTES 2:12-17
Pastor Tullian had the privilege of preaching at Restored Church in Grove City, Ohio this past weekend where his friend Jeremy Ellis is the pastor. Here is Tullian's message, entitled “Carnage & Grace”.
Pastor Tullian started a new series yesterday. We've been looking forward to this one for weeks. It’s called “Life Without God”.
Tullian titled this first message, “The Search”. We hope it encourages you massively.

Ecclesiastes 1:1-11
Pastor Tullian thinks the church could and should learn a lot from the recovery community.
We hope this message lightens your load a bit.
2 Corinthians 8:1-5
Pastor Tullian has never been a church guy. He's never been a religious guy. He's never fit in with the religious, churchy types. He's always felt like an outsider.
But there’s a place for people like him... people like us.
We hope this message, “The Outsiders”, is a huge encouragement to you.
Luke 15:1-2
Here is the final message in my “Misled” series. I’m sad to see it go. On to the next one.
I hope you enjoy and are massively encouraged by “The Divine Cocktail”.
Matthew 22:34-40
Do we have to prove ourselves to God by our goodness? Does “sinning less” prove our faith? What does real faith look like?
We think this message will relieve you and comfort you.
James 2:14-20
Here is Pastor Tullian's story of being wildly lost, getting found, becoming religious, and then getting saved from religion.
We hope this message, “Hunted by Grace" is a comforting reminder to you that God’s love is not only unconditional, it is a hunting, harassing, hounding kind of love.
Ephesians 1:3-14
The verse, “Without holiness, no one will see God” (Hebrews 12:14) has always seemed daunting, scary even. But, if understood properly, it’s super comforting. In fact, it’s chocked full of good news.
We hope this message encourages you and sets you free, because you will never be more or less holy than you are right now.
Hebrews 12:1-2; 12-14
Pastor Tullian had a lot of fun with this one. “The Good Samaritan” like you’ve never heard it. It’s titled “I’m not The Good Samaritan (and neither are you)”.
We think you’ll be massively relieved!
Luke 10:25-37
Do we have to spend our lives wondering if we’re pleasing God? Obsessed with whether God is pleased with us?
We think you’ll find this message from Pastor Tullian's new series, “Misled", encouraging.
Hebrews 11:6
Pastor Tullian started a new series on Sunday called “Misled". It’s a seven week series where Tullian will cover different passages that have been mistaught and misunderstood and has, as a result, done some real damage to how we understand God and the way he relates to us.
This first one is called “Do Less”.
Here Tullian looks at Matthew 7:21-23 where Jesus says, “There will be many on that last day who cry out ‘Lord, Lord’…and I will say, ‘Depart from me, I never knew you’”. As haunting as that sounds, we think this message will encourage you massively…
This is Pastor Tullian's final message in his “Scandalous Freedom" series. It’s called “Grace Finds You”.
We hope this message and the series as a whole is helpful and encouraging to you!
Galatians 5:1
This one hit differently. Pastor Tullian felt it... we felt it. It’s called “Hyperfree", and we hope it provokes and comforts you in all the right ways…
Galatians 5:16-23
Here is part 7 of Pastor Tullian's series "Scandalous Freedom". In this message Tullian makes the point that the ultimate expression of freedom is loving. Only a truly free person can truly love, and the one who can truly love is the one who is truly free.
We hope this message encourages you a ton…
Galatians 5:1-6
Be blessed with Pastor Tullian's sermon "No Going Back" which is part 06 in Tullian's series "Scandalous Freedom".
Galatians 4:8-12
This is Part 05 in Pastor Tullian's series, "Scandalous Freedom". He titled this particular message “God Doesn’t Keep Score”, because He doesn’t. Thankfully.
I think this message will encourage you…
Galatians 3:1-14
Here is Part 4 of Pastor Tullian's series “Scandalous Freedom".
In this message—“Made Right”— Tullian makes the case that the issue of “justification” is not simply a theological issue but a profoundly functional one as well. If we do NOT believe that God makes us right, we will spend our lives trying to make ourselves right—and that exhausts us and robs us of freedom.
So, we think this message will encourage you and help you to feel lighter.
Galatians 2:15-21
Be blessed with Pastor Tullian Tchividjian's sermon "Favored and Free". This is Part 03 in a series entitled "Scandalous Freedom".
Matthew 16:24
The second message in Pastor Tullian's new series, “Scandalous Freedom” is called “Quit Trying to Please God". Hmmmm…what does that mean? Tullian will explain. And we think it will encourage you.
Be blessed with Pastor Tullian Tchividjian's sermon "The Grace of Freedom"; Part 01 in the series entitled "Scandalous Freedom", a study in the Book of Galatians.

Acts 9:1-19
Yesterday Tullian preached on the famous story of Zacchaeus and his encounter with Jesus. He titled it “The Unpopularity of Grace” because of the way the crowd responded to Jesus’ love toward Zacchaeus.
Grace isn’t expensive. It’s not even cheap. It’s free. A no-strings-attached gift of love. But to practice grace—to love the unlovable, to forgive the unforgivable, to stand with the guilty, to save sinners—well, that might cost you favor and friends. It might just cost you your life.
We hope this encourages you big…

Pastor Tullian started a mini-series yesterday at The Sanctuary Jupiter called “Misfits”.
At the beginning of each year, Tullian takes two weeks to explore who we are and what we’re about as a church. And he opened by saying that when Stacie and he moved here to start The Sanctuary, they didn’t come to start a church for Christians. Nor did they come to start a church for non-Christians. Tullian and Stacie came to start a recovery place for humans—for people well acquainted with failure and loss and disappointment and sadness and guilt and shame and regret and grief and struggle and consequences and death and sorrow and sadness.
In other words, we came to start a Sanctuary for sinners, a meeting house for misfits.
We hope this message encourages you…
Luke 15:1-2
"Pardoned" | Tullian Tchividjian
Exodus 20:1-6
"We wanted this first message of 2023 to be special. And so I went back through all the sermons I’ve preached since we opened The Sanctuary in November 2020 to find one that stood out to me as of primary importance. Now, in a real sense, every sermon I preach is important because every sermon talks about God and our need for God. But there are some that are more foundational than others, and this is one of those sermons. So, you may disagree with me, but the sermon that I've selected is, in my opinion, the most important sermon I’ve preached in two years. I hope God uses it to open your eyes wider than ever to the beauty and brilliance of his grace. Happy New Year!"
- Pastor Tullian Tchividjian
Yesterday, Pastor Tullian concluded a series on the biblical book of Job that he called “Glorious Ruin.” It was a series about the fact that life is hard and pain is real, but grace abounds. It helps us gain a clearer understanding of those intersections in life where our misery and God’s mercy collide.
We're sorry it’s over!
In this concluding message, “An Epilogue on Suffering", Tullian tackled some misconceptions we have about suffering and how Jesus, our wonderful counselor, loves us unconditionally through every valley we go through.
We hope this message encourages you greatly…
Job 42:7-17
Suffering may take the form of tragedy, heartbreak, or addiction. Or it could be something more mundane like resentment, loneliness, or disappointment.
Suffering may be the shocking news of a brain tumor, or it can be something more ordinary like a strained relationship that never seems to get easier
The point is, we all suffer. Pain is unavoidable
And we all know that when it comes to suffering, there’s no such thing as "snapping out of it.”
Job knew this firsthand.
If his story teaches us anything at all, it teaches us that there are no easy answers to suffering. Someone once said that "mercy is the permission to be human." In other words, it’s ok to doubt, to be confused, to wonder—to be completely human. But what will ultimately heal us and help us is what ultimately healed and helped Job: an encounter with the gravity of God’s grace.
We hope this sermon—“Beyond Deserving"—is a huge encouragement to you.
In this message entitled “Grace, not Karma", I ask the question: why do so many Christians believe that God doles out misery in proportion to our sin—that pain is God’s pay back for bad behavior? Why do so many of us assume, like Job’s friends, that the suffering we endure is God’s punishment for what we've done?
And the answer is, because we don’t truly believe that God is a God of grace.
The funny thing is, the sins you think God is still punishing you for, He doesn’t even remember: “For I will forgive their wickedness and remember their sins no more” (Hebrews 8:12). Because of Jesus, “your sin is cast into the sea of God’s forgotten memory.”
Robert Capon said that “If God has announced anything in Jesus, it is that he has pensioned off the bookkeeping department permanently.” Amen!
I hope this message encourages you greatly…
Do you ever feel like God would relieve you of your pain if he really loved you? And because he hasn’t, it makes you feel like he doesn’t care? I have felt that way. I’m sure you have too.
But what if God NOT relieving you of your pain right now is proof that he DOES care? What if God is working for you in ways you can’t see and doing things for you that you can’t feel IN your pain?
I think this message from Job 2:11-13 entitled “God's Dreadful Withdrawal” will encourage you.

Do you ever feel like God has forgotten you? Like he doesn’t care about your trouble? Like he’s against you, not for you?
Have you ever experienced a season in life when God seems distant, detached, indifferent?
If so, then we hope Tullian's message from Psalm 42 entitled "Where is God?" will be a huge encouragement to you.
This past Sunday, Tullian preached on Psalm 23 as a part of his series, “A Song for All Seasons.”
His sermon focused primarily on Psalm 23:6, where David writes: “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
Many Bible scholars and commentators have pointed out that the word “follow” in that verse is a weak translation of what the Hebrew word truly means. It doesn’t simply mean to follow. It means to pursue, to hunt down, to chase. It’s not just that God’s goodness and mercy follow us all of our days, watching us from a safe distance.
No.
They harass us, they dog us, they persistently pursue us.
All the days of our lives, we are pursued by God’s mercy, chased by God’s grace, hunted by God’s goodness—harassed by God’s love.
We hope this message encourages you massively…

This is Part 13 (and the conclusion) in a series of messages from Ephesians Tullian has entitled “But God…”
In this message —"All is Grace”— Tullian goes back to Ephesians 2:1-10 to look at the two words “But God…” in order to show how those words really do capture the main theme of Christianity as a whole.
“But God” suggests that imperfection, unfinishedness, and messiness are God’s cup of tea. Those two words reveal that real Christianity deals in the back-alleys of life, the dark corners of our guilt, the not-enoughness of our insecurities, and the faithlessness of our fears. Those two words make it clear that God doesn’t run away from our sins, he meets us in them.
Robert Capon wrote, “Instead of standing at some antiseptic distance from our agonies and failures, he comes to meet us in the very thick of them.”
We hope this message encourages you!
Here is a Throwback Thursday message Tullian delivered back in October 2019 at Forest Park Church (Elizabeth City, North Carolina) entitled “Embracing Our Weakness”.
We hope it encourages you.
This is Part 12 in a series of messages from Ephesians Tullian has entitled “But God…”
In this message —“The Armor of God”— Tullian looks at Ephesians 6:10-20 and shows how life is characterized by conflict and struggle and how the only resources that can ultimately save us are the resources God has gifted to us.
We hope it encourages you!
This is Part 11 in Tullian's sermon series "But God...", titled "What Makes a Relationship Warm?".

Wait. What?
We think this will encourage you.
Mark 10:17-27
This is Part 10 in a series of messages from Ephesians called “But God…”
In this message —“Because…Therefore”— Tullian looks at Ephesians 5:1-21 and answers this question: "If God has settled all accounts with us so that there is nothing we can do to make Him love us more and nothing we can do to make him love us less, then why does it matter how we live?"
We hope this message is both clarifying and encouraging to you…

Ephesians 4:17-32
We hope it encourages you…
Here is a #ThrowbackThursday message Tullian delivered back in January 2015 entitled “What Should Church Be Like?”
"Six months after I preached this, my life came crashing down. Watching this triggers my memory of what was about to happen—a long journey through the valley of the shadow of death. But here I am, on the other side, still believing in my deepest (albeit, broken) parts the truth of this message. In fact, I believe it even more now."

This is Part 8 of a series of messages in Ephesians entitled “But God…”
Ephesians 4:1-7
We hope it encourages you…
This is Part 7 in a series of messages from Ephesians entitled “But God…”
In this message —“The Deep Love of God”— Tullian looks at Ephesians 3:14-21 where the Apostle Paul prays that we would comprehend the depth and breadth and width and extent of God’s love for us. His prayer is simply that we would “get the gospel”. Or more accurately, that the gospel would “get us.”
We hope it encourages you…

On Friday night, January 28th, The Sanctuary Jupiter hosted a one night event for men called “UNchained.” The purpose of the night was to deliver Good News to men who are exhausted, men who deal with guilt and shame and regret, men who have failed to “be all that they can be.” So I invited my friends Nate Larkin and Samuel Downe to join me in reminding a packed room of men from all over Florida and other parts of the country that God loves and uses broken men who fail because broken men who fail are all that there are. It was a night of honesty, transparency, and robust realness.
It was a night of freedom! Last Friday we released Nate Larkin’s talk—the first of three talks given at the event (if you didn’t watch it, you can here: Next Friday we will release the Q&A with Nate and me that my good friend Samuel Downe moderated. Today we release my talk.
I highly recommend that you take some time and ingest this content. I think you’ll find it liberating and deeply refreshing.

Here is “We Are The Sanctuary” Part 1…
This is the 5th and final part in a series called “Echoes of Hope.”
In this message—“The Child”— we look at Isaiah 9:1-7 and we see how the arrival of Jesus 700 years later is the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy.
Speaking to broken people in a broken world facing dark and hopeless circumstances, Isaiah sees a figure appearing on the horizon who will one day come to set his people free.
From the cries of a baby lying in a manger, God shouts, “I’ve got this.”
It is this crying baby who wipes away our tears as our Wonderful Counselor.
It is this powerless child who conquers despair and dejection as our Mighty God.
It is this needy newborn who is the source of everything we need and long for as our Everlasting Father.
It is this helpless infant who restores okayness to our lives as our Prince of Peace.
I hope this message encourages you greatly and gives you hope beyond this world.

When people ask me what, in my opinion, is the most important single sermon I’ve ever preached, I immediately say, “My message from the Liberate 2015 conference.”
Here it is. I hope it encourages you to see the fact that there is nothing you can do or fail to do that will ever cause God to leave you or forsake you.
Mockingbird Conference 2013 | "The End of To-Do List Christianity" | Tullian Tchividjian
This is Part 10 in a series on the book of Jonah entitled “Surprised by Grace.”
In this message—“God is Not Safe”—we look at Jonah’s response to God’s mercy toward Jonah’s enemies—the Ninevites.
God does something here that Jonah doesn’t want God to do and Jonah is angry about it. In fact, he’s so angry about it that he wants to die.
If we’re honest, we have to admit that our inability to control what God chooses to do or not do scares us sometimes. And it’s this fear that exposes what we’re REALLY trusting in to make us feel safe and secure.
I hope this message encourages you to see and your savor the fact that while God is not safe, he is good.
"The Distinction Between The Law And The Gospel" | Southeastern Seminary 2011 | Tullian Tchividjian
Surprised by Grace, Part 9 | "Blessed are Those Who Know They are Bad" | Tullian Tchividjian
What does it mean to grow as a Christian? What does that look like? In this message Tullian delivered at Liberty University in 2012, he answered that question by stating at the outset that the way many of us have been taught to think about sanctification is actually very unsanctified. In fact, it’s terribly narcissistic.
When the focus of the Christian life becomes the life of the Christian, we get worse, not better. The truth is that when we stop obsessing over our need to improve, THAT’S what it means to improve.
We hope this #ThrowbackThursday message encourages you and sets you free.
This is Part 8 in a series on Jonah entitled “Surprised by Grace.”
In this sermon—“God’s Relentless Pursuit of Rebels"—we see the counterintuitive nature of God’s grace on full display.
Some have argued that the reason God gives Jonah another shot is because Jonah repented and humbled himself in the belly of the fish. They say God is blessing Jonah with another chance as a way of rewarding Jonah’s obedience. But there is plenty of evidence here that Jonah HASN’T repented and that his “obedience” is only skin deep anyway—it is external compliance at best. But even if Jonah had truly repented, making God’s blessing dependent on Jonah’s goodness rather than on God’s goodness diminishes grace into something we deserve, something we can earn with our obedience.
What we see here instead is that God doesn’t come back to Jonah because Jonah deserved it; God came back to Jonah because Jonah didn’t deserve it.
The message of this passage is that God loves us and keeps his promises to us, not because we are good, but because he is good.
This is part 7 of a sermon series on Jonah entitled “Surprised by Grace.”
In this sermon—“Two Ways to Run from God”—we compare the way Jonah ran from God in chapter 1 to the way Jonah is subtly running from God in chapter 2.
In chapter 1 we see Jonah running as far away from God as he can get. God says, “Go to Nineveh” and Jonah unashamedly runs in the opposite direction. At that point, he’s thinking he can get what he wants by being disobedient.
But then we get to chapter 2 and we see that Jonah’s plan of defiance hasn’t worked out the way he hoped it would, so he employs a different strategy: “If I can’t get what I want by being disobedient, then I’ll get what I want by being obedient.”
We do the same thing.
Sometimes we try to get what we want by breaking the rules and sometimes we try to get what we want by keeping them. But whether we are keeping a rule to find happiness or breaking a rule to find happiness, we’re still relying on ourselves.
The truth is that we need to be saved from our weaknesses and our strengths, our badness and our goodness, our disobedience and our obedience, our spiritual disabilities and our spiritual abilities.
The gospel is the good news that God’s massive mercy tracks down runners regardless of which direction they’re running.
This is Part 6 of a series on Jonah entitled “Surprised by Grace.”
In this sermon from 2:1-10–"Negotiating with God"—we look at Jonah’s prayer from the belly of a fish. He’s in a desperate situation and, like most desperate people, he begins to pray. But there are signs in this prayer that Jonah still doesn’t get it. He still thinks that this world is divided into two types of people—good people and bad people—and that he’s one of the good guys. And because he’s one of the good guys, he thinks God owes it to him to save him from this dire situation that he’s in and to give him the life he thinks he’s earned.
Once again, Jonah is running from God. But this time he’s doing it from a stationary place in the dark belly of a fish. And once again God shows that it is impossible to outrun his pursuing affection and that he is a God of great expenditure who spares no expense to rescue fugitives of grace.

Surprised by Grace, Part 5 | "Grace Robbing Idols" | Tullian Tchividjian
Jonah 1:17-2:1-10
This is part 4 of a sermon series on Jonah entitled “Surprised by Grace.”
In this sermon—“The Ultimate Price of Rescue”—we see that Jonah’s self centered flight from God generates an act of divine intervention which produces a momentary act of selflessness on Jonah’s part. It would seem he is getting better, that he’s learned his lesson. But the rest of the book shows Jonah slipping back into self-centeredness.
This pattern mirrors our own lives. One moment we’re doing something selfless and the next moment we are acting despicably selfish. One moment we are giving and the next moment we are taking. As Paul says in Romans 7: “I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?”
What we see in this message is that no matter how often you run or to what dark places your roaming may take you, God NEVER stops coming for you with infinite amounts of gritty grace, muscular mercy, and ferocious forgiveness.
"Jesus + Nothing = Everything", Part 2 | Tullian Tchividjian
Wheaton College, January 19, 2012
This is part 3 of a sermon series on Jonah entitled “Surprised by Grace.”
In this sermon—“Divine Intervention”—we see God go after Jonah in a storm. It seems at first that this storm is divine punishment fueled by God’s anger toward Jonah for running away. But it’s actually divine intervention fueled by God’s affection for Jonah.
When we run, God will send storms—usually in the form of consequences. But each storm God sends is a merciful intrusion designed to wake us up and set us free.
God is in the business of relentlessly pursuing rebels like us and he comes after us not to angrily strip away our freedom, but to affectionately strip away our slavery to self so that we might become truly free.
Jonah 1:4-10
"Jesus + Nothing = Everything", Part 1 | Tullian Tchividjian
Wheaton College, January 18, 2012
This is part 2 of a sermon series on Jonah entitled “Surprised by Grace.”
In this sermon—“Flight From God"—we see that Jonah’s runaway posture is our runaway posture. We runaway from God as quickly as Jonah did—and it always leads us to dark places.
The good news is that God spares no expense in coming after fugitives like us. This is a story that shows how quick we are to run away from God AND how quick God is to run after us. And he does so, not because he needs us, but because we need him.
Here is a throwback message from 2013 delivered at Southeastern Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina: “Grace for the Promiscuous and the Pious.”
Jonah 1:1-3
This past Sunday, Tullian began a new series on the book of Jonah entitled “Surprised by Grace.” We are super excited about it because, believe it or not, the story of Jonah is NOT about a fish swallowing a man 😊
It’s so much more than that.
Jonah is a storied presentation of the gospel.
It’s a story of sin and grace, of desperation and deliverance.
It’s a story that exposes all the things besides God that we build our lives on—a story, in other words, about where we find our identity.
It’s a story about idolatry and the things we actually depend on to make life worth living, to make us feel like we matter.
It’s a story about how quick we are to run from God and how quick God is to run after us.
It’s a story about a God who spares no expense to rescue fugitives of grace and freedom.
So, join us on this journey through Jonah….
We love to believe that we are better than we are, stronger than we are, more spiritual and faithful than we are. We feel more valuable and important if we can convince ourselves of these things.
But this overinflated view of ourselves is actually enslaving.
What happens when the giants we face always seem to win: when we can’t overcome the addiction for more than a week, when we can’t seem to beat our anger problem, when no matter how hard we try, we can’t seem to tame our tongue, or get past our anxiety, or escape our fears?
What happens when no amount of positive thinking can overcome the giant of guilt and shame you feel down deep? Have you ever tried to strong arm yourself out of a depression? Have you ever tried to talk yourself out of your insecurities? How did that work?
Real slavery in the Bible is self-reliance…and the only thing that can set us free from the bondage of relying on ourselves is coming face to face with our own deficiencies.
This means that weakness is your best friend when you know it. After all, true freedom involves two confessions: “I can’t” and "God can."
We hope this message from 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 encourages you.
The Book of Romans has long been recognized as the apostle Paul's Magnum Opus. Everything God wants us to believe about guilt and grace, sin and salvation, failure and forgiveness, can be found in Romans.

Here is Part 2 from Tullian's new series “FOUR.”
Today, Tullian looks at Matthew 5:3-12 and shows how we typically treat the Beatitudes as if they are all about us and the kinds of people we better become if we want to be blessed by God. But to read them that way is to massively misread them.
What the Beatitudes actually teach is that it’s the people who know they’re impure who get God’s grace, not the people who think they’re pure. It’s those who acknowledge their unrighteousness who get God’s righteousness.
What keeps us from knowing God is not the badness we know we have but the goodness we think we have.

Here is Part 08 of “Unmasked”—my series on the Ten Commandments.
This week I covered commandment 7: “You shall not commit adultery.” This commandment is meant to expose our unfaithfulness—the fact that we are all adulterers. God has faithfully wedded himself to us and we can’t stop sleeping around. Everytime we sin in thought, word, or deed, we are cheating on God. That’s the bad news. The good news is that God’s love for us is not dependent on our faithfulness to him, but Jesus’ faithfulness for us.
I hope this message helps you come to deeper terms with the fact that we all need God’s grace.

Here is Part 07 of “Unmasked”—my series on the Ten Commandments.
This week I covered commandment six: “You shall not murder.” It’s easy for us to think that we aren’t guilty of breaking this commandment until we look at what Jesus said about it in Matthew 5:21-22.
The bottoms line: we are all murderers. But, the good news is that Jesus was killed to pardon killers like you and me.
“By weakness and defeat, He won the victors crown; trod all His foes beneath His feet, by being trodden down.”
Here is Part 06 of my series on the Ten Commandments—“Unmasked.”
In this sermon, I cover the 5th commandment: “Honor your father and your mother...” And the point that I drive home is that this commandment has little to do with whether our parents—or anyone else for that matter—is deserving of honor. This commandment is intended to expose OUR propensity to honor ourselves. In other words, the command to give honor is meant to unmask the fact that we are all addicted to getting honor.
I hope this message does for you what the Ten Commandments are designed to do: expose the fact that NONE of us are NOT in need of grace...
Here is part 5 of my series on the Ten Commandments entitled “Unmasked.”
I cover the fourth commandment in this sermon: “Remember the sabbath and keep it holy.” Like all the other commandments, this one exposes us—it unmasks the workaholic in all of us.
However much we may complain about how overbooked our schedules are, exhaustion has become a symbol of righteousness. Because our identity is wrongly attached to our productivity, we wear busyness as a badge of honor. So much so that there is a level of shame attached to rest—to take a break is unrighteous.
I hope this message is encouraging and helpful to you...
What does it mean to “take the Lord’s name in vain?” It means more than you may think.
Listen...
I’m three weeks into my new series on the 10 Commandments entitled “Unmasked.” This is quickly becoming my favorite series of sermons that I’ve ever preached.

Here is Part 2 of my new series on the 10 Commandments entitled “Unmasked.”
I looked at the first commandment, “You shall have no other God’s before me.” Believe it or not, even the most saintly among us violate this commandment daily. But Jesus never did. And his perfect keeping of this commandment is credited to us.
Take a listen...
I recently started a new sermon series on the Ten Commandments entitled “Unmasked.” I’m super excited about this series.
