Welcome to the Paul Tripp podcast, where pastor and best-selling author Paul David Tripp connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.

There are so many valuable lessons to learn when Jesus walks on the sea and calms the storm, but we quickly glaze over the narrative.

In today's episode, we continue our sermon series from the archives, the Gospel According to Mark,

as Paul teaches on the theology of uncomfortable grace, the difference between amazement and faith,

and much more.

Now here's Paul with today's message.

It has been one of the sermons. Now here's Paul with today's message.

It has been wonderful to be with you. It's such a great privilege to be able to teach people who have open hearts, who hunger for the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And what I want to do this morning is get you to think about one particular thing.

If you're God's child, if you've been saved by His grace,

if your sins have been forgiven by his mercy, you have not only

been forgiven and welcomed into a relationship with him, but you've been called to a brand new,

radically different way of living. It's as radical a change as you could ever imagine

possible in the universe. How's that for a statement? You are called to live by this thing called

faith.

Now, can we talk here?

Faith isn't natural for us.

Doubt is natural.

Anxiety is natural.

Looking over the fence and envying somebody else's life is natural.

Hoping your weak will be predictable is natural.
