Today marks the beginning of a brand-new season of Paul Tripp's 5-Minute Bible Study. Every Monday for the next year, Paul will spend five minutes connecting the transforming power of Scripture in the book of Acts to your everyday life. We began by summarizing every book of the Bible, then spent the following years digging deeply into Psalms, Proverbs, 1 Peter, the Gospel of John, and, most recently, Exodus. Now we're excited to begin our seventh season together in the book of Acts. But before we open to Acts chapter 1, Paul begins at the very end of John's Gospel, because you can't fully understand the beginning of Acts without first understanding the end of the Gospels.

What if the God of the universe doesn’t just tolerate you, but treasures you as his own possession and invites you into his presence?

In this episode, Paul unpacks Exodus 19 and explains how God’s covenant with Israel points forward to believers today. To hear more of these studies, visit PaulTripp.com/Exodus.
