John Piper Sermons

Missions is a summons to pursue joy. Trials will come, but your joy in Jesus will outweigh any sacrifice.

The Bible is our God-given kindling for igniting the flames of faith.

Prayer opens our eyes to our weakness, but also draws us near to the one who is more than strong enough to help.

Marriage is a mystery. It contains and conceals a meaning far greater than what we see on the surface.

How you use your money reveals the true desires of your heart.

We will glorify God and love people better when we serve out of joy instead of duty.

Worship is the melody of your heart as it repents of sin, delights in grace, and thirsts for more and more of Christ.

You are converted to Christ when Jesus becomes for you a treasure chest of holy joy.

God enjoys eternal happiness in himself, and he delights in satisfying his people with the overflow of that abundant joy.

There are at least four reasons for why God has given work to mankind.

The mindset of the new creation does not just agree that Christ died for sinners; it glories in the cross.

When you get your paycheck, do you look to the Spirit for how to use this money for God's kingdom?

If we really care about a person's ultimate welfare, we will confront them with their sin as well as comfort them in their trouble.

People who bear the fruit of the Spirit know they are worthy only of condemnation. They know that the only pay they can earn is the wrath of God.

A Christian is not a person who experiences zero bad desires. A Christian is a person who is at war with every distorted desire by the power of the Spirit.

Freedom flows forth in love just as surely as a bubbling spring flows forth in a mountain stream.

Being a loving person is absolutely essential to being saved, because the faith which saves by its very essence works through love.

Your enjoyment of freedom is much more important to God than many of the day-to-day decisions that fill us with so much concern.

For Paul, the experience of freedom is not icing on the cake of Christianity. Freedom in Christ is Christianity.

We are freed from the burden of the law when we are given the power to fulfill it from within. And that happens when Christ is formed in us.
