John Piper Sermons

Not only does the gospel grant us the righteousness we need, but it also supplies the power for us to keep fighting sin by faith.

By faith, God gives us the righteousness we don’t deserve. We could never earn it on our own, but Jesus broke sins claim on all who believe.

The glorious hope of the gospel is that God himself supplies the righteousness he demands from us.

All who believe can taste the hope of the gospel. No matter how rough your background God has grace for you in the good news of Jesus.

There’s no other message in the world like the gospel. Other religions may have converts, but there is no true salvation outside the work of Jesus Christ.

The gospel is the greatest news in the world and the most loving truth we can share. We never have to be ashamed of its message.

Grace pays the debt we owe God for stealing his glory. And now we owe the gospel to any who still need God’s grace.

The great aim of our ministry should be the same as Paul’s: to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of God’s glory.

God changes our hearts, sustains in faith, and brings us all the way home, all because of his sovereign, unquenchable commitment to do his covenant people good.

To delight in God is to bring him the glory he deserves. He gets glory; we get satisfaction — all when our joy runs deep in God.

God is no idolater; he lives for the fame of his own name. And the ultimate goal for all God’s people is to glorify him by enjoying him forever.

If you’re a Christian, you have only come to faith because God called you. And if he called you, then you can be sure that he has a very special love for you.

Who we are as Christians is ultimately based not on us, but on the work of another — he who calls us.

Every ounce of grace that enables faith and empowers our obedience comes to us through the finished work of Jesus Christ.

The gospel is not novel or new, but rooted in God’s eternal decree to purchase a people for himself and keep them forever.

You should pursue pleasure in God is because God is breathtaking. That’s a tremendous implication for missions.

John Piper details the personal impact of the Book of Romans in his life and describes how Paul’s apostlic ministry comes from him being bought by Christ, called by Christ, and set apart for the gospel of God.

We advance in holiness and purity not by inundating ourselves with prohibitions, but by directing our hearts toward the great and precious promises of God.

Costly love in the pathway of obedience comes from joy in the future grace we presently behold by faith.

Gratitude isn’t good enough to motivate the Christian life. Faith doesn’t simply look back in thanks; it embraces the future grace of all that Christ promises to be for his people.
