John Piper Sermons

Finishing well in the face of death requires fighting the fight of faith, which takes hold of God’s promises for future grace in the midst of all our temptations and afflictions.

John Piper | Faith, which is the root of all true obedience that glorifies God, is a coming to God to be satisfied with all that he is for us in Jesus, which means that the pursuit of joy in the Christian life is not optional, but essential.

Finishing well will not happen without a fight, and God is the decisive finisher who will powerfully work in us so that he alone gets the glory.

The greatest tragedy our world faces isn’t hunger, poverty, or crime, but blindness to the grace and beauty of Jesus Christ.

God means to get the glory for all things, including the ministry of small groups. We get the gift, the help, and the blessing, but God gets the glory.

Our hardened hearts naturally suppress the truth, but Jesus grants us new hearts to embrace his gospel.

You can escape the wrath of God against sin only when you take refuge in the gospel of his Son.

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.
