John Piper Sermons

Signs and wonders are not wrong in themselves, but seeking them could be a camouflage for a wayward heart that refuses to receive the quiet sign of Calvary love.

Deep down we know so much truth that we fear and therefore deny.

The Spirit doesn’t work mainly by revealing hidden messages, but by conforming us to the image of Jesus Christ.

Prophecy is prompted and sustained by the Spirit and yet does not carry intrinsic, divine authority.

The spiritual gift of prophecy has not passed away. God uses it for the good of the church until Jesus comes.

James 5 is a rebuke to pastors that never have the faith to heal and churches that don't pray in the spirit of Elijah.

"Gifts of healings" and "workings of miracles" are for the church and the mission of Christ in the world today.

Did the apostles have spiritual gifts that are now obsolete?

The kingdom has come and it has overcome the aimlessness and futility of our lives and given us an awesome reason to live.

The kingdom of God is present and future. There has been fulfillment, but there has not been consummation.

In spite of the terrible external hardships that Brainerd knew, he pressed on and even flourished under his tribulations that led to the kingdom.

Since Jesus has come, God exerts his right to rule in new and powerful ways.

Peaceful, non-violent, ready-to-suffer protest is one way that the truth and beauty of God's kingdom shines in this world.

Satan is not opposed to most ordinary things you do, as long as you do them like the rest of the world.

What is the nature of the kingdom of God? And what is the "power" that the kingdom exerts now in the church?

Are you living in the fullest enjoyment of God's YES to you in Christ Jesus? Have you said yes to all of God's YES to you?

God came to live in a tent so we can watch him more closely. God wants to be seen and known in his Son.

Not everyone is a child of God. Are you?

John the Baptist came so that we might believe in Jesus and have life like we never had it before.

The light shines in the darkness—Jesus shines, the gospel shines, the church shines—and the darkness will not overcome it.
