John Piper Sermons

Jesus’s supreme authority empowers his Great Commission. We go, teach, and teach others to teach in the confidence that Jesus himself is with us.

Central to biblical Christianity is the pursuit of our joy in God. John Piper expresses fifteen hopes for the future of maximizing our joy in God.

God’s volcanic passion for his own glory erupts in overflowing delight for his Son and unceasing joy for his children who share in God’s own glorious bliss.

In all true Bible reading, we think and God gives. We work hard to comprehend the authors’ intended meaning while we simultaneously rely on God to help us understand.

Whenever we read the Bible, we depend on God’s supernatural power to illumine the words, sentences, and paragraphs with his glory.

The Bible is indispensable to the Christian life. Without the written word, we simply could not know the Incarnate Word.

Christians embrace both the New Testament and the Old because every single page of the Scriptures points to Jesus who fulfills them.

God is the one being in the universe for whom self-exaltation is not the act of a needy ego, but an act of infinite giving.

Christians can show the world the hope they have within through joyful, humble willingness to suffer wrong and serve, rather than return evil for evil.

God supplies the sustaining grace we need to love others well as we seriously pursue our joy in him.

God created the world, and sustains it every second, to show the worth of his Son’s redeeming work.

God is glorified when Christians humble themselves openly as people who are not ashamed to beg for help.

Christ’s righteousness imputed to sinners through faith undergirds the whole of the Christian faith.

Humble unity in the gospel beautifully displays to a watching world that Jesus is more satisfying than getting your own way.

God’s pursuit of his own glory opens the door to a feast of beauty and truth that satisfies the human soul forever.

God doesn’t merely give us arguments for his love, but he gives us a real, authentic experience of his love!

You don’t need complicated arguments to know the Bible is true. You can see the Glory for yourself.

Where will we find the emotional power to keep us from returning evil for evil? Not in vague notions of grace, but by trusting God’s specific promises.

I want to help parents (and leaders of children’s ministries) see how the Bible shows itself to be true — and how to communicate this vital truth to our children.

For Martin Luther, the issue of man’s bondage to sin, and moral inability to believe or obey, was the root issue of the Reformation — and the lynchpin of Protestantism.
