John Piper Sermons

God’s purpose for humanity is to find joy in him. Therefore, you must dedicate your entire life to pursuing maximum happiness, without letting any moment pass by without striving for it, even if it costs you your life.

The word of God shows us the will of God for the church, for the home, for ministry, for manhood and womanhood, for the lost world, and for all of life as a disciple of Christ.

Though God does make much of us in the gospel, the root of all his benefits and salvation toward us is his infinite passion for his own glory.

Attempting to hide the truth for the sake of unity is essentially holding hands in the dark. In this interview, John Piper and Conrad Mbewe discuss the growing divisions in evangelical circles and emphasize why unity in the truth is essential.

Thinking is firewood for burning love for God and others. It’s not the end in itself, but it’s a means to the end: to love God.

Eight suggestions are given for how to persevere in ministry in the midst of sorrow.

We are precious to God — so precious that he will not have us make that preciousness into our god.

Christ is our pardon. Christ is our perfection. Paul and Jesus agreed.

God seeks and is pleased with those who worship him in spirit and in truth — those who have the inner experience of being satisfied with him.

God-glorifying obedience is fruit of being born again, having a total change in our inner reality, believing in Christ, coming to Christ, loving Christ, and rejoicing in Christ as our all-satisfying treasure.

All the demands of the Great Commission flow from the person and work of Christ.

Everything in the universe points to God’s glory. He uses even our greatest sorrows to display his supremacy.

John Piper | Suffering in the path of obedience is something promised to every believer, but we should be patient with those who struggle to grasp God’s sovereignty and goodness in their suffering.

The resurrection of Jesus shows the greatness of God's power toward us now in this life.
