John Piper Sermons

Like Job’s suffering, our pain is never meaningless. God orchestrates hardship for his eternal purposes.

Jesus bore our ultimate curse and punishment on the cross. Any discipline we now receive is not to punish us, but to spur us on in the path toward Christlikeness.

Good theology matters. But love and grace matter just as much in our application of theology.

God’s sovereignty is a balm of relief for sufferers. He works through every pain for our good.

The goal of the Christian life is to be so satisfied in knowing Jesus that the fleeting pleasures of this world fade away as we give and give and give for God’s glory.

Having great faith doesn’t always equal having great success. Sometimes, our faith enables us to suffer and die well — all for the glory of Christ.

God hasn’t left us to our own devices to battle covetousness and greed. We have the eternal promises of our heavenly Father whose kingdom endures forever and ever.

We will never fully escape temptations toward lust, bitterness, and unforgiveness. But by the power of the Spirit, we can fight their allure with God’s great and precious promises.

We walk by faith not only by looking back to the cross with thankfulness, but by trusting God for a fresh, never-ending supply of grace to empower us for every new day.

Every Christian stands firmly rooted in Christ’s decisive past work. But grounded there, we now look expectantly forward for more and more of God’s grace.

God lives for the fame of his name, and so should we. But we’ll never honor and magnify him as we should unless we first learn that our delight in him glorifies him most.

Jesus has sheep that are not of our fold. He has ransomed a people for himself from every tribe, tongue, and nation.

Jesus Christ is magnified in the life of his people whenever they find their highest joy in him — especially in seasons of suffering and pain.

Both in tenderness and toughness, we must follow the example of Jesus as we upset the world.

When you die, only what you do for Christ will last. You have one life. Don’t waste it on insignificant comforts.

With God all things are possible. That is the basis of our prayer and our giving and our evangelism.
