John Piper Sermons

Pain and suffering exist to make plain the horrors of the sinful heart and the wonders of the sovereign Christ.

Only a love sustained by genuine joy in God will propel us to take the gospel to the hardest places in the world.

Genuine preaching aims to display the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

In the fight for faith, our minds serve our hearts. Right knowledge fuels true passion.

The ultimate goal of the gospel is that God would be glorified in our enjoyment of him. God’s glory and our satisfaction are not two different ends, they’re one.

True Christian education prepares us to enjoy God and love our neighbors even more than it prepares us for the workforce.

The Christian life is a fight. But our deadliest enemy doesn’t attack us from the outside, but from within.

Real love is the overflow of joy in God that meets the needs of others, especially when it’s costly.

Christians don’t fly solo. Our faith won’t survive unless brothers and sisters in Christ keep us accountable.

Five hundred years ago, the Reformers fought to recover the true gospel. Fifteen hundred years before, God used Paul to pen the Reformers’ central text for justification by faith alone.

Your joy in God multiplies exponentially as you seek the good of your brothers and sisters in the body of Christ.

God has a place for every single one of us in missions. Some of us send, some of us go, but we must all have a gospel ambition.

The only reason any of us know God is because he chose us before the foundation of the world. Nothing we’ve done can earn our way to him — it’s all grace.

At the end of your life, as your energy fades, God will be your refuge and strength.

The very essence of evil is running to anything but God for ultimate joy. Watch, read, or listen to John Piper’s message from Passion 2017.

We are living in the third great era of world history — the era of the Spirit. Our only hope for advancing God’s mission is to lean on the power of his Spirit.

The true grace of God is given to us in Jesus Christ, who is full of grace and truth.

Satan believes the Scriptures are God’s very words. But the difference between us and him is that he doesn’t treasure that truth.

Christians claim their true citizenship in heaven. When we submit to earthly governments, we do so out of allegiance to Christ’s eternal kingdom.

Christian leaders should exude the Bible. They need to test everything they speak and write through the grid of biblical teaching.
