John Piper Sermons

In order to preach Christ faithfully we should preach his supremacy theocentrically, preach his love as the gift of himself, preach the cross from eternity to eternity, preach conversion as a miraculous gift, and preach sanctification as an effect of seeing the glory of Christ.

God’s passion for his glory is not egomania but love, and it is manifested in his acts of predestination, creation, incarnation, propitiation, sanctification, and consummation.

The truth that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied with him has profound implications for the life of the church, pastoral ministry, preaching, and the broader evangelical world.

God owns us and has determined what the unwasted life is: living and acting in such a way that displays the supreme value of Christ.

Proclaiming Christ in such a way that people receive him and see him as their supreme treasure can only be done in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Watch Now

Everyone who believes in Jesus is a member of his flock. If you’re his, he’ll keep you safely to the end.

Abundant life is not about having more stuff, but about having Jesus. Only he can save, satisfy, and give life because he is is the way, the truth, and the life.

Watch Now

Hallowing God’s name is a heart action that transforms and shapes every other thing we do, from instituting laws to building cultural institutions.

Sin blinds us all. We can only stumble about in darkness until Jesus takes us by the hand, and leads us into his heavenly light.

Jesus does the very works of God so that all might know that he himself is God.

John Piper | Every sorrow and every time we suffer, there is a divinely designed purpose to display God’s glory and increase our joy.

John Piper | One day your strength will fade and your body will fail, but if you are trusting in Jesus you will never see death.

We are commanded to pursue all-satisfying, never-ending, invincible joy. The place we can find, keep, and share this happiness is only in God.

If God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him, the life we must pursue for the sake of God’s glory and the good of others is the life of maximal joy in God.

How can you enjoy lunch or have sex with your spouse to the glory of God, so that those pleasures do not become supreme but appropriate? What does it mean to lay down your life for your brothers?

People see God’s exaltation and communication of his own glory as a problem, but the Bible doesn’t. The most loving thing God can do is to show us his glory.

Jesus is light and life. Only he can set us free from the chains of sin and death.
