John Piper Sermons

John Piper | The Lord’s Prayer teaches us to go to God for every need, especially our need to hallow him above all things.

John Piper | God won’t ever let you be the ultimate source of your own joy. Only God himself can possibly bear the weight of the happiness he has prepared for you.

Watch Now

Love for people consists in being so satisfied in God that we are willing to lay our loves down to bring them into our joy.

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.

Emotions are essential in the Christian life because Christ is most magnified in us when he is more valuable than anything life can give and death can take away.

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.

Sometimes we experience so much pain and so much confusion, we don’t know what to pray for. But fear not: the Holy Spirit intercedes for his people.

True Christian preaching isn’t a lecture, but an awakening of worship in both the pastor and his people.

The same Spirit who awoke faith in your dead soul is the same Spirit who empowers you to live a holy life. Keep in step with the Spirit, not the flesh.

The cause of orphan care and adoption must be pursued by faith, both in success and suffering.

John Piper | God’s love for his people is so rich and full that they need the Holy Spirit’s help to really feel it.

John Piper | 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.
