John Piper Sermons

As once-adoring followers disappear, Jesus’s message becomes clearer and clearer: their resistance itself is in God’s hands.

John Piper | We come to God not because we merely made a decision, but because God has called us, drawn us, and taught us who Jesus really is.

When we come to Jesus, we come voluntarily and freely. And behind that change in us is a decisive work of the Father.

We should hunger and thirst for God and all he has done in Jesus more than anything else in this world.

We should accept our calling wherever God has placed us, including prison, and we should first and foremost be loyal to the Bible, not to a certain theological camp.

Our greatest need is not physical but spiritual. We crave the bread of life more than bread for our stomachs.

Jesus offers himself to us freely as the food that endures to eternal life. No amount of working for God can make you taste him for the feast he is.

Jesus’ presence brings the kind of fullness that produces generosity and risk-taking in his church.

Jesus came not mainly to give bread but to be bread. He became the all-satisfying bread of life when he gave himself up for us.

As Christianity expands in the global South, the Western church must continue to support the developing church by sending and going.

The word of God coming to us in the power of the Holy Spirit is sufficient to supply us with all the resources we need for satisfaction in God and dealing with all kinds of weaknesses in the church.

Preaching Christ must keep the enjoyment of God as the highest good of the gospel and the glory of God as the highest goal of all history.

Since right thinking is meant to fuel right feeling our preaching must not only aim at the head but also the heart.

Right thinking about God is meant to fuel right admiration for God.

The greatest good of the gospel is that every obstacle is removed from us enjoying the presence of God forever, and the only way a person comes to know this is through God’s sovereign grace in the gospel.

Preaching Christ must have the glory of God as its central aim.

John Piper | The implications of Christian Hedonism are breathtaking for the Christian life.

Right thinking about God is essential for right feeling for God and right behavior to God.

The task of the pastor is to love God with all his heart and love his people by having his heart burn with the truth of God’s word and let that passion pervade his preaching and teaching.

Wherever God is revealed in the Old Testament, Jesus is revealed.
