John Piper Sermons

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.

All the demands of the Great Commission flow from the person and work of Christ.

John Piper | Everything in the universe points to God’s glory. He uses even our greatest sorrows to display his supremacy.

Suffering in the path of obedience is something promised to every believer, but we should be patient with those who struggle to grasp God’s sovereignty and goodness in their suffering.

The resurrection of Jesus shows the greatness of God's power toward us now in this life.

The death of Christ was planned by the Father and approved by the Son to ransom many people from their sins.

In every stage of parenting, knowing God's mercy gives us brokenhearted boldness—and hope.

The love of God that makes much of us for his glory is a greater love than a love that would only make much of us.

God’s children are immensely precious to him, and he ensures that their preciousness to him does not become their god, but that he is their God.

The word of the cross is sufficient for our issues of ethnic harmony, political schisms, and standing against false doctrine in the church.
