John Piper Sermons

All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to the Son of God and he declares, “I must bring in my other sheep.” He will do it.

God will glorify his children both spiritually and physically. Nothing can sever his unbreakable chain of salvation.

The basis of our justification is Jesus Christ. He obeyed, even to the point of death, to bring us to God.

Our call, our conversion, our regeneration, and our faith are based on God’s eternal election and predestination — not our self-determination.

God’s call is the only thing powerful enough to pierce our hard hearts. It is the firm foundation of Romans 8:28.

Humbly accept the fact that your true advancement in life depends far more on God's labor than yours.

When the massive weather front of God's love meets the massive weather front of God's power in the heart of a believer, it produces a hurricane of doxology.

God's invitation to the banquet of his eternal joy is sent through the church indiscriminately to all people.

Where the gospel flourishes people share their souls—their joys, guilts, fears, and passions.

Worshiping God is the number one duty of every human being.

Preserve your freedom in Christ! Can you say with Paul, "I will not be enslaved by anything!"?

Our homes and apartments should stand constantly ready for strategic hospitality—a readiness to welcome people who don't ordinarily live there.

What God is after in all his dealings with his children is a brokenhearted joy that trusts like a little child in God and returns good for evil.

It is presumptuous to assume you can counsel God about how to run a more just world.

The suffering of the righteous is not a token of God's enmity but of his love. It is not a punishment of their sins but a refinement of their righteousness.

Why did God prolong Job's suffering? Didn't his initial reaction prove his faith?

Satan’s hand caused the suffering of Job. But in all of his calamities, Job still had reason for reverent worship because God was ultimately at work.

Nothing is more important than having eternal life.

Faith says to every temptation of the world: NO, BE GONE! I know where true satisfaction is to be found.

A life poured out in love for others on the basis of joyful confidence before God yields peace of mind and the hope of a glorious destiny.
