John Piper Sermons

John Piper | No other religion or movement on the planet preaches and sings like Christians.

The Son of God brings many sons to glory through his own suffering — and this is more fitting than we can begin to know.

All of history led to and flows from the cross. If the center of reality isn’t the center of our lives, we are tragically off course.

John Piper | Your convictions about the God of Romans 9 will profoundly shape your perspective on worship, prayer, salvation, and even the state of our culture.

Election is God’s business, and our job is to pray like crazy for everybody we love.

When we ask the question of how God is righteous to ordain evil (which we should), we should ask with humble faith — not to find fault with God, but to know and love God.

As we come to realize how big God is, and how horrifying our sin is, we will come to understand election as a grace so impossibly great that we could not imagine it on our own.

Theology is the study of God and his works as revealed in the Bible, and Christians should embrace mystery because we embrace the God that outruns our own reasoning.

God chooses to love and bless and save individuals not based on anything that they do or don’t do. Rather, God chooses based on his own sovereign freedom.

According to Romans 9, God has never defaulted on his promises to the true Israel of God. But who is the true Israel?

The greatest comfort in the world is that God is good and that he never breaks his promises.

According to the book of Romans, the majority of ethnic Israelites have rejected the Messiah even though they have unique privileges. How do we account for both Israel’s privileged status and Israel’s unbelief?

John Piper | The word of God has not failed. Therefore, God’s promises will hold true.

The Bible, as God’s revealed word, offers us the unparalleled opportunity to come face to face with the reality of who he is and glimpse the glory of the King and Creator of the universe, making it more deserving of our efforts than any other book.

Whether you want it to or not, your understanding of the God of Romans 9 will shape everything else in your life.

Knowing the love of God in Christ which not only chose us but purposes all things for our good makes us profoundly free to lay down our lives in sacrificial love for others.

The groaning of creation matches up with our own groaning as we wait until the day when creation will be set free from corruption and share in the glorious inheritance of God’s children.

Our justification is established through Christ’s substitutionary death, which then gives rises to the new life in the Spirit where we are able to fulfill the law of God.
