John Piper Sermons

Jesus loved Lazarus so much that he allowed him to die. But he also raised Lazarus to life and promises to do the same for all who trust in him.

The way we glorify God is to pursue and live out of superior satisfaction in him at all costs.

Love is the overflow of joy in God that meets the needs of others; therefore, in order to love people we must pursue our deepest joy in God.

God pursues his own praise, which is the greatest act of love not because he won’t be God until he gets it, but because we won’t be happy until we give it.

Showing Christ is a work of love, which will only take place as the overflow of our joy in all that God is for us in Jesus reaching out to meet the needs of others.

God is honored in our affections when our affections are rooted in knowledge of the truth.

In order to preach Christ faithfully we should preach his supremacy theocentrically, preach his love as the gift of himself, preach the cross from eternity to eternity, preach conversion as a miraculous gift, and preach sanctification as an effect of seeing the glory of Christ.

God’s passion for his glory is not egomania but love, and it is manifested in his acts of predestination, creation, incarnation, propitiation, sanctification, and consummation.

The truth that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied with him has profound implications for the life of the church, pastoral ministry, preaching, and the broader evangelical world.

God owns us and has determined what the unwasted life is: living and acting in such a way that displays the supreme value of Christ.

Proclaiming Christ in such a way that people receive him and see him as their supreme treasure can only be done in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Everyone who believes in Jesus is a member of his flock. If you’re his, he’ll keep you safely to the end.

Abundant life is not about having more stuff, but about having Jesus. Only he can save, satisfy, and give life because he is is the way, the truth, and the life.

Hallowing God’s name is a heart action that transforms and shapes every other thing we do, from instituting laws to building cultural institutions.

Sin blinds us all. We can only stumble about in darkness until Jesus takes us by the hand, and leads us into his heavenly light.

Jesus does the very works of God so that all might know that he himself is God.

Every sorrow and every time we suffer, there is a divinely designed purpose to display God’s glory and increase our joy.
