John Piper Sermons

The essence of the Fall and of our depraved hearts is the desire not to depend on God.

Since God created everything, we and all our so-called possessions are his to do with as he pleases.

When you value someone because they value God, you are not denying that God is your only good; you are expressing it.

God designs human support to sustain his children's faith and to lighten the burdens they bear in the service of love.

Only worship is an end in itself. Only worship should not be done as a means to achieving something other than itself.

Labor to feast on Jesus. Satisfy yourself with his beauty and his hope-filled fellowship.

Jesus is God's fullest revelation and the source of all the knowledge and power that is good for us to have.

We are afflicted and blessed with a chronic restlessness, an insatiable soul-thirst, for this reason: that we might keep looking until we find Christ.

Never underestimate the power of truth spoken in a single sentence.

Do not fear the work God calls you to. He loves you deeply, knows you fully, and will turn all for your good.

We must honor God above the state. But if the state does not require us to disobey Jesus then we should be subject for the Lord's sake.

How you do your job is an essential part of Christian discipleship.

When God almighty pours himself into an individual, the inner life is changed; it is filled with God.

Why was Jesus' ascension into heaven good news for his disciples?

What is wisdom? And what are some biblical instructions for how I can get it?

A woman who fears the Lord will not run away from God to satisfy her longings and relieve her anxieties. She will stay close to the heart of God and trust in his promises.

You can't bless somebody if you desire their harm. If you are a follower of Jesus, you must desire the good of everyone, no matter what their race or nationality.

Satan wants is to sift out our faith. If he can do it by suffering, he will try that. If he can do it by wealth, he will try that.

God is able to grieve over humanity’s sin and unbelief, therefore it is possible for us to have an anxious state of heart that is not sinful.

If we are going to love like Jesus loved, even in times of great stress and worry, then we must be filled with living hope.
