John Piper Sermons

The great word of the resurrection is OPEN! Therefore write in capital letters over every closed door in your life, OPEN!

An allegory of a man in a prison called “conviction” and how he got out.

God is the Giver, not Taker, on both sides of our giving.

We boast in ourselves because we are selfish and don't believe all things are ours in Christ.

Let us be vigilant to keep Christ as the foundation of our church.

It's the absence of the centrality of the biblical God in all of life that is leading to the collapse of our civilization.

The Sunday sermon isn’t just another lecture, but a Spirit-empowered, Scripture-saturated heralding of good news to God’s people.

God’s passion for his glory and our longing to be satisfied are not in final conflict only because God displayed his righteousness in the cross of Christ.

Biblically balanced pastoral ministry requires the joyful gravity and brokenhearted gladness, especially in the pulpit.

The goal of preaching is to glorify God in glad submission to his authority.

There is a group of people whom Paul calls not spiritual and not natural, but "fleshly," or "babes in Christ."

Without the Spirit, we are so rebellious against the Lord that we cannot recognize the truth and beauty of a crucified Christ.

The cross is not a mere event in history; it's a way of life!

God's purpose in creating man and saving sinners is that we might boast in him.

The cross undermines the deepest basis of disunity and lays a new foundation for unity.

The freedom of God in the calling of sinners gives us hope. No one is too bad. No one is too hard. No one is too far gone. God is free.

The prerequisite for divine guidance is not a quest for messages, but a quest for holiness.

Prayer is not a mere devotional prelude in the real business of living, it is the pathway of faith and obedience. There is no other.

God has turned his heart toward you in Jesus Christ. Don't push it away.

When Jesus comes into the world, he comes as a sun.
