Joy in Jesus is an invitation and a privilege. Is it also a duty? John Piper lays out six reasons joy in God is essential to the Christian life.
1When we believe in Jesus, we receive him as living water, bread of life, and all-satisfying treasure. Saving faith is the awakening of joy in Christ.
David walked with God through disasters, diseases, attacks, and his own sins. What pattern of life did he follow to depend on God through it all?
How do Christians respond to God’s fatherly indignation against our sin? The prophet Micah teaches us: Respond with brokenhearted boldness, with contrite courage.
David Mathis | God invites us to quench our thirst by hearing his voice, having his ear, and belonging to his body. So, come stand under the waterfall of his grace.
Cowardice, consumption, and comfort often stand between us and God’s global work. What can set us free to be world Christians?
David Mathis | Does seeking joy in God ruin our love for others? Jesus meant what he said: Remembering God’s radical reward frees us to serve those in need.
David Mathis | As the Son of God, Jesus pursued his joy and God’s glory in an unrepeatable way — but as man, he stands forth as an example for our own pursuit of joy.
David Mathis | Christian, your joy in God shows the kind of God he is: awesome and glorious, happy and holy, beautiful and delightful beyond measure. So, come, eat, drink, and rejoice.
What are the doctrines of grace? Before we wade into the depths of these doctrines, we need to know something of the greatness of God.
David Mathis | Those who cherish God’s majesty become a certain kind of people: a commending, called, candid, conquering, and soon-to-be crowned church.
Marshall Segal | How do mature Christians pray when trouble comes? David teaches us from Psalm 86: “Meet my need.” “Glorify your name.” “Teach me your way.” “Gladden my heart.”
In Jesus Christ, we find a Treasure more precious than everything we have in life and everything we lose in death.
How does the chief end of man — to glorify God by enjoying him forever — shape our approach to classical Christian education?
Marshall Segal | No sin is too great, no place is too far, and no wall is too high to keep us from receiving the living water of Jesus — if only we’ll come to him.
Tony Reinke | No star or ocean, insect or tree, bird or cloud has a voice to speak God’s praise. But when we rejoice in God, we take creation’s worship and put it into words.
As Jesus bleeds in Gethsemane and then submits to arrest, we see that the mission of God triumphs through prayerful suffering, not the self-defending sword.
When Jesus returns in glory, he will stand ashamed of those who were ashamed of him here. But what will it really mean for Jesus to be ashamed?
David Mathis | How might regular exercise serve not just our bodies but our souls, and so make us more ready to honor God by doing good to others?
David Mathis | Our “habits of grace” prime us for witnessing, giving, and serving — and God uses even these outward expressions to give us even more grace.

Great message. I listened with my vanpool today. One of them follows Joel Osteen and she really needed to hear this message.
Glorious Message
What a powerful and very thoughtful sermon from Pastor John today. I hope that I can put into practice even just a fraction of all that he has covered today going forward to the glory of knowing Jesus even deeper than I do today. Thank you.
God Bless Pastor John! His sermons are so uplifting.

Thanks for this. Looking for the full sermon on 'SLEEPING UNDER GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY' preached on 15/06/2018. How can I access this?
John Piper has made a positive impact in my relationship with God more than many others. Thank you for this podcast.
Fantastic sermon!
Extraordinary talk
John Piper was used by God to shape me in so many ways. I am so grateful to God for His work in John and through John. Each sermon is an exegetically thorough, theologically rich, Christ-exalting, God-centered, Bible-saturated work of this man's regenerate heart. I'm sure Piper would join me in saying, "Soli Deo Gloria" -- To God alone be all glory.
John Piper's ministry has reached hundreds of thousands of young people. Piper's grasp of scripture, his deep passion for God and love for the younger generation makes his podcasts among the best out there. The biblical messages from his conferences and church stand in stark contrast to much of what is floating around the web in the name of Jesus.
