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.
1When 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.
Marshall Segal | When our Bible meditation feels more like a job than a joy, these five short prayers can take us beyond discipline into delight.
Why did God set his saving love on his people before the foundation of the world? So that we might praise the glory of his sovereign grace.
David Mathis | Did Jesus endure the cross for his joy or despite it? The answer takes us to the heart of Jesus’s unusually human joy, and ours.
It’s one thing to know God is sovereign; it’s another to know just how far his sovereignty extends and the purposes for which he wields it.
David Mathis | At the end of his Gospel, John gives us a grand finale of the mercy, wisdom, greatness, and never-ending glory of Jesus Christ.
The story of Jesus and Thomas assures us that Jesus really rose bodily, that his patience surpasses our indwelling sin, and that we need not see to believe.
David Mathis | Where do we turn when the ground beneath our feet seems to buckle and shift? Psalm 46 offers a vision of God to keep us through any crisis.
How can we be set free from selfishness so that, at any earthly cost to ourselves, we will love other people in a way that makes Christ look great?
Tony Reinke | In the age of artificial intelligence, do we still need preachers? Answering that question well takes us to the heart of God-glorifying preaching.
A camel cannot pass through the eye of a needle, nor can we turn our own hearts from loving money to loving Jesus. But what is impossible with man is possible with God.
There is a way to see truth without seeing it — to hear without hearing. For all who listen to sermons, the words of Jesus stand: Take care how you hear.
Though fraught with challenges and temptations to lose heart, preaching the word of God is a glorious privilege. John Piper gives ten reasons why.
God has chosen to bind the fullness of his supernatural effectiveness to the human ministry of the word. So, how might we preach in ways that release his power?

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.

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.
