David Mathis | Do you want God to look good in your life? Then heed his invitation to find your deepest hunger, deepest thirst, and deepest longings satisfied in him.
In a world of many authorities, we magnify the supreme lordship of Christ by the way we submit to the fading structures of this age.
Paul’s Christian life was one of countless dangers, continual sorrows, and constant joy. How is that kind of life possible?
David Mathis | God not only speaks to us — he bends his ear to hear us talk. Through the work of Christ and the help of the Spirit, we have the ear of God.
Marshall Segal | When our souls grow dull to spiritual reality, the character of God is our confidence. He has restored us before; he will revive us again.
By God’s design, truth serves emotion. Thinking serves feeling. The lyrics of our best songs serve the Godward longings of our hearts.
David Mathis | What do soldiers, farmers, athletes, and Christians have in common? We endure, through discomfort, to get the reward.
David Mathis | God invites us not only to trust him, fear him, and obey him, but to enjoy him. For as we do, our happiness is full in him, and his glory is great in us.
Faithful parents and teachers speak to kids on their level, but they also aim to create new concepts, new structures of thought, new ways of viewing reality.
Reformed theology is beautiful because the God of sovereign grace is beautiful. The doctrines are windows — he is the glory.
John Piper | Luther didn’t stand alone 500 years ago. Nor does he stand alone today. We’ve created a 31-day journey to introduce you to the many heroes of the Reformation. Join us at desiringgod.org/stand.
Apart from union with Christ, we would have no access to God’s promises and no reason to rejoice in affliction. But in Christ, every promise of God is Yes.
How can Christians be freed from selfishness so that, at any cost to ourselves, we love others in a way that makes Christ look great? Answer: joy.
The apostle Paul was no stranger to ministry’s many strains. Yet for all his afflictions, he neither lost heart nor tampered with the truth. How?
No one can be neutral about Jesus Christ. Either he will have our heart and soul, our life and obedience — or hell will.
When God makes a promise, he keeps it. And he keeps it through his purposeful, all-wise, absolute sovereignty — through his providence.
God’s will is not simply that we obey God’s will, but that we obey it in a certain way: with all of our might for all of our life.
You don’t have to be Christian to love the story of the Good Samaritan. But applauding Luke’s parable apart from his Gospel contradicts his purpose.
When the Bible speaks of “truth,” it refers ultimately to God himself. Therefore, truth demands more than just our minds — truth will have our whole hearts, now and forever.
David Mathis | Our God isn’t just a speaking God — he’s a listening God. Whether we come to him in secret or side by side, God delights to hear his people pray.

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.
