John Piper Sermons

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.

David Mathis | The new covenant is not a renewed, updated, or expanded covenant — it is actually new. And the new-covenant era calls for new-covenant habits.

David Mathis | In this earthly life, Christians do more than wait for heaven. We belong to heaven, find our hope in heaven, and serve the King of heaven.

John Piper | God never tests his saints with ill intent. As the Father of lights, his every test aims at the full and lasting happiness of his children.

David Mathis | In Jesus, we find the complex beauty our hearts were made to behold: meekness and majesty, nearness and transcendence, the might of the Lion and the mercy of the Lamb.

David Mathis | The everyday Christian life is both a gift and a duty. By God’s own indwelling power, we work out what Christ has won.

David Mathis | The Christian life has one final aim: to know and enjoy Jesus. He justified us to know him, we daily press on to know him more, and one day we will know him fully and forever.

Marshall Segal | What counsel does the book of James offer for our relationships? Submit to God, ask for wisdom, temper your words, calm your anger, and embrace godly community.

David Mathis | When we stop and look, we find that we know a lot more about Jesus’s spiritual disciplines than we might think. What can we learn from the prayer life of the Savior?

David Mathis | When we think of spiritual disciplines, we might immediately think of our time alone with God, but the Christian faith is a community project. We all need the body of Christ.

David Mathis | Whomever God justifies, he also sanctifies. What means has he given us to keep growing in holiness?

David Mathis | The safest soul in all the universe is the one that rejoices in the risen Christ. God will never destroy those who delight in his Son.

Tony Reinke | How should Christians orient toward technology? Should we ignore it, embrace it, be suspicious of it, or shun it altogether?

David Mathis | Even among pastor-elder teams, conflict comes. Disagreements are inevitable. How then might we navigate conflict with a constant eye toward God-honoring unity?

Why do God’s people wake up as believers day after day until they die? Because the same word that made us goes on keeping us to the end.

Marshall Segal | How can we make Jesus look good in life and in death? By enjoying him as better than anything life could ever give — and better than anything death could ever take.

David Mathis | Why do so many Christians love the book of Philippians? Among other reasons, because the letter is brief, accessible, memorable, and teeming with joy.

David Mathis | The Father prioritizes the church by choosing her, the Son prioritizes her by purchasing and purifying her, and the Spirit prioritizes her in his power. So, how do we prioritize the church?

John Piper | Does church leadership seem endlessly complicated? Take heart. Christian leaders guide God’s people from where they are to where God wants them to go, using God’s methods.

David Mathis | How did Jesus know Scripture so well? The same way we can today: through patient, prayerful meditation on the word of God.
