John Piper Sermons

Jesus eating with and receiving tax collectors and sinners displays God’s heart to seek and save the lost.

The thought of Jonathan Edwards, demonstrated through a handful of notable works, had a profound impact on John Piper’s life and ministry.

The Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost. He sought them, he received them, he ate with them, and he saved them.

We’ll never love like Jesus loved until we die to ourselves. But in that death, we’ll find more life than we even could have hoped.

You won’t discover freedom by indulging in whatever you want. True liberty begins when we submit our desires to God.

Without seeing Christ, the burden to show him to others becomes slave labor.

God intends for us not merely to do to others as we would have them do to us, but he wants us to feel toward other believers a certain way.

Jesus is calling us not just to do good things for our enemy; he is also calling us to WANT their best.

In this sermon on Matthew 5:43–48, John Piper explains how the Great Commission helps us understand the command to love our enemies. He shows us the basis for the Golden Rule.

Loving God sustains us through all the joy and pain and perplexity and uncertainty of what loving our neighbor should be.

All of Scripture hangs on two great purposes: that God be loved with all our heart, and that we love each other as we love ourselves.

The link between our love and Christ’s is faith and the Spirit. Without the Spirit, we have no faith, and without both, we have no love.

Of all the great things that Easter means, it also means this: it is a mighty "I meant it!" behind Jesus' death.

God might have rescued us, sacrificed for us, forgiven us, and not gone any further. But instead he took us into his family.

God loved us while we were enemies. God sacrificed his Son for us while we were enemies.

The most worthy of living, the least worthy of dying. This is the life Jesus gave for you—that you might live.

If we are to grow in our love to one another, we must first experience Christ’s love as a deep, unshakable love.

God is love. The implications of this for the way we live are big.

Pouring ourselves out for others is the path of greatest satisfaction and joy.

Religious fervor is no substitute for righteous living. Our words and actions must flow from love for God and neighbor.
