Desiring God Messages by John Piper Audio

We need enduring faith for final salvation, but our perseverance does not rest on our resolve: It rests on God, who keeps his own.

The doctrines of grace raise a host of questions. John Piper addresses warning passages, God’s relationship to the non-elect, the Spirit’s indwelling, and more.

In this life of affliction, suffering, and groaning, Christians always have reason to rejoice in hope of the eternal glory of God.

What made and sustained the friendship between John Piper and John MacArthur? A common taste for the honey of heaven in the word of God and the face of Christ.

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.

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?

John Piper | 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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Though fraught with challenges and temptations to lose heart, preaching the word of God is a glorious privilege. John Piper gives ten reasons why.

No matter how great our sins have been, if we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our heart that God raised him from the dead, we will be saved.

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?

When preachers herald the glory of God from the heart, the pride of man dies, all of life becomes meaningful, and we rejoice like never before.

A church endures in faithfulness only as its leaders and members rejoice in the glory of God, savor the word of God, and treasure the Son of God.

We were made to see and savor, with everlasting satisfaction, the soul-staggering glory of Christ. Only then will our lusts lose their power.

What kept the apostle Paul from losing heart as he suffered for the truth? In 2 Corinthians 4, he gives six remarkable reasons to keep speaking and serving.

When we see the glory of God in his word, we know for sure and we rejoice forever. Glory persuades and pleases, gives certainty and satisfaction.

Chipper churches leave no lasting impression on the world. The greatest gift we have to give is indomitable joy in Jesus in the midst of suffering and sorrow.

However long we serve Christ, we can look back and say, “My King has done me no wrong.” John Piper encourages a friend after four decades in ministry.
