Desiring God Messages by John Piper Audio

The Father sent the Son to deliver his people, and now he sends his people to deliver the message. As the Son was sent, so now are we.

The book of Ruth demonstrates that God is at work even in the darkest of times, and that he will bring about his ultimate purpose to glorify his grace through Jesus Christ.

Jesus calls his people to the same humble service he so beautifully displayed in his life and death.

Baptism: Immersion or sprinkling? Infants or adults? Does it matter?

All believers should join a church if possible, because the local church is an expression of the universal church.

When we accept and welcome one other across barriers and boundaries as Christ did for us, not only is God glorified, but our joy in him expands in the joy of others.

God summons us to sing, and in doing so to summon the nations to sing a new song with us.

How should we understand the psalms that call down curses on others?

The threat of hell might scare us toward God, but only a deep love for Jesus can take us all the way home to him.

Death and decay won’t have the last word. One day soon, God will release all of creation from corruption.

Perhaps nothing is more effective in helping children fear God than verbally blessing the Lord in their presence.

Brokenhearted joy colors the entire Christian life. We might struggle along, but in the end, we have ultimate victory in Jesus.

When we think and feel with the Psalms, we learn how to fight for hope in the most difficult times.

William Tyndale died to both laziness and self-confidence in his driving passion to see the Scriptures translated into the common language of the people.

Christians have tremendous hope in this life, but that doesn’t mean living for Christ is easy. We must take up the sword of the Spirit and fight for faith every day.

The Psalms instruct our minds and our hearts. They combine deep doctrine with full emotion.

Jesus faced death, died, and transformed it forever so that we can face death with confidence and hope — not fear.

Old, young, or in-between, you can change the world for Jesus.

Our life and ministry should reflect Jesus’s own and have a radical, risk-taking, sacrificial flavor.

Sacrificial obedience can only be empowered and sustained by a view of the surpassingly great value of Christ over all things.

10 practical encouragments to evangelize.

For those who are in Christ Jesus, there is no divine punishment in suffering, only purification; even death Itself will serve the good of God’s people.

Our greatest treasure in life is Jesus himself. When we value him above anything else, we can face anything that comes our way.

When God gives new birth, he does so through us speaking his word, the gospel.

The unwasted life is a life lived for the purpose of displaying the worth of Jesus Christ for others to see and cherish.

If God is magnified in our showing that he is valuable by treasuring him above all things — if that’s what the unwasted life is — then something has to happen to us, because we don’t do that by nature.

Jesus will always be our shepherd and we will always get the incomparable joy of being his sheep.

By nature, those who are born again love others like God who gave his Son for them.

Being born again doesn't mean being sinless. It means coming to Jesus as your advocate.

Faith must come first and be the root of love. Otherwise, love will be destroyed.

What has driven and shaped John Piper’s ministry over the years? Here are sixteen core convictions.

Newborn believers obey God's commandments, knowing that even when they fail they will never ultimately fall away.

The Gospel is news and we are born again by believing that it is true and embracing it.

Our believing does not cause new birth. The new birth causes our belief.

New birth is God's kindness, philanthropy, and mercy to us. It has nothing to do with even our best deeds.

How is abortion similar to the child-sacrificing in the Old Testament?

What's the difference between necessary judgments of probability and sinful prejudice?

The new birth does not give us a mere temporary resuscitation. It gives indestructible, imperishable life.

Our souls need Scripture just like our bodies need oxygen: moment by moment, every day. If we learn to live apart from it, we will surely die.

When we pray, not only does God get more glory, but in his glorification, we get a fuller and lasting joy.

If any human is to be saved from their sin and from the righteous wrath of God, the Son of God had to become human for our regeneration.

Dead men need one thing before anything else can happen: They must be made alive. They must be born again.
