John Piper | Watch Now

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

John Piper | 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.

John Piper | Psalm 43 demonstrates that joy in God is the ultimate goal of our existence, and it details the steps a person can take when they feel distant from God.

John Piper | Delighting in Christ is not simply a blessing that comes in time, but is the essence of saving faith itself. To enjoy Jesus is to know Jesus.

John Piper | The beauty and attraction of Jesus Christ isn’t just that he is meek or just that he is strong, but that he is meek in his strength and strong in his meekness.
