Thank you for this. This jam has been a constant fanning of the flame in my heart and soul that has encouraged me to not go the route of ease, but to go the route of faithful obedience.
Perhaps one of my favorite sermons ever. “The only people who will be any earthly good are those that are so heavenly minded that they are free from this world.” “We treasure our future reward vastly more than anything else.”
>WARNING< this comment is from the mind of a non-religous human being I feel what John is saying about the "stuff" we have in our lives and how we let it dictate how we act and treat others around us is bang on,and this problem is one we need to overcome.I feel that bringing God and christ into the mix is limiting the true power of his words and that it also hinders his ability to make a change.Though I will say this, he is the first preacher of christ that I felt had anything of value to say
its all about money for the secular...but for us...in the light of christ...it is about a new life...a glorious life..in christ...we back our views by the book the truth and its about spreading love, clean love...straight shooting love...so straight its not comprehendible by the worldy...because everything in this world leads to death and evil...but everything in the spirit is light, truth, and joyfulness, and it is eternal
@niinja2 because it is such joy and honor to suffer for him. he suffered so we will be saved from the wrath of god, but that means in this life we have to go through terrible fiery sufferings. Because we love jesus
```PRAY! PRAY!! PRAY!!!``` *Is any among you afflicted? let him pray.* Is any merry? let him sing psalms. James 5:13 KJV *Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.* Matthew 26:41 KJV *Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit.* 1 Thessalonians 5:17-19 KJV *Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;* Ephesians 5:20 KJV *There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.* 1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV *JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD!*
Great sermon. Just discovered John Piper, I had previously lumped him in with the health wealth prosperity crowd. Idk how I got the idea. Great preaching!
he was lumped with Paul Washer at once, but he never struggled with faith alone to salvation, of someone prays and GOD ALMIGHTY YESHUA died a miracle is ok to him and he seems like he doesn't have a theological agenda add though he's is born to push Calvinism, he doesn't do that so he began to stand out for his genuineness and passion. I enjoy listening, but I prefer Andres Bisonni because of THE HOLY SPIRIT gives me warmth as though CHRIST YESHUA GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF is sending him forth, you see a closer ministry since it's a ministry yielded to THE HOLY GHOST, the best ministry given after CHRIST, the ministry of THE HOLY GHOST.
@niinja2 -What I've found to be true in my life is that our greatest need isn't for our circumstances to change, but to actually meet with God and know the hope that is ours. It's something we all have to wrestle with to find, but it's there man.
I don't always agree with John Piper, but the Spirit is all over this message. I know what he's talking about, because I'm no longer welcome in some Sunday schools. The righteous are bold as a lion, the wicked flee when no one's chasing them.
I think a little music is good, but it was little louder than needed in this message... Godly music drives away the demons, so it has its places, it can cut the heart, and draw the soul to weep in recognition of their sinfulness, their brokenness.... all in balance, for the Glory of God alone.
Hey David is a good buddy of mine and hit me with a link... I love what you doing brother. This video was so powerful and real and needs to be heard by every church out there. Keep it up... Be Blessed
@niinja2 Sure, people at school speak all kinds of evil things against me for the sake of Jesus, even one teacher ridicules and laughs at me, I WRESTLE with God in prayer, I lost most of my friends for the sake of Jesus, even my own family members at times rise up against me because of my faith in Jesus, but I take it all with joy, as I said I live in a country where you at this time usually dont get killed for being as christians as in many countries, but I am persuaded it will come
This is a remarkable message! I would enjoy listening to it over and over again! Does anyone know if it's available without the worldly, carnal, angry music in the background?
@niinja2 What I am suffering is not the wrath of God but the birhtsufferings a woman has to go through so she will be joyful when she has the baby, so it is suffering, yet it is joyful, because it is such honor to suffer for jesus, one day he will come back and judge the living and the dead. Pray that God may show you what I am trying to explain to you, it is so great it can't be expressed in words
Gods word says that we are to put off the dead works of sin and sin no more. It says if we sin,not when we sin,but if we sin, God is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins. Mt 5:48 speaks to us from Jesus,and it says that we are to be perfect just as our Father in heaven is perfect. any time we compare our christianity with people,we will live like the scribes and pharisees. Jesus said that unless our righteousness exceeds that of them, that we will not enter into heaven. pure!
@ZombehWolf Your right. "Christianity", the religion, is built on tradition based, empty Dogmas that prey upon people's weaknesses. That's the difference between Followers of Christ, and Christians. True Disciples follow after Jesus through there weakness and there strength. "Christians" seek on those parts of Faith that make them comfortable, and thus there weakness makes them a target for men who would seek to use that for there benefit.
@niinja2 the world hates us because we are not of this world, because god has called us out of it...we are totally different, thats why we suffer. but one day there will be a great judgement and this wicked world will be damned and we will be in glory
@preacher1171 A preacher knows the needs of his congregation, and hopefully receives his message from God and delivers it by the Holy Spirit. You must eliminate sin in your life before you can do good works. Good works are a wrought by God. Part of being a child of God and taking part of his righteousness is a hatred of sin, God despises sin.
@shcottyb90 yeah its all nice and dandy while its in a book, but i would like to meet someone in person who can say he has suffered and it was joyfull.
@QuestionAThousand Yes Paul may have quoted philosophers of old. But that means nothing. He applies them, like you said, to God the Father which ultimately make them true. But only when applied to ultimate truth (something many don't believe). Secondly there is nothing wrong with philosophy. Paul is very philosophical in his writings at times, namely Romans. Many times it is a very relevant way to communicate with his listeners.
i don't understand the thing with the music... why don't u let the word of God speak for itself, because if it is the word of the God of the Bible it WILL make an impact into a man's heart - without music, without picture.... I dnt think it should be promoted as teasers of hollywood movies aiming to impact emotions in humans
I think this a very interesting point you make, however, I do think that any means of getting across the message of God is good. For instance, the Psalms were created to be played with music- to exult the glorious Name of God. I understand your concern, yet I think we, as a church, would do much better just to have a really deep love for God and just ignore the frills.
@Benzkopf dude, do not take this the wrong way and i dont mean it as an insult but i need to know: Have you considered the possibility that people persecute you because of your personality , not your faith? Im not saying this is so, but how do you know?
crazy that they are using this song for this sermon of his... i saw this band recently and the drummer was wearing a shirt that said,"BURN YOUR LOCAL CHURCH." this crazy guy needs to do some research
@niinja2 they would not speak all kinds of evil things against me if I did not believe on the lord Jesus, they would not insult them if I just participated in the sins this world loves, they did not do in the past when I wasnt converted
I understand your concern, and I do believe that it can be bad in some cases. But then question: Why even raise the voice volume in a preaching? Why not keep a straight tone, since the word gets out and speaks for itself? Answer is, you raise the voice to emphasize what you're saying. The same thing with music, you emphasize the message. Music impacts our feelings, and that's just the way God created it to be...we do get emotional, it's natural and God created it to be like that.
joyful embrace of suffering no such thing i mean if i finally met such a person i would believe it is possible and good. Right now i dont believe neither
I literally listen to this almost every day. So Awesome!
Me too
AMEN
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.
Amen
Jesus Christ Jesus Christ I am willing to die for your gospel I can't stay one minute without you Lord expose my sin
Still reigns true today. I think we are seeing a generation coming that is finally getting tired of stuff and turning to Jesus. Amen.
A timeless sermon. With words soo powerful it will change hearts forever!😊
Thank you for this. This jam has been a constant fanning of the flame in my heart and soul that has encouraged me to not go the route of ease, but to go the route of faithful obedience.
Truly Holy Fire!!! Its what I pray for!!! Its is what you should pray for!!!
The choosen
Perhaps one of my favorite sermons ever. “The only people who will be any earthly good are those that are so heavenly minded that they are free from this world.”
“We treasure our future reward vastly more than anything else.”
Jesus is the only one satisfies us and everything we need.
Help us Lord for our fight against the flesh is tough.
crying . I'm holding onto you Lord. the prayer is powerful. God bless. I feel the holy spirit power around me
Still listening to this on 2021
Absolutely fantastic. Painfully truthful and desperately needed. The music is perfect.
It's interesting that you say the music is perfect, I found it distractingly loud.
Love this. Has shaped my views of the things i own and desire. Jesus be our EVERYTHING
Damn true brother piper
May the Holy Spirit shake us from comfortable life.
And may he make us more radical for the Glory of our Christ
amen.
May the praise and glory be unto our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The salts & lights of the world: has this joyful embrace of suffering.
Wow, Glory to God. I am so grateful for this video
Glory to God for this message
I really needed this
Powerful. What a great God. Thank you Jesus Christ.
He is indeed a great God.
amen ..this he teaches is straight from the truth the bible...so straight it is salty...amen
Amen wonderful video.. JESUS is the WAY the TRUTH the LIFE
Great sermon!
For me to live is Christ. To die is gain
a very strong message.
This sermon jam is a great blessing :) thanks for putting this up bro!
That was the second most beautiful prayer ever :)
God Bless You :)

Listen to John Piper, but follow Jesus Christ NOT John Piper!
Just like this one did! Thank you! All praise to God Almighty!
AMAZING message
“Stuff, stuff, stuff is killing us” 🙏🏻🔥
Totally!

Brought me to my knees!

This is Beautiful.
where are you men. we were destined for greatness.
@Benzkopf and may god give me strength to hold fast until the end. Because jesus gave himself for me this is the only answer
Amen i want that for me
thanks for putting this together
one person accidentally pushed thumbs down, its ok, we are a forgiving bunch
I think a little music is good, but it was little louder than needed in this message... Godly music drives away the demons, so it has its places, it can cut the heart, and draw the soul to weep in recognition of their sinfulness, their brokenness.... all in balance, for the Glory of God alone.
Thanks for the awesome awesome vid!!
@coffee4everyoneMD people pray for this man, show him the glory and love of our God
Hey David is a good buddy of mine and hit me with a link... I love what you doing brother. This video was so powerful and real and needs to be heard by every church out there. Keep it up... Be Blessed
salts & lights are joyful embrace of suffering.
I love listening to John Piper preach. This sounds like a great message it is a shame that the music is overbearing. Thank you for posting anyway.
Lets go!!
@niinja2
Sure, people at school speak all kinds of evil things against me for the sake of Jesus, even one teacher ridicules and laughs at me, I WRESTLE with God in prayer, I lost most of my friends for the sake of Jesus, even my own family members at times rise up against me because of my faith in Jesus, but I take it all with joy, as I said
I live in a country where you at this time usually dont get killed for being as christians as in many countries, but I am persuaded it will come
This song is called Three Legged Workhorse
AMEN !
This is a remarkable message! I would enjoy listening to it over and over again! Does anyone know if it's available without the worldly, carnal, angry music in the background?
Paul Osterman how is the music worldly, carnal & angry?
Can I download the audio for this? Thank you for making it. It's very encouraging.
Yeeeeeeesssss lord HALLELUJAH!!!!!
I love the message, but does anyone know the instrumental name? Like the audio in the background.
@niinja2
What I am suffering is not the wrath of God but the birhtsufferings a woman has to go through so she will be joyful when she has the baby, so it is suffering, yet it is joyful, because it is such honor to suffer for jesus, one day he will come back and judge the living and the dead. Pray that God may show you what I am trying to explain to you, it is so great it can't be expressed in words
Does anyone have this speech in its entirety? I would love to hear it all.
Gods word says that we are to put off the dead works of sin and sin no more.
It says if we sin,not when we sin,but if we sin, God is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins.
Mt 5:48 speaks to us from Jesus,and it says that we are to be perfect just as our Father in heaven is perfect.
any time we compare our christianity with people,we will live like the scribes and pharisees.
Jesus said that unless our righteousness exceeds that of them, that we will not enter into heaven.
pure!
Shake the dust... just... shake the dust.
@Benzkopf
I actually think i understand.
Can you tell me please what are fine details of your suffering, how do you suffer exactly?
@ZombehWolf Your right. "Christianity", the religion, is built on tradition based, empty Dogmas that prey upon people's weaknesses. That's the difference between Followers of Christ, and Christians. True Disciples follow after Jesus through there weakness and there strength. "Christians" seek on those parts of Faith that make them comfortable, and thus there weakness makes them a target for men who would seek to use that for there benefit.
Wow is all im gonna say!! Where are these radical christians? Why are we not radical for Christ?
@niinja2 the world hates us because we are not of this world, because god has called us out of it...we are totally different, thats why we suffer. but one day there will be a great judgement and this wicked world will be damned and we will be in glory

yeah its all nice and dandy while its in a book, but i would like to meet someone in person who can say he has suffered and it was joyfull.
AMENNNNNNNN
@Benzkopf
you did not answer my question, is wrath of god suffering?
@Benzkopf why do you suffer for Jesus , didn't he suffer for us so we dont have to?
how exactly do you suffer?
@QuestionAThousand Yes Paul may have quoted philosophers of old. But that means nothing. He applies them, like you said, to God the Father which ultimately make them true. But only when applied to ultimate truth (something many don't believe). Secondly there is nothing wrong with philosophy. Paul is very philosophical in his writings at times, namely Romans.

what's the name of the background song?
Anyone know the name of the song?
What song is this by ''This Will Destroy You?''
i don't understand the thing with the music... why don't u let the word of God speak for itself, because if it is the word of the God of the Bible it WILL make an impact into a man's heart - without music, without picture....
I dnt think it should be promoted as teasers of hollywood movies aiming to impact emotions in humans

I understand your concern, yet I think we, as a church, would do much better just to have a really deep love for God and just ignore the frills.
What is up with the loud music? It is too distracting.
whats the music by the way?
@Benzkopf
dude, do not take this the wrong way and i dont mean it as an insult but i need to know: Have you considered the possibility that people persecute you because of your personality , not your faith? Im not saying this is so, but how do you know?
crazy that they are using this song for this sermon of his... i saw this band recently and the drummer was wearing a shirt that said,"BURN YOUR LOCAL CHURCH." this crazy guy needs to do some research
I really like the preaching except the background must. It is distracting.
@niinja2 they would not speak all kinds of evil things against me if I did not believe on the lord Jesus, they would not insult them if I just participated in the sins this world loves, they did not do in the past when I wasnt converted
it is a beautiful message just the music is annoying
Great prayer and message. Unfortunately the music distracts from this.
@niinja2 I AM joyfully suffering for jesus, and I do not love my life even unto death
@onetruth146 pretty sure the song is quiet by this will destroy you.
I understand your concern, and I do believe that it can be bad in some cases. But then question: Why even raise the voice volume in a preaching? Why not keep a straight tone, since the word gets out and speaks for itself? Answer is, you raise the voice to emphasize what you're saying. The same thing with music, you emphasize the message. Music impacts our feelings, and that's just the way God created it to be...we do get emotional, it's natural and God created it to be like that.
Hard to hear what he is saying over the music.
Way too loud for me as well. Very distracting!
@Benzkopf
wrath of god is suffering? no?
@vladdy3
no that is quoting scripture
I do have to say though, that after watching this video, music was kind of distracting and made me unfocused of what Piper had to say.
who is that man that got killed? i didn't get his name
iasfl steven. he was a boy in the Bible that had gotten killed
Stephen. Read Acts 7:54. Its all in there. I was reading it today. It’s so precious.
joyful embrace of suffering
no such thing
i mean if i finally met such a person i would believe it is possible and good. Right now i dont believe neither
