John Piper preaching at Passion 2017

I visited this site because I saw this same conference on TV and I couldn't understand why so many people would get so excited about one of the most boring no Holy Spirt sermon I ever heard.  All of you John Piper fans should get to know Jesus so you can really be excited.

Partially correct!
Let's look thoroughly at Genesis 3 : 4 - 5
Then the serpent said to the woman, "You will not surely die.
"For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

The first sin, was Adam & Eve's disobedience to God's command!
The second sin, was giving into the temptation of the serpents evil lie that they would not die.
The third sin, was believing the lie that it was now their right that their eyes should be opened and they would be as God, knowing good and evil."

Adam & Eve, desired the attractive, delicious fruit, that would make them like God.
Yes, they wanted to be like God, so they disobeyed Him, the Creator of the Universe & the Creator of them!
Because of their PRIDE, they wanted this more than they wanted to love and obey God & from then & until now, everything in our desires has been our will, our desires, our pleasures, apart from God.

Instead of His will be done, it has been our will be done! Our greatest desire & delight should have been in loving, pleasing & obeying Him, where we will get our ultimate fulfillment & joy, in His wonderful fellowship. But instead like Satan's fall, our Pride & our pleasure came from wanting what we wanted apart from Him & not what God wanted!

Of course Satan the deceiver, wanted to lie to us that God was deliberately making us miss out! He is not called the deceiver & the father of lies for nothing!

So instead of the wonderful intimacy of walking & talking with God in the Garden of Eden, we sinned & disobeyed Him. Our pride wanted us to be like God, without our safety of being under His perfect, intimate, protective care !!!

Praise God for Jesus Christ's redeeming sacrifice on the cross in His death & resurrection, to make a way for all humanity, by His forgiveness of our sins & the conquering of permanent death. Everyone who chooses to come back to Him & come under His wonderful Lordship again, can now do so & be with Him in the Glory of the Triune God's

fellowship and the exquisite beauty of Heaven, for all Eternity !!!
Non believers who do want His forgiveness of their sins & to come back under His Lordship & so renew intimate fellowship with Him, will go to Hell, Jesus Christ has personally stated this many times in the Bible !!!

In the name of The Father and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit !!! Amen.

Remember that time that you listened to John Piper without feeling convicted? Yeah me neither.

Thank you, Pastor Piper for this revelation... the ULTIMATE essence of evil in us

Lust of flesh, eyes pride of life in garden. Jesus overcame that in the wilderness and those who are truly in Him overcome. Israel couldn't overcome in 40 years and it is just like our Christian generation. Jesus is not loved more than everything and everybody else. We learn a lot from the story of king Saul who was put away by God, who was replaced by king David. It was the transfer of religious self glorification to relationship Christ exalting. When people live in this type of un-aware and can't turn to God they go to hell when they die.... I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: -Deuteronomy 30:19

“Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord. And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
‭‭Joshua‬ ‭24:14-15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

thank you Lord.

Oh my , feels good to hear a decent sermon. Been listening to Chuck Missler, and all these "christian" talking about the flat earth, Aliens as demons, etc oh and about antartica as some crazy theory....and getting more confused by the minute. I had to come to hear John Piper to feel grounded again. What is up with all these preachers talking about the nephiliam returning to earth .

Can someone please explain what all the random skips are, where the screen turned multi-colored and skips some of the sermon?

I love this message too, and his pastoral passion is so real. But in Hebrews 11:6 which he mentions, without faith it is impossible to please God, he says faith is the embracing of God as supremely valuable. But in Hebrews 11:1, it defines faith as being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Was wondering if this was proper exegesis of the text even though his overall theme was very biblical.

What do you do when you are suffering and no one understands. I'm in a prison inside my mind.

Piper is truly a hedonist. It's all about the "pleasure I get from God"!
Is that why we love and follow Christ, because it gives us pleasure? Or is it because He first loved us who were worthless and vile rebels, and laid down His life to reconcile us to a Holy God?
Piper has built his ministry on God as the means of our pleasure which he rightly calls "Christian Hedonism".
There is a subtle but huge difference between desiring God for who He is, and desiring God for what He gives.
Beware.

John "pipe it up" Piper, one of the best sermons at passion!

His passion is for the gospel. Respect ✊

I wish I could find a transcript of this sermon. Thank you pastor.

One of the greatest preachers of our generation.

I don't want to stoop to the level of some of these comments and it probably won't matter what I say to most people especially since this is just our little Christian platform and hardly anyone visits this page. Come on guys seriously all of these people are preaching the gospel, at least they are trying. Granted John piper is probably a more solid preaching and my favorite of all time! Maybe I need to hear the ones that you guys are complaining about to understand where you are coming from but as for now it just seems like a bunch of holier than thou Christians complaining. Come off your high horse and at least say something positive about the person, be slow to speak and also let Everything that has breath praise the Lord. I hate gimmicks too but I don't see anyone really preaching against them so maybe these people don't know.

Great message yet again! I didn't hear the others at the conference, sounds like they didn't go down to well? Love from England :)

Just what I needed to hear!! Powerful message. God is most glorified when we are most satisfied in Him!!!

Whenever I feel my Christian walk becoming dry and worldly desires creeping into my mind trying to supplant my desire for Jesus, John Piper is one of the first voices I turn to to inspire me to once again fix my eyes on Jesus. Heavenly Father, thank you for rising up such a  Godly man.

This message is so important. It puts a big highlight on the raw, creepy evil of sin. Sin is not just something we do that's bad. Sin is a living organism that spreads, hunts, and kills. When you understand that, you get a deeper love for Jesus.
