  • Thankful for the Love of God! Why?
    Sunday, November 18, 2001
    John Piper

    And because of the surpassing greatness of the
    revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself,
    there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to
    buffet me - to keep me from exalting myself! Concerning this I
    entreated the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He
    has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is
    perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast
    about my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

  • The Aroma of Christ Among the Nations
    Sunday, October 29, 2006
    John Piper

    When I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, even though a door was opened for me in the Lord, 13 my spirit was not at rest because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I took leave of them and went on to Macedonia. 14 But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. 15 For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, 16 to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life.

  • Treasuring Christ Together: North Campus Expansion, Part 1
    Sunday, April 18, 2004
    John Piper

    We want you to know, brothers,about the grace of God that has
    been given among the churches of Macedonia, 2 for in a severe test
    of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty
    have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part. 3 For they
    gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their
    means, of their own free will, 4 begging us earnestly for the favor
    of taking part in the relief of the saints - 5 and this, not as we
    expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then by

  • Treasuring Christ Together: The North Campus Extension, Part 2
    Sunday, April 25, 2004
    John Piper

    Now it is superfluous for me to write to you about the ministry
    for the saints, 2 for I know your readiness, of which I boast about
    you to the people of Macedonia, saying that Achaia has been ready
    since last year. And your zeal has stirred up most of them. 3 But I
    am sending the brothers so that our boasting about you may not
    prove vain in this matter, so that you may be ready, as I said you
    would be. 4 Otherwise, if some Macedonians come with me and find
    that you are not ready, we would be humiliated- to say nothing of
