Seven Reasons We Must Pursue Supreme Satisfaction in God

Read the transcript of this message:

[jennamarielovesjesus]

I knew he had one son who was a complete atheist and went off the deep end and mocks Jesus and his father, I didn’t know he had another son who was lost as well so I will definitely be keeping Pastor Piper and his two sons in prayer

[parishdarne]

7 Reasons you should pursue full and lasting pleasure in God:

1. We are commanded by God to be happy in God.
2. Conversion to Christ is the awakening of a superior pleasure in God.
3. Being supremely satisfied in God is part of what saving faith is.
4. To find your superior satisfaction anywhere else but in God is the essence of evil.
5. Jesus’ teaching about self denial is based on this pursuit of joy.
6. You cannot love people the way you should if you are indifferent to your joy in God.
7. God is most glorified in you when you are most satisfied in Him.

Just one of the most beautiful sermons I've ever heard, or read! This is so timely and Providential as He draws the elect to Himself from the ends of the earth, and in my own personal walk! Praise YAHWEH in the highest!

[Hoppieg]

This is the most convicting sermon I’ve ever heard in my entire life. I feel it in my bones. Praise God almighty, who uses people to reach us, in the depths of our own ignorance while suffering in need of repentance. Praise God for his long suffering patience, while the Holy Spirit works in us, to produce a fruit most pleasing, to the LORD of Lords and KING of Kings.

One of the best sermons I have ever heard. Packed full with truth and wisdom only The Holy Spirit can give. God is working mightily in you Pastor! Praise God!

[TrudyBelle]

We need more preachers like him. O God, may Your Holy Spirit bless him & us that we continue to be fed & receive from Your Word. Thank You amen.

It’s good to find a preacher that is down to earth, and preaching the truth with love from his heart

[olgas]

I pray that I find my satisfaction in God, I intellectually know nothing in the world will satisfy other than God and try to act that way. I trust God can and will open my heart and reveal his goodness and glory to me in a way that will satisfy. I don't always feel that, and I am tired of whipping my thought patterns. I rather act like I love God by following his commands, knowing God strengthens and aids me in that desire, and I will leave it to God to work on my heart.

Amen! God is the most glorified in me when I am most satisfied in Him. Having time with Him is the most joyful and happiest time in my life. 💕 God bless, Pastor John and all of you who are listening this amazing sermon from Him. 🙌🏼

I'm so grateful for these full length sermons.... I've found myself quite housebound for the past year and Youtube and other video platforms are a huge "escape" for me... and 95% of the content out 'there' is soooo toxic, that having this sermon play and be heard for the last hour has been magical.... I've been struggling massively in my walk, and you'd think living a life quite secluded might make it easier.... it totally doesn't...
Thank you so much for uploading/sharing this.

God is the supreme delicacy that everyone should enjoy for now and always. Always satisfying!

[annewhittingham]

He is just totally amazing and word based which is a rarity these days God bless you Pastor John Piper

[CowboyFantastic]

No preacher has such passion for Christ which encourages me to always pursue Christ. Phil 1:20-23 ♥️

I really like the way he starts his sermon. Testing people's message through God's Word (the Bible) is the most accurate way to judge and that is the rightful way to know if someone's message is really from God.

[JoseRodriguez-pqsz]

I love this dude. Thus I love our messiah YESHUA Jesus. The I AM GOD OF ABRAHAM ISAAC AND ISRAEL. SHALOM

[jayson]

I just started listening and there’s two main things that are important one you only get this joy in the presence of God into it only happens when you’re rejoicing in God over everything else. There’s the answer. So if you have a joy that leaves it’s because of idols. Very simple. Someone dies, joy goes away. You get sick, joy goes away, you lose your house, your reputation, your money, joy goes away, it wasn’t in God. Let’s not be deceived.

Thank you Pastor John Piper for your joyful Ministry and Testimony :) PSALM 16:11 You make known to me the path of life: in Your Presence there is Fullness of joy: at Your Right Hand are pleasures Forevermore. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah Amen

[justusalmondwilliams]

Your concept of Christian Hedonism is spot on. If people truly knew what heaven is going to be like, their hearts would be circumcised immediately.

[mikefenwick]

So much Truth and Reality. The experience of the spirit of God is that Reality! Thank you Lord for your ever increasing Presents.
