Marshall Segal | God’s presence makes heaven worth wanting. Because of his salvation, Christians not only rest in him and trust in him but sing to him.
David Mathis | The hostile army ignored God as long as they could, but when he looked down at them, they panicked. Then his people’s newfound fear of him erupted in song and dance.
John Piper | For the writer to the Hebrews, understanding Melchizedek means understanding Jesus. But how can an ancient king help us know the true King of glory?
David Mathis | Why is the writer of Hebrews so enthralled with an often weak and wavering church? He sees her calling, her splendor, and her majestic Savior.
Marshall Segal | Why do we gather to sing week after week, and why should we sing even more? God has saved his people, and all of creation joins in exulting in him.
John Piper | When the church sets aside every boast and embraces God’s ancient plan of grace, she sings with all her heart for God’s glory alone.
John Piper | Love moved Jesus to let Lazarus die. Why? Jesus wanted Lazarus, his family, and the watching crowd to taste his all-satisfying glory.
John Piper | Jesus claimed that Moses wrote about him long before he ever walked the earth as man. If that’s true, how could anyone miss Jesus in the words of Moses?
John Piper | When David wrote a song about becoming king, he ascribed all his victories to the God who gave them. How do we join David in such God-besotted praise?
David Mathis | How is meditation different from simply reading the Bible? Slowing down and sinking deep into God’s word aids our joy and draws us closer to him.
John Piper | There once was a man who gave up everything important so he could cling to things that fade. If we want to follow Jesus, we cannot be like that man.
John Piper | Paul doesn’t just want Christians to know the truths of the Bible — he wants us to set our minds on them. But what does that mean, and how do we do it?
Scott Hubbard | To his friends, George Müller embodied Psalm 23 even under the towering burdens of orphan ministry. What kind of communion with God made such peace possible?
David Mathis | How can exercise equip us for the daily fight against sin? Training the body for our joy, mind, and will frees us to pursue every good work.
John Piper | God fulfills his purpose for the church by his work in the church: He magnifies his grace by beautifying his people.
David Mathis | God’s voice thunders through the forests and the pages of Scripture, calling heaven to rejoice and setting his people at peace. Do you tremble at the force of his word?
John Piper | Sharing God’s nature and upholding creation by his word, the heir of all things suffered in our place to purify us from sin. Who is like Jesus Christ?
John Piper | For the preaching pastor, each sermon demands a fresh hunt for insight in service of a hungry people. How do we find that life-giving truth?
David Mathis | To lead the church faithfully, we need supernatural, sober-minded wisdom. God meets us in his word, by his Spirit, through prayer, with a team.
John Piper | Jesus endured for the joy set before him. Moses obeyed, expecting the Messiah. The early church suffered for a better reward. This is faith.
Marshall Segal | When the Bible talks about setting an example, does it mean only super-Christians? No, even the humblest high-school mentor can make the right mark.
John Piper | Because God’s purposeful sovereignty reaches absolutely everywhere, his gospel can satisfy, his mission will succeed, and his people can never be lost.
John Piper | Jesus’s glorified body, his purpose for believers, his astonishing power, and the glory of the new creation all insist that the resurrection must happen.
Marshall Segal | Jesus’s sheep are happy to be his, and Jesus will never leave them behind. But why would anyone reject this patient, kind, and powerful Savior?
John Piper | There has never been, nor will there ever be, a greater reality than the God we see when we look at Jesus Christ. His very supremacy is our deepest hope.
