My wife (then, my fiancée) and I were there that day. I’d been licensed to ministry of the gospel only a few days before hearing this sermon. So powerful…it shaped the course of my life, home, labors in the Scriptures, and care for souls. May God alone be exalted! May our lives count for his glory, all our days.

Sermon on the mount

God used this message, to powerfully change my life. Praise God.

God be glorified!!! It was through Piper's inadequacy, through his inability that Christ was able to speak so much strength through this message...God, be glorified!

One of the greatest sermons of the 21st Century. The point in history that the Young and Restless Reformed movement found its voice. this is what every high school graduate should listen to you

I require my New Testament students to watch this sermon. A life-changing sermon.

I've found this sermon 12 years ago. And since then i've listened it several times, but when i do, it feels like I was there in that crowd 23 years ago.

First time listening to this and wow. I’m blown away.

Cool to see his prayer at the beginning answered

Haha that’s what I think too!! God definitely used this sermon and spoke through John Piper!

To think it’s been 21 years since this sermon was spoken, glory be unto God the Father and His Son, Jesus. That He may be exalted by the us through the Holy Spirit who guides us 🙌🏽

Thank you Pastor John Piper for your joyful and loving ministry and testimony :) PSALM 63:! O GOD, You are my GOD; Earnestly I Seek You; "My Soul Thirst For You: my Flesh Faints for You, as in a dry and weary land where is no Water. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, AMEN

Dang. You mess with The Piper, you get the Sniper. Homie has been spitting bars for a FAT minute.

I love this sermon. It makes me just want to shout yes! I need to hear this, it just feels good and true to be reminded of.

I love God's adopted son John Piper. This message was truly beautiful

Being a true man/woman of God is very stressful actually. The heart aches for those who are lost and seeing people pass away that you know many of whom are not saved is painful.

I was at this event. Praise God.

So refreshing to see so many younger folks sit and listen to such a beautiful message about the gospel and what's to come in life. Would love to hear Piper give the exact same message preached again at a Passion conference these days.

Thank you so much John Piper. I can only thank and praise God from my deepest heart for all your sermons and explanations. Only one life, it'll soon be past. Only what's done for christ will last.

Amen! ❤

How blessed is the full preaching! I had only seen an excerpt and it has already had a huge impact in my life's course! Glory be given to the Lord for the gift of this message! May our lives be cross-centered, the way Christ wants them to be!

This was the first ever message from John Piper I'd heard - and it was so memorable. I have it on the One Day Live DVD I own, but thank you for posting the video here on KZread!

This sermon and Paul Washer’s youth message are the two most impactful sermons I’ve heard

Watching this in November 2023. This was 23 years ago. I am 45 years old. I wonder how everyone else turned out.. I hope they are still walking with the LORD. I found this video after googling Galatians 6:14. I have been hated by this world and it has indeed been crucified to me, and I to the world.

Oh my, seeing that crowd that is described in Louie Giglio's Passion book I am currently reading. Wow. Just wow. Soli Deo Gloria! To God Be the Glory!

God bless John Piper and the people at DesiringGod. You're doing the Lord's work!

What a remarkable experience that was

Pastor you are a blessing. May Lord bless you with more strength. Amen.

This is SO Powerful! God most definitely has used this, one speaking through him!! AMEN!!!

Thank You for the encouragement. To God be the glory forever !!! Amen.

The seen is temporary and the unseen is eternal

What a powerful message!

(NKJV) Acts 20: 24 24.But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. Philippians 3: 7-15 7.But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. 8.Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ Galatians 6:14 14.But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

God bless you, Pastor Piper

Good message, we bless and thank God!

March 2021, I’ve loved this talk since it was first uploaded here. 🙏🏼❤️

Amazing grace

Epic sermon 👍👌💐

Great sermon

U can hear a pin drop!.....Powerful

When the perfect comes the partial will pass away. Funny I came to the Lord through a very different message. But at the right time, as I was prepared for truth along came old Pastor John. God has answered your pray my friend. Not quite what I was expecting to find in that treasure chest hidden in the field but far more valuable than anything I expected. I've yelled at you through my phone....How am I supposed to do THAT? Angry. Well I'm figuring it out but it's not me sorting it out that guy is dead. Funny how dead things live isn't it?

I'm very glad this was not Pastor John's last chapter!

Well, I think his prayer was answered haha!

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.1 Corinthians 1:18

This sermon, I don’t think will be like any other. It truly is a pathway to Christian hedonism…

My view is that we boast in our death so that He now lives in me.

David what?

Question for the Christian Theologists? Adam and Eve committed the original sin, and Jesus is their saviour; as per the Christian doctrine. What about animals who mate to produce an offspring? Is their sexual activity also a sin and will Jesus also save them from hell?

Don't know sir. All that i know is I need redemption for my own sin

I like a decent amount of Piper’s stuff but I think his delivery is just not the greatest. For example, when talking about our “exaltation in the cross”. That it’s only possible because Christ came down to die for his glorification so we can exalt Him on the cross. I agree, but why? What does that mean? The answer. It’s because we were designed to worship God. To be in relationship with God. When the Fall occurred, sin interrupted and destroyed that relationship because of our doing. So, when Piper says “We exalt in the cross because Jesus came down to glorify himself on the cross” it means that Jesus restored the relationship that was intended in the first place. The “exaltation in the cross” in other terms means the ability to have a relationship with God once again. “Jesus came down to glorify himself on the cross” in other terms means God got rid of the boundary between us and Him caused by sin. I feel the way Piper explained it could come off in a way that Jesus died for a selfish reason, especially to new believers or non-believers. Otherwise, I agree, just think the wording should’ve been better.

Fulfil the prophecy is what it says. Fish.
