It’s amazing that after all these years of teaching, Piper has managed to continue viewing that Bible through the lens of a student. Still continuing to learn at that age is admirable

The song Joy in the House of the Lord sure hits different now

For anyone struggling to experience this joy I would highly encourage you to look into the doctrine of adoption. Knowing what we are saved from is very important but the next part is knowing what we’re saved to.

How I love the passion John Piper puts forth on every sermon that is put before him. What a joy to be able to listen and watch him preach. A wonderful example of true servanthood, for the people of God and our Lord Jesus Christ ❤️🕊🙏

When you listen to Mr Piper expound serious joy we instantly identify with this reality which we also loose sight of daily. I should enjoy it to stay in my heart always .

it's my first time to understand about the concept of Christian Hedonism,
it's fascinating and challenging  that you keep faithful even in the midst of persecution and suffering

Boy, Piper brings it home for me. I really needed to hear this specifically. God bless ya!

Thank you for this message of JOY.

Joy is God-driven, whilst Happiness is circumstance-driven.

Joy is expressing the happiness of God in the face of the sadness of sin.

Thank you, for I was always telling me suffer!] But didn't know how? Thank u for encouraging me how to have peace God's peace , Joy, and believe in refuge in Christ.

Try this prayer out guys, It has been so amazing in my life! "Lord, do WHATEVER it takes to align my will with yours."

as a redeemped child of God, it is normal that we have awareness of our sin by the work of the holy spirit through the word of God (either the bible or sermon like this...), and this awareness has come to a deep conviction on our sins. which brings remoseful feeling, weeping, and even grieving. But tears are not good if we stopped here. We have a choice to choose not to control by this emotion and choose to rejoice in the Lord. The sense of conviction or remorse must not be greater than the sense or the knowledge of that God is doing a great work in our life to be more like Christ.

🙏 Halleluyah Amen

The Joy of the Lord is my strength

Joy is expressing the happiness of God in the face of the sorrowfulness of sin.

Thank you for this sermon whilst on quest for the Joy of the Lord with me. I have learnt that without God I have no identity and neither joyful hence as I see it flashes away I look for it

OUR JOY IN THE LORD, STILL AND ALWAYS WILL BE IN THE BASIS OF THE JOY OF THE LORD

Looking forward to the day  that is my hope and my strength being with Jesus ❤

Praise God for your faith Pastor John.
