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.
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.
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
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 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.
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.
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
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.
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 RUclips!
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!
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.
(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.
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?
Lord be glorified in heavens and the earth, I want do not waste my life. Brothers, I would like to try translate and subtitle this sermon to Portuguese. Please, would it be possible? Stay in Peace of our Lord! In Christ
Felipe Garcia Amen! I don't see why not. You may even be able to find a program that can do it for you. I have heard Portuguese is a difficult language, but God willing there is a way.
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?
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.
Literally one of the best sermons in the history of Christianity.

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

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

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!
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.
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.
He is without a doubt one of the greatest preachers of our time. So thankful for this brother’s ministry!❤️
Dang. You mess with The Piper, you get the Sniper. Homie has been spitting bars for a FAT minute.
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 RUclips!
I was at this event. Praise God.
I love this man's message alway's. Awesome man of God.

This sermon and Paul Washer’s youth message are the two most impactful sermons I’ve heard
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!
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!
Wow he's aged a lot the last 15 years. That aside, I'm thankful for this man's life and ministry.
DMJ 822 ministry ain’t easy
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.

Great sermon

Is this the Mike Jacobsen that lived in Arizona in 2004?
Well, I think his prayer was answered haha!
MMA History & Highlights tru..its effects still rippling..2018..and am still watching it.
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
I'm very glad this was not Pastor John's last chapter!
This sermon, I don’t think will be like any other. It truly is a pathway to Christian hedonism…
Lord be glorified in heavens and the earth, I want do not waste my life.
Brothers, I would like to try translate and subtitle this sermon to Portuguese. Please, would it be possible?
Stay in Peace of our Lord!
In Christ
Felipe Garcia Amen! I don't see why not. You may even be able to find a program that can do it for you. I have heard Portuguese is a difficult language, but God willing there is a way.
Felipe Garcia I’m a translator and speak fluent Portuguese. Willing to do it for free, for the glory of God.

Only what’s done for CHRIST will last.
Dear Desiring God saints, can we add some Chinese subtitles in it PLEASE? It will bless a lot of young folks who lives in the Panda empire.
My view is that we boast in our death so that He now lives in me.
4:28 ?

I boast about John Piper only in the cross
David what?
Question for the Christian Theologists?

The animals are defiled because of their overseer(mankind)
Don't know sir. All that i know is I need redemption for my own sin
What's that ? 4:18
Subtitle Indonesia please
