This is a short video from Sermon Jams featuring a sermon snippet from a modern-day hero of mine: John Piper (who is on twitter!).

Listen to him spell out Paul’s teachings about displaying Christ as your treasure!

This is the message I want to spend the rest of my life communicating in every way that I can.

I daily beg Jesus to pay off our debts and give me a job where I can spend all day, every day proclaiming this message:

Check out this great interview between Mark Driscoll and John Piper.

This is not  your typical interview where one pastor is giving another pastor a chance to brag or promote something. Mark just asks a ton of open-ended questions about John’s life for the benefit of everyone. And John is very humbly honest. I learned a lot about him that really helps me put my own life experiences in better perspective.

Things like:

  • That Piper just laid down his whole vision of his ‘retirement’ years to adopt a daughter at age 62 out of love for his wife
  • That Piper went through a mid-life crisis that involved years of marital counseling

Give it a listen. It’s about an hour…
