Preaching as Worship: Exulting in the Greatness of God

There is a desperate need for a return to God-centered preaching in our churches. The Bible is God’s story from start to finish. It is all about Him not about me. “People are starving for the greatness of God,” John Piper writes. They just don’t know it. Piper goes on to talk about a sermon he preached from Isaiah 6 on the holiness and greatness of God. Would a sermon on the greatness of God meet the needs of his people? Some would say that he should seek to meet the needs of the broken by getting practical about the struggles of life. Weeks later a man took him aside after church to tell him that he and his wife had been going through the hardest times of their lives. Not long before Piper preached that sermon, the couple had discovered that their child had been sexually abused by a close relative and they were shattered by the knowledge. He said to John Piper. “Do you know what has gotten me through? The vision of the greatness of God’s holiness that you gave to me the first week of January. It has been the rock we could stand on.” Join David Christensen as he unpacks this concept of preaching as worship in this training video. If you want to explore the concept in more depth, we recommend reading John Piper’s book, Expository Exultation: Christian Preaching as Worship.
