Desiring God (Dvd)

John Piper

DVD 2011-01-18

God Is the Blazing Sun at the Center of Reality

Everything revolves around Him. And as the most valuable and glorious person who exists, God is loving, not conceited, when He call us to worship Him. His pursuit of glory and our pursuit of joy are not at odds - because God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.

In these eight 30-minute sessions on three DVDs, John Piper explains from the Bible:

  • Why God is so passionate about His glory
  • Why our happiness depends on God's pursuit of His glory
  • That God actually commands us to pursue our happiness
  • That sin is when we abandon God and pursue our happiness in lesser things
  • How our love for God is revealed by our delight in Him, not our labors for Him
  • How joy in God overflows in love to meet the needs of others
  • How only joy in God can sustain us in times of profound suffering

Recorded in the intimate setting of a retreat for youth leaders and students, these sessions are ideal for use in adult and youth Sunday school classes, small groups, retreats, classrooms, and families. To get the most from this resource, use it along with The Blazing Center Study Guide.?

Publisher Description

The Pursuit of Pleasure Is Not Optional. It Is Essential
"
"In this DVD version of "Desiring God"--the classic description of Christian hedonism--John Piper explains how the supreme calling of life is to "glorify God by enjoying Him forever."
Drawing upon Scripture after Scripture, Piper shows why pursuing maximum joy is essential to glorifying God and, in what may be surprising to some, how God is ready to pursue with all His might our pleasure in Him The implications of this truth are discussed in regard to conversion, worship, love, Scripture, prayer, money, marriage, missions, and suffering.
In ten sessions Piper teaches on:

  • One Great Mission and Motivation
  • A Summary of Christian Hedonism
  • The Foundation of Christian Hedonism
  • The Essence of Christian Hedonism
  • The Grand Obligation
  • How Then Shall We Fight for Joy? Recorded in HD with subtitles in English, these video sessions are ideal for use in adult and youth Sunday-school classes, small groups, retreats, classrooms, and families. To get the most from this resource, use it along with the "Desiring God DVD Study Guide."
