The Saving Pleasure of God

Summary

The sermon's main theme is that God's grace is about awakening joy, not just forgiving sin, as explored in John Piper's "The Pleasures of God." The practical takeaway is that delighting in God, because He is the only all-satisfying object, magnifies God and demonstrates the eagerness of grace for Him to be magnified. We are encouraged to understand God as central in His own affections, for His pleasure in Himself enables Him to love us freely by grace.
