The Blazing Center

The Soul-Satisfying Supremacy of God in All Things

God is the blazing sun at the center of reality. Everything revolves around him. And as the most valuable and glorious person that exists, God is loving, not conceited, when he calls us to worship him, because he’s offering us the one thing that will make us the most happy: himself. God’s 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, 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 great for use in adult and youth Sunday School classes, small groups, retreats, classrooms, and families.

Fan the Flame

My Christian walk has been dry as of late and the messages in the Blazing Center DVD along with the discussions we held following have breathed new life into my relationship with Christ!!!! This IS the good news of the gospel. I've known this, but haven't been able to put my finger on it until now. All I can say is, "stoke the flame, you guys. Fan it, get the bellows out and fire it up!" May God be your greatest delight today and everyday.

Thank You for a Resource I Can Use So Effectively

I can't thank you enough for providing the DVD resource "The Blazing Center!" I have been hoping that Dr. Piper would produce a DVD version of the awesome truths he proclaims from the Word for God that can be used for Bible study! I can take this resource into my church and establish either a small group or a life group session and allow God's word to be taught directly by Dr. Piper! And, because the information is so structured, I can use this to establish a string of small groups throughout homes in the Lexington, SC area! I am so excited! I am a Biblical teacher, but I have found it difficult to communicate the truths of Christian Hedonism in the same way Dr. Piper does, with the same effect. Churches in America are in such a need of revival and a return to true Biblical doctrine (mine included), and now I have a resource that could help to that end. Thanks again!
