Sermons on The Resurrection of Christ
By Matthew Barrett —
I know I am not alone when I say that I have benefited greatly from the preaching ministry of John Piper. When I walk away from listening to one of his sermons I am convicted of sin, soaked in the Word, and given a renewed passion for the glory of God. As Easter approaches I would like to recommend a host of Piper sermons from years past on the resurrection of Christ. Below I have listed them going back to 1987. You can listen to each one of these and for those that you can watch I have made the video available. For each of the sermons listed, there is also a full manuscript made available so you can follow along if you wish.
