John Piper: Glorifying God by Maximizing Our Joy in Him

October 3, 2013 by mattperman

This is part of the series Catalyst 2013.  Piper’s message was excellent, and I think it is a fantastic ingredient in the leadership teaching here at the conference. It is critical to not just lead, but to lead in a God-centered way. And that means understanding the centrality of God’s glory to all of life […]

September 25, 2011 by mattperman

Piper’s quick summary of God’s path, through Abraham and Israel, to save all the nations: God chose Abraham and said “I will bless you to be a blessing, and through you all the nations of the earth shall be blessed” (Genesis 12, 15).

Platt: 3 Reasons We Must Go to the Unreached with Urgency

September 24, 2011 by mattperman

“Let’s apply these truths to the unreached.”  “There are 6,000 plus people groups with little or no access to the gospel. Over 2.5 billion people. Why must we give our lives, losing them if necessary, to spreading this gospel? Why must we go to them with urgency?” 3 reasons: 1. The knowledge of God in […]

Platt on God's Remedy for Sin

September 24, 2011 by mattperman

A summary of Platt on God’s remedy for our sin: How can a holy God look at a guilty sinner and say: “Innocent”? We rightly expect God to justify the innocent and condemn the guilty. And none are innocent. So how can God call the guilty innocent? Jesus’ death is the payment for sin. All […]

David Platt on Total Depravity

September 24, 2011 by mattperman

“Everything in all of creation responds to God, until you get to man and we have the audacity to look him in the face and say ‘no.’ From this sin, we see lostness all over this book (Isaiah). What does it mean to be lost? It means to be cut off from God. To live […]

Louie Giglio's Mashup of Stars Singing "How Great is Our God"

September 23, 2011 by mattperman

Louie Giglio brought in some amazing illustrations from astronomy to illustrate the supremacy of God. Apparently, the electromagnetic radiation that quasars emit translates into sound. “Stars don’t just shine; they also sing.” So he put some quasars up on the screen and then the sound their signals reduce to. Then he did this for some […]

"God is Bigger Than We Think He Is"

September 23, 2011 by mattperman

Louie Giglio: There is a ripple effect of the gospel that is undeniable. It doesn’t lead us to just contemplate what happened to us, but proclaim what Christ has done. God is bigger than we think he is. I don’t know how big you think he is, but he’s still bigger than that. God is […]
