why did God create THIS world?
October 2, 2012
This past weekend, my husband filled the pulpit at our church while our pastor was preaching at the Desiring God National Conference.
I’ve heard my husband preach and teach countless times in the past eight years, but never have I been more encouraged, or ministered to, by one of his messages than I was this past weekend.
Here is the video, audio, and manuscript of his sermon if you’d like to have a listen.

I came to visit Bethlehem this past Sunday to hear your husband speak and it was so good. I felt encouraged and gladdened even by the sorrowing parts…I am thankful that God has made him to speak true and beautiful things and that he has you to love him and walk with him while he works to learn and practice his craft.

Such a beautiful message! Particularly in trying to bring comfort to those suffering the loss of a child.

p.s. Does this mean that Piper CAN go to a Twins game?

I couldn’t get the audio or the video on my iPhone, so I read the manuscript. I thought it was a wonderful sermon. It really spoke to me and reminded me to be thankful for the wonderful love gifts He gives us. I plan to get on my computer and listen again to this message, although I “heard” it through the manuscript loud and clear. Thank you joe and jen!
Incredibly ministered to by this sermon. So thankful for you guys!
Cried through parts of the sermon, but touched so deeply by the overall message. Enjoy the gifts, no matter how big or small they are.
I too have often wondered about that tension in which we live every day. How much enjoyment is too much? Am I getting my eyes off of the Giver and on to the gift?
Wonderfully and thoughtfully delivered sermon…we need you guys here at Sagemont!
We have two families in our life who are struggling with losing a child. This sermon was a huge blessing to us as we love on them.
