What keeps a Christian from tipping over when the crosswinds of life hit?

In this final Sermon of our Summer Series on the For the Gospel Podcast, John Piper shows that a God-centered vision is what keeps us from collapsing under pressure. This is not motivational fluff—this is the ballast that holds you steady for the long journey of obedience.

Pastoral ministry is not about filling empty seats but about seeing souls conformed to Christ. In this fourth sermon from our Summer Series, Pastor John MacArthur opens Galatians and exhorts pastors to embrace the sacred agony of shepherding their people toward holiness.

In this video, John Piper opens Galatians 6:14 and proclaims the cross of Christ as the only thing worth boasting in. He calls Christians to live lives shaped by Calvary—where every joy and trial is seen as a blood-bought mercy, and every purpose is surrendered to God’s glory. The message is clear: don’t waste your life on what won’t last.

In this second sermon from our Summer Series, Dr. Charles Swindoll draws us into the quiet, weathered wisdom of the apostle Paul in his final days. Preaching from 2 Timothy 4, Swindoll offers a look at what it means to endure hardship, face betrayal, and remain faithful to the very end.

In the first sermon in our summer series John MacArthur reminds us of the problem of discontentment, showing how anxiety and comparison thrive when our trust shifts from God’s promises to worldly desires. Drawing from Philippians 4, we learn how to defeat discontentment by grounding our peace in God’s promises, not our situation.
