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.

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.
