Description :
What Do You Revolve Around? All the planets of your life—from your labor and leisure to your thinking and feeling—are held in orbit by the greatness, gravity, and blazing brightness of Jesus Christ at the center of your life. When He ceases to be the center, the planets of your life fly into confusion, sending a hundred things out of control. Pastor John Piper’s powerful teaching is recorded during an intimate retreat for youth leaders and students onto three
The Blazing Center DVDs. With the study guide, this is an ideal package for adult and youth Sunday school classes, small groups, retreats, classrooms, and families. Discover surprising insights about the reality of sin, how your love for God is really revealed, and how only joy in Him will sustain you through times of suffering.
In these eight 30-minute sessions, John Piper explains from the Bible:
Why God is so passionate about his glory
Why our happiness depends on God’s pursuit of his glory
That God actually commands us to pursue our happiness
That sin is when we abandon God and pursue our happiness in lesser things
How our love for God is revealed by our delight in him, not our labors for him
How joy in God overflows in love to meet the needs of others
How only joy in God can sustain us in times of profound suffering
Recorded in the intimate setting of a retreat for youth leaders and students, these sessions are ideal for use in adult and youth Sunday School classes, small groups, retreats, classrooms, and families.
