Title:  Oh, That I May Never Loiter on My Heavenly Journey! (Reflections on the Life and Ministry of David Brainerd) [MP3]
Speaker:  John Piper
Source:  Desiring God Resource Library (Biographies)
Description:  Despite his almost constant, debilitating pain and depression, David Brainerd persevered to take the Gospel of Jesus to the unreached Indians of the early American frontier. Brainerd only lived 29 years. But (owing mostly to his biography by Jonathan Edwards) his life has been used to incalculable effect for the Kingdom of God. He didn't waste his life.
"The list of missionaries who testify to the inspiration of Brainerd’s Life through the work of Jonathan Edwards is longer than any of us knows: Francis Asbury, Thomas Coke, William Carey, Henry Martyn, Robert Morrison, Samuel Mills, Fredrick Schwartz, Robert M’Cheyne, David Livingstone, Andrew Murray. And a few days before he died, Jim Elliot, who was martyred by the Aucas, entered in his diary, 'Confession of pride—suggested by David Brainerd’s Diary yesterday—must become an hourly thing with me.'"
"There are a few Indians—perhaps several hundreds—who owe their everlasting life to the direct love and ministry of David Brainerd.... If we live 29 years or if we live 99 years, would not any hardships be worth the saving of one person from the eternal torments of hell for the everlasting enjoyment of the glory of God?"

Title:  Peculiar Doctrines, Public Morals, and the Political Welfare (Reflections on the Life and Labor of William Wilberforce) [MP3]
Speaker:  John Piper
Source:  Desiring God Resource Library (Biographies)
Description:  John Piper delivers the encouraging account of William Wilberforce, galvinizing Christians to push hard for justice without relenting.
Wilberforce was "no ordinary pragmatist or political utilitarian, even though he was one of the most practical men of his day. He was a doer. One of his biographers said, 'He lacked time for half the good works in his mind.' James Stephen, who knew him well, remarked, 'Factories did not spring up more rapidly in Leeds and Manchester than schemes of benevolence beneath his roof.' 'No man,' Wilberforce wrote, 'has a right to be idle.' 'Where is it,' he asked, 'that in such a world as this, [that] health, and leisure, and affluence may not find some ignorance to instruct, some wrong to redress, some want to supply, some misery to alleviate?'"

Title:  John Newton: The Tough Roots of His Habitual Tenderness [MP3]
Speaker:  John Piper
Source:  Desiring God Resource Library (Biographies)
Description:  This time Piper recounts the life and ways of another of my spiritual heroes, John Newton. Once a debauched slave trader, God transformed Newton into a balanced man of God by His grace: tender, yet tough. In this sermon, you'll find a few reasons why I love quoting John Newton.
"It seems to me that we are always falling off the horse on one side or the other in this matter of being tough and tender—wimping out on truth when we ought to be lion-hearted, or wrangling with anger when we ought to be weeping. I know it's a risk to take up this topic and John Newton in a setting like this, where some of you need a good (tender!) kick in the pants to be more courageous, and others of you confuse courage with what William Cowper called 'a furious and abusive zeal.' Oh how rare are the pastors [or, read: 'Christians'] who speak with a tender heart and have a theological backbone of steel."

Title:  How Few There Are Who Die So Hard! (Suffering and Success in the Life of Adoniram Judson: The Cost of Bringing Christ to Burma) [MP3]
Speaker:  John Piper
Source:  Desiring God Resource Library (Biographies)
Description:  John Piper tells the story of one of my spiritual heroes, Adoniram Judson.
"Our Lord Jesus said to us in very solemn words, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit' (John 12:24). Then he adds this: 'Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life' (John 12:25). In other words, a fruitful life and an eternal life come from this: dying like a seed and hating your life in this world. What overwhelms me, as I ponder this and trace the life of Adoniram Judson, America's first foreign missionary, is how strategic it was that he died so many times and in so many ways."

Speaker:  David Garrison
Source:  "Church Planting Movements - Dr. David Garrison" podcast
Description:  "These are days of great harvest, and nowhere on earth is the harvest greater than in the growing number of Church Planting Movements God is stirring around the world."
"In 2001 a newly emerging Church Planting Movement yields 48,000 new believers and 1,700 new churches in one year." —A church planting movement is no fad. It is something real and spectacular that God is doing among many people groups all over the world. "Look at the nations and watch—and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told." (Habakkuk 1:5)

Speaker:  Paris Reidhead

Title:  Church Planting in Corinth [MP3]
Speaker:  Mark Driscoll
Source:  Mars Hill Church Media Library
Description:  As part of the "Christians Gone Wild" sermon series on 1 Corinthians, Mark covers Acts 18:1-18.
"As a strategic church planter, Paul focused his efforts on cities like Athens and Corinth because culture emanates from urban centers."
"In the earliest days of Christianity, our faith spread from city to city so that by AD 300, 50 percent of Roman cities were Christian, but only 10 percent of the rural area was Christian. Christianity was so identified with urban life that to be a pagan meant that you lived on a farm.
Corinth was a port city and the center of ancient trade and tourism.... If the city was impacted for Jesus, its influence for the gospel would reach far and wide."

Title:  The Gospel-Driven Church [MP3]
Speaker:  Dick Kaufmann
Source:  Acts 29 Multimedia
Description:  "The Gospel is out not to reform people but to transform people. Churches that preach for behavioral reformation tend to elevate middle-class values to the level of biblical norm and focus on external change. We resolve to seek transformation at the motivational and character level, not merely behavioral modification."
"The root of all of our problems is that something other than Christ is serving as our functional savior. Therefore we neither tell people: 'You shouldn't act like that—stop it!' nor 'You need to accept yourself as you are!' Rather, we call them to repent of their idols and trust in Christ who through his life and death is the only one who can give them all they are longing for."

Title:  The Lordship of Christ [MP3]
Speaker:  S.M. Lockridge
Description:  "Jesus Christ is Lord. Man doesn't want to recognize the fact that God is the owner. Even though He did not have to put His signature in the sunset, he's still the owner. Even though He did not stamp a laundry mark on the meadow, he's still the owner. Even though He did not have to put a brand on the cattle of a thousand hills, He's still the owner. He did not have to take out a copyright on the songs that he gives the birds to sing, but he is the owner. His lordship is based on his ownership. Yes, Creation bows before Him and cries, LORD!”

Title:  Today's Decisions Determine Who You'll Be Tomorrow [MP3]
Speaker:  Randy Alcorn
Source:  Desiring God Resource Library
Description:  "Whether or not you endure in your Christian life is dependent upon who you become. Will you become God's man or your man, Christ-dependent or self-dependent? It is the little choices of life that determine which one you become."
"At the end of this life, what will you wish you had done more of? What will you wish you had done less of? Then why not ask God to empower you to spend the rest of your life closing the gap between what you wish you would have done, and what you are now doing today in the little choices of life that will make us the people we one day shall be?"

Title:  God Seeks a Man of Faith [MP3]
Speaker:  Alan Redpath
Source:  SermonAudio.com
Description:  A well-reasoned explanation of the definition of spiritual "faith." Redpath elucidates the truth that faith is not a work. He explains how it is insulting to God to compliment someone for their faith in God.
(This sermon is wrongly titled "God Seeks a Man of Prayer" on SermonAudio.com, compare with the SermonIndex.net sermon by Alan Redpath titled "God Seeks a Man of Prayer." The original title of this sermon is unknown, so I defaulted to calling it "God Seeks a Man of Faith," as it seemed fitting.)

Title:  Racial Harmony and Interracial Marriage [MP3]
Speaker:  John Piper
Source:  Desiring God Resource Library
Description:  "My aim today is to argue from Scripture and experience that interracial marriage is not only permitted by God but is a positive good in our day. That is, it is not just to be tolerated, but celebrated."
An extremely controversial message, Piper's message is one of clarity and a radical adherence to the Word of the Gospel—very much worth a listen.

Title:  Single in Christ (A Name Better than Sons and Daughters) [MP3]
Speaker:  John Piper
Source:  Desiring God Resource Library
Description:  John Piper gives a solidly biblical reminder to Christians in our Modern, Western culture that the Bible holds a special place for people who choose to worship God in a lifetime of singleness, celibacy, and service for Jesus. He explains how both marriage and singleness have their benefits and drawbacks, but that singleness is uniquely positioned for ministry, and discipling, in particular. Singles and married people should all listen to this sermon. Piper helps put natural family relationships in perspective to the potential of giving birth to an exponential spiritual family in the Spirit of Christ.
