We Are Far Too Easily Pleased
John Piper
SCHEDULE
MAIN SESSIONS + BREAKOUTS —
Over three days, we’ll look to the Day each of us will stand before God—and to the promised joy of eternity with Christ. Then we’ll ask how that future should shape this day: our life together in the local church, the way we spend our time and gifts, and our part in making Christ known among the nations. The aim is not simply to know more, but to leave ready to live with eternity in view.
