The Blazing Center Study Guide: The Soul-Satisfying Supremacy

The Blazing Center Study Guide: The Soul-Satisfying Supremacy of God in All Things

What Do You Revolve Around?

All the planets of your lifeâ€”from your labor and leisure to your thinking and feelingâ€”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 Piperâ€™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.

God Is the Blazing Sun at the Center of Reality

Everything revolves around Him. And as the most valuable and glorious person who exists, God is loving, not conceited, when He calls us to worship Him. His pursuit of glory and our pursuit of joy are not at oddsâ€”because God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.

Story Behind the Book

â€œThe greatest news in all the world is that there is no final conflict between my passion for joy and Godâ€™s passion for His glory. The knot that ties these together is the truth that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him. Jesus Christ died and rose again to forgive the treason of our souls, which have turned from savoring God to savoring self. In the cross of Christ, God rescues us from the house of mirrors and leads us out to the mountains and canyons of His majesty. Nothing satisfies usâ€”or magnifies Himâ€”more.â€
