(I have it on Audio CD, and I still have yet to listen to the whole thing, but I have listened to a lot of that sermon series.) I am not sure there is a conflict between the two. I would suggest that you listen to this whole sermon. Because I don't think they are talking about the same things. Primarily in this sermon Paris is talking far more about the problem in Judges with the Priest who was doing what was right in his own eyes, it deals with false religion. I started listening to Desiring God on audio, and have not been able to finish it.

He says "God is MOST glorified when I am SATISFIED in Him." I like what Piper has to say about these things because I have seen this to be true in my own walk with Him. When I am satisfied in my relationship wit Christ God seems to get more glory naturally as a consequence. I can be satisfied in Christ whether in a season of bounty or hardship but when I abide there is fruit. I don't know if you have read "Desiring God" but it lays out a great scriptural basis for all that "Christian Hedonism" covers.
