Timothy Keller Sermons Podcast by Gospel in Life

• Love Beyond Degree

  Rightly so, at Christmas, people who are suffering want to know, “Why should I be merry? What basis do I really have for joy?” The answer is that if Christmas really happened, if God really did open a cleft in the pitiless walls of this world, if he broke into our broken reality with his healing power, if he became a human being, then there are three solid bases for joy in any circumstance.  If Christmas happened, then even in the deepest grief, you can feel these three things holding you up: 1) our bad things will turn out for good, 2) our most truly good things can never be taken away from us, and 3) our best things are yet to come. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 17, 2006. Series: In Christ Jesus: How the Spirit Transforms Us. Scripture: Romans 8:28-39.

• Groaning in the Spirit

  If we’re going to be equipped for real life, we have to see how Christ actually prepares us to face the unavoidable brutalities of life. We’ve been looking at how faith in Christ concretely and profoundly changes us. And in Romans 8, we get to the subject of suffering. It’s absolutely crucial if we’re going to be equipped in any spiritual way for real life, to see how Christ helps us in our sufferings. This text gives us three things: 1) it gives us a warning about suffering, 2) it gives us three resources for suffering, and 3) it tells us how we can be sure those resources will work. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 10, 2006. Series: In Christ Jesus: How the Spirit Transforms Us. Scripture: Romans 8:13-27.

• Mortification Through Joy

  When I first embraced the Christian faith, there were a number of things in my life that profoundly needed changing. But nothing seemed to work until some Christian writers took me to Romans 6, 7 and 8.  When I began to understand the teaching of these chapters, my life began to change. In this brief series, I’m sharing these teachings with you as we ask this question: how does faith in Christ actually lead to real change in one’s life? In Romans 8, we see that in Jesus, you get three things: 1) you get the freedom to know yourself, 2) you get a new method to change yourself, and 3) you get a new power to be yourself. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 3, 2006. Series: In Christ Jesus: How the Spirit Transforms Us. Scripture: Romans 8:1-13.

• Splitness

  How does change really happen in somebody’s life? And how does faith in Christ concretely and practically lead to change?  In Romans 7 we see, in very starkly and shockingly realistic terms, a depiction of the human heart. And what we really see is the very heart that any principles about change have to be applied to. When we look at Romans 7, I think we learn three things: 1) what our biggest problem is, 2) what won’t address that problem, and 3) what will. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on November 26, 2006. Series: In Christ Jesus: How the Spirit Transforms Us. Scripture: Romans 7:1-9, 18-25.

• Perfect Freedom

  If you need to see changes in your life, what is the process by which change really happens? And how does that change flow from belief in Jesus? The gospel is unique to all the religions of the world in that it says salvation is not achieved, but is received. So if you understand the gospel, and that salvation has nothing to do with how you live, why would you change? In Romans, Paul answers that, and in the process, he shows how faith in Christ concretely leads to changes. In Romans 6, Paul gives us three keys to real, profound life change: 1) you have to recognize the shape of your spiritual slavery, 2) you have to realize the scope of your cosmic unity with Jesus, and 3) you have to live daily out of your new identity. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on November 19, 2006. Series: In Christ Jesus: How the Spirit Transforms Us. Scripture: Romans 6:1-7, 11-18.
