Timothy Keller Sermons Podcast by Gospel in Life

The Christian lifestyle is distinct from other pathways to morality, and necessitates a radical change. What is so distinctive about the Christian lifestyle, and how does it differ from other kinds of morality? 1) You do things because of who you are; 2) Christian morality has a distinct attitude toward the truth; and 3) Natural ability is not the basis for change, and therefore, failures have as much hope as successes. 

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 13, 1991. Series: Christian Lifestyle. Scripture: Ephesians 4:25-32.

We’re looking at the characteristics—also known as the “attributes”—of God according to the Bible.

We’re looking at the characteristics— also known as the “attributes”— of God according to the Bible. This sermon looks at an attribute given in the form of an extended metaphor— God as a shepherd. 

This particular passage is the longest text in the entire Bible depicting God as a shepherd. We will look at it under three headings: 1) A problem (human beings are sheep); 2) A partial but inadequate solution (human shepherds); 3) The ultimate answer (the Good Shepherd).

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on March 20, 2011. Series: To Know the Living God; The God Who Makes Alive. Scripture: Ezekiel 34:11-17, 23-29.

We’re looking at the characteristics— also known as the “attributes”— of God according to the Bible. This sermon looks at the love of God, an attribute contemporary people are almost too comfortable with. The love of God is more complicated and complex than you might think. 

Looking at an Old Testament and a New Testament text, we will uncover the multidimensionality of God's love. 

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on March 13, 2011. Series: To Know the Living God; The God Who Makes Alive. Scripture: Psalm 145:14-20; John 15:9-15.

We’re looking at the characteristics— also known as the “attributes”— of God according to the Bible. Most of our problems stem from not knowing who God is or forgetting who he is at the moment.

One of God’s attributes is that he does not change— this can also be referred to as the immutability of God. We’ll explore this attribute in Psalm 102, looking at what it says about 1) What we are; 2) What we need; and 3) How we can get it. 

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 23, 2011. Series: To Know the Living God; The Majesty of God. Scripture: Psalm 102:1-4; 18-28.

We are going through a series of case studies on prayer and spiritual encounters in the Bible. This great prayer, which comes at the very end of David’s life, gives us a fascinating message about the whole subject of spiritual encounters. The message is that giving — or financial generosity — is a key component in true spirituality and in a real spiritual encounter with God. This is what we’re going to see as we look at this passage and put it in the context of David’s whole life and, therefore, the rest of the book of 1 Chronicles. 

We’ll see three things as we study the passage: 1) What David wanted for his people; 2) How David gave it to them: and 3) How we can have even more of it than they did. 

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on November 18, 2007. Series: Real Spirituality - Prayer and Beyond. Scripture: 1 Chronicles 29:6-20.

We are looking at a series of case studies on prayer and spiritual encounters in the Bible. This message is from the Psalms, which is the prayer book of the Bible. In the Psalms, there are many prayers by people who are suffering and who are asking God for help, asking God for rescue, for relief.

This is a psalm that ends without hope, and has “darkness” as its last word. What is a prayer like this doing in the Bible? There are four messages this psalm teaches us: 1) Spiritual and personal darkness can last a long time no matter what you do; 2) Times of darkness are often the best places to learn about God’s grace; 3) Times of darkness can sometimes be the very best situation for you to grow into someone of greatness; and 4) Darkness can be relativized.

We are looking at Biblical case studies of prayer and spiritual encounters. This message centers around the encounter that Hannah, who eventually becomes the mother of the prophet Samuel, had with God.
