Timothy Keller Sermons Podcast by Gospel in Life

The Bible says probably 20 times more things about money than it does about sex, maybe more than that. So if you're trying to know the Bible, you're gonna know a little bit of something about money. We all have our own filters. We all have mental maps, assumptions about God and the universe and human nature and what's important in life. It's what we call a worldview. So what is the Christian worldview when it comes to wealth creation? The real question is whether wealth creation is good or bad or halfway in the middle? And we'll see that the Bible is more nuanced on that answer. In the Christian worldview, wealth creation 1) is not bad, 2) is not good, and 3) is not something in the middle. This talk was given by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 27, 2004. Series: Center for Faith and Work.

Isaiah 60 describes the new heavens and the new earth. It's looking to the end of time when God makes everything right—paradise restored. And in this passage, all the nations of the world are bringing their work products.  What is gold and silver? What is the flux and the grain? They're bringing the products of their work to God as offerings to God. And this means that just as there was work in the original paradise, there'll be work in the future paradise.  What does that mean for our work? Let's notice three things: 1) the goodness and dignity of work, 2) what's wrong with work, and 3) how work can be healed. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 10, 2016. Series: Where We Are Going: The City and the Mission. Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-11, 18-21.

Living the Christian life is not a matter of willpower and self-effort. Because of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we have the potential for radical and organic growth and change.  2 Peter talks about moving from selfishness to unselfishness, from enslavement to freedom, from foolishness to wisdom. It's talking about inward character change, about spiritual growth.  According to this passage, spiritual growth is 1) possible, 2) gradual, 3) essential, 4) practical, and 5) ultimately wonderful.  This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on June 8, 2014.

The friendship between Jonathan and David is rightly famous. Because we have so much information about the life of David, the narrative arcs are long. So to follow David's friendship with Jonathan, you have to see it over multiple passages. We're going to look at four passages in 1 Samuel to see what the Bible tells us about the importance of friendship.  From the friendship of David and Jonathan we can learn 1) the absolute importance of friendship, 2) the necessary elements of friendship, and 3) the requisite power for friendship. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 17, 2015. Series: David: The Man of Prayer. Scripture: 1 Samuel 18:1-4.

Who is Jesus? In Mark 2 and 3, Jesus makes a claim about himself that's so immense it almost defies categories.  In this text, two incidents are detailed and they both have to do with how we observe the Sabbath day. To understand the magnitude of Jesus' claim here, we have to unpack the meaning of the entire text and then ask what he's actually claiming. Let's look at the features of the story and learn from each of these: 1) the anger of Jesus, 2) the enemies of Jesus, and 3) the claim of Jesus and what that means for you. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 8, 2015. Series: Light in the Darkness: Glory of Jesus in Mark. Scripture: Mark 2:23-3:6.

In this unparalleled text in the Bible, we learn not so much what the church does, but what the church is. We've been looking at the animating gospel principles that have profoundly shaped our church's life in the city and service to the city. And that often means we've looked at something the church does. But now, let's look at what the church is. In 1 Peter 1, we can get insight into the church's 1) glory, 2) gifts, and 3) grace. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 24, 2016. Series: Where We Are Going: The City and the Mission. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:4-12.

In The Bride of Frankenstein movie, the monster stumbles into a blind man's cottage, and they become friends. The only humanity he ever develops is in that cottage, where a person grabs him by the hand and calls him friend. And what it's saying is that there's nothing more humanizing than friendship and there's no pain more horrible than loneliness. In fact, all kinds of studies show that people who have fewer friends die more readily of disease and heart attacks.  So as we look at John 15, there are two questions I'd like to ask: 1) why do we need friendship, and 2) how do we meet that need? This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 19, 1992. Series: Gospel of John, Part 2. Scripture: John 15:9-17.

For centuries this famous passage has been called the parable of the prodigal son. But it's a great mistake to think it's a story about one son. It's a story of two sons, of a younger and an older brother. If you don't compare and contrast the two, you're going to miss the radical message.  Jesus is saying every thought the human race has ever had about how to connect to God—whether East or West, ancient or post-modern, religious or secular—has been wrong. Jesus shatters all existing human categories.  Let's look at the story, and then see three things Jesus is telling us: 1) Jesus redefines God, 2) Jesus redefines sin, and 3) Jesus redefines salvation. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on September 11, 2005. Series: The Vision of Redeemer. Scripture: Luke 15:1-2, 11-32.

In Mark 2, Jesus makes a claim that is so over the top, so out of all categories, so outrageous that the religious leaders don't even have a word for it. They've called him blasphemous before, but this claim goes beyond their words. In this passage, two incidents are linked together, both having to do with the Sabbath. And what Jesus says is that he's not here to reform religion—he's here to absolutely end religion and replace it with himself.  What we're going to see is, 1) on the one hand, the futility of religion and, 2) on the other hand, the finality of Jesus Christ. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 19, 2006. Series: King's Cross: The Gospel of Mark, Part 1: The Coming of the King.

We're looking at the post-resurrection appearances of Jesus.  After his resurrection, Jesus is still teaching his disciples—and us—preparing us to go out into the world and represent him. And in John 21, he teaches the disciples four things that should be true of us if we're Christians. Another way to put it is four marks the Christian church ought to have in the world. And those four marks are 1) supernatural unity, 2) new identity, 3) continuous intimacy, and 4) comprehensive certainty. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 23, 2017. Series: Jesus, Mission, and Glory: Doubters and Deniers. Scripture: John 21:1-14.

In our times, friendship is relatively ignored. Every other kind of love, every other kind of relationship is a hot topic. Everybody is writing about romance or family, while friendship is seen as uninteresting. And yet, friendship is absolutely vital. Do you understand how crucial it is to make, find, maintain, and develop friendships?  Let me just ask three questions: 1) why is friendship so neglected today? 2) why is it so vitally important and crucial? and 3) how can the resources of the Christian faith help us understand friendship and galvanize, energize and recover friendship? This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 27, 1997.

Hannah is a woman in enormous pain. At the beginning of 1 Samuel, she is roaring with pain, roaring with grief. And yet, in Hannah, we have a case study of a woman at prayer, a woman who has a spiritual encounter with God. Hannah eventually becomes the mother of the prophet Samuel. And we can all learn something from her fascinating account. To understand this passage, we need to see 1) the anatomy of Hannah's pain, 2) the change in Hannah's heart, and 3) the secret in Hannah's song. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 21, 2007. Series: Real Spirituality – Prayer and Beyond. Scripture: 1 Samuel 1:4-11; 2:1-10.

What's described in Isaiah 60 never happened in human history and never can happen in normal human history—and it has much to teach us about how we view our work. Isaiah 60 looks to the end of time when God makes everything right and paradise is restored. And in that restoration, something happens that we often overlook: all the nations of the world bring their work products—their gold, silver, flux, and grain—as offerings to God. Just as there was work in the original paradise, there'll be work in the future paradise. And so, what does that mean about our work?  This text points to three things about work: 1) the goodness and dignity of work, 2) what's wrong with work, and 3) how work can be healed.

There are two typical approaches to work today, and both of them are wrong. Both of them cut right against what God meant work to be. One approach says, “Work is a curse—something to be endured for a paycheck.” The other approach says, “Work is my way to find self-esteem through achievement.” But the Bible, and the fourth of the Ten Commandments, shows us a different view of work. Let's see what the fourth commandment and Ephesians 6 show us about work: 1) work is not a curse; it's a calling, 2) work is not for yourself; it's for him, and 3) three things to do if you're unhappy with your job. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 22, 1989. Series: Proverbs: True Wisdom for Living. Scripture: Ephesians 6:5-9.

Proverbs says you're not going to be a wise person unless you're great at choosing, forging, and keeping terrific friendships. For the vast majority of your decisions, there will be many options that are all moral. Wisdom is being so in touch with reality that you know the right thing to do in the situations moral rules don't address. And Proverbs says you will not lead a wise life unless you are really good at friendships. If we look at various verses in Proverbs, we can learn 1) the uniqueness of friendship, 2) how to discover a friend, 3) how to forge or build a friendship, and 4) where we get the power for friendship. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 29, 2005. Series: Proverbs: True Wisdom for Living. Scripture: Proverbs 17:17; 18:24; 25:17, 20; 26:18, 19; 27:5, 6, 9, 14, 17; 28:23; 29:5.

This is a startling passage. The context is that the Galatians, who became Christians out of pagan backgrounds, are now falling under the influence of teachers who say, “It's not enough just to believe in Jesus Christ. You also have to obey everything in the Bible.”  Paul says something here which is astounding. He says that if they do that, they will fall back under what he calls the slavery of the non-gods. So we ask ourselves three questions: 1) what are the non-gods? 2) how do they enslave? and 3) how can we be free? This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 22, 1998. Series: Galatians: New Freedom, New Family. Scripture: Galatians 4:8-20.

The meaning of Christmas is that God got flesh and blood. In Jesus Christ the holy and transcendent God became really and fully and truly human. He shared in our humanity. I submit to you that the traditional, moralistic religion has completely forgotten this whole idea. In fact, I submit to you that if you and I really understood the fact that Jesus Christ shares in our humanity, we'd live differently.  What does that teach us about God? It teaches us three things: 1) God has a concern for the physical, 2) God has a knowledge of the sorrowful, and 3) God desires the relational.

Abraham is a lot like many of us, who are not from where we now live. We've been brought somewhere from elsewhere. Abraham is the same. Abraham left his home community and became an exile. The Bible tells us repeatedly in the New Testament that each of us should see ourselves as exiles. We should live where we're called to live as exiles. What does that mean? What did Abraham actually do in his exile? Let's look at what the Bible says about how Christians are supposed to relate to the cities to which they've been called.  We learn three things from this passage: 1) God builds cities, 2) God sends people to cities, and yet at the same time, 3) God frees us from cities. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 11, 1994. Series: The Nature of Faith. Scripture: Hebrews 11:8-16.

Hebrews is written to people who had suffered a great deal of persecution and difficulty. They were getting discouraged. Some of them were saying, “What good is this Christianity? We're good people. Why are such bad things happening to us?” The writer is showing them that they have resources as Christians such that they can face life, no matter what it throws at them, with greatness and power and stamina. And in Hebrews 12, we come to the final case study that shows this. We come to Jesus himself. By looking at what Jesus suffered, why Jesus suffered, and how he suffered, we learn how we can face anything and triumph. This passage shows us three basic principles: 1) you will handle life's difficulties depending on your focus, 2) you will deal with your troubles as long as you understand Jesus' work, and 3) you should discern his model. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 4, 1994. Series: The Nature of Faith. Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-13.

The whole story of Moses and the leading out, the exodus, of the people of Israel out of Egypt and out of their slavery is all told in Hebrews 11 in just a couple of phrases. In the Passover's ordinance of the death of a lamb and taking shelter under its blood, God gave the Israelites and anyone who wanted to read the Old Testament a clue to the meaning of the universe. Look at Jesus as Lamb, and a tremendous greatness of life will develop. This is the object of our faith. This is the thing we look at to become people of faith. From looking at Jesus as our Passover, Jesus as the Lamb of God, we get three lessons: 1) we see everybody deserves judgment, 2) Jesus' death is a propitiation, and 3) the reason Jesus Christ was so weak as the Lamb was because his love was so strong.

Is it possible in a throwaway culture, in a society of throwaway relationships, and in a society of throwaway identities to be a person who can endure and hyperstand?  To hyperstand means you put your feet down and nothing can knock you off your feet. It's like you're in a river, but you can stand in the river. That's what the book of Hebrews is about. And in the life of Moses, we see the secret of endurance, of someone who stands firm in the long run. Let's look at 1) what Moses endured, and 2) how he did it. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on November 13, 1994. Series: The Nature of Faith. Scripture: Hebrews 11:23-30.

If we live a big life of faith, how will it show itself in the most specific and particular daily lifestyle details?  The writer of Hebrews shows us the lifestyle of a person of faith. If circumstances and events and troubles no longer have the mastery over us, if we instead master them, what kind of people will we be in the way we live? We will be characterized by a lifestyle of openness and generosity.  There are three kinds of openness and generosity that are mentioned in this passage: 1) living space, 2) social situations, and 3) your finances.

How can you live a life so no matter what comes at you, you face it with equilibrium, you face it with poise, you face it with strength?  Today we come to an incident in Abraham's life which is called a test. In the beginning of this particular brief account, it says God tested Abraham. This is the secret of a great life. The secret of a great life is to understand you become great only through tests.  We have to understand 1) there are tests, 2) how these tests work, 3) why we need these tests, and 4) how we pass these tests.

There's one guy who is so preeminently an example of a life of faith that three religions look to him as the paragon of faith. That guy's name is Abraham.  Here's the story of Abraham's life: God said, “Get out!” Abraham said, “Where?” God said, “I'll tell you later. Just go.” The Lord said, “I will give you this land.” Abraham said, “When?” God said, “I'll tell you later. Just wander around in tents.” The Lord said, “I will give you a son.” Abraham said, “How?” God said, “I'll tell you later. Just wait around.” The Lord said, “Slay your son.” Abraham said, “Why?” God said, “I'll tell you later. Just walk up the hill with him.” If you read the whole narrative, you'll find that he fell down a number of times. But every time Abraham masters the situation.  In the face of it, the circumstances didn't master Abraham. How? Three principles: 1) he heard the call of God, 2) he obeyed the call of God, and 3) he looked to the city with foundations.

Abraham had greatness in the face of a completely uncertain future. He had no idea what was coming, and yet he lived a life of greatness. How can we?  The writer of Hebrews is writing to a group of Christians whose lives were going very badly. And in chapter 11, he says to them, “You don't understand. The great men and women of God have never had designer lives. Yet they lived great lives.” And Abraham is perhaps the greatest case given. How we can live life with greatness, with stability, with confidence? There are three principles: 1) the negative principle, 2) the positive principle, and 3) the ultimate principle.

Enoch is a very mysterious Old Testament figure. God took him right to heaven without him tasting death—because he walked with God. What's so special about walking with God? In the garden of Eden, in the beginning of time, God took long walks with us every evening. And yet the minute human beings disobeyed God, they couldn't stand intimacy with infinity anymore. Humans no longer walk with God. But suddenly, in Genesis 5, Enoch shows up and he still walks with God. What? It's still possible? Yes, it's possible by faith. Faith. You can do it too.  Being a Christian is not about a general belief in God—it's about walking with God. To walk with God is to 1) walk in peace with him, and to 2) walk in the presence of God. Let's look at these two aspects and then, 3) look at how these two are drawn together. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 9, 1994.

Many of us are wondering how we're even going to face Monday, but the men and women in Hebrews 11 didn't just know how to face life—they were enabled to even go against the whole world. And the thing that enabled them was they were commended by God. Abel got the commendation from God—he was shown God accepted him as absolutely righteous, and as a result, he became one of these great hearts who can face the world, can face anything. By looking at Abel, and the contrast with Cain, we can have some understanding about how we also can know this same thing. The best way to understand the case of Cain and Abel is to ask: 1) how were Cain and Abel alike, 2) how were they not alike? and 3) are you Cain or Abel?

Christian faith is more than thinking, because the Christian message, the gospel, is much more than an idea. It is not just an idea; it's a power.  The gospel bears fruit in you. It's a living thing. But how does faith move from being an idea to being a power? You stop just believing in God and you start believing God. Noah shows us the way.  Hebrews 11 shows us that Noah does three things that bring the power of faith into life: 1) he believes God, 2) he condemns the world, and 3) he hides in the ark.

The Bible tells us faith begins with thinking. The Bible says faith requires and stimulates the profoundest thinking and reasoning. You cannot be a Christian without using your brain to its uttermost.  Nowadays, we're told by our culture from the time we're very little that the big questions—what is real, what is right and wrong, and what we should be living for—are questions for the philosophers. We're taught that the important things are standard of living, career, appearance, and psychological needs.  Hebrews 11 shows us three aspects about faith: 1) that thinking leads to faith, 2) how thinking leads to faith, and 3) whythinking leads to faith.  This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on September 18, 1994. Series: The Nature of Faith. Scripture: Hebrews 11:1-7.

What is faith? What is it made of? How do you know if you have it? How do you lose it? How do you get it back? Hebrews 11 deals with all of these things through specific personal case studies of men and women who wrestled with issues of faith. I would suggest that it's the easiest to understand the parts of faith as three layers, one of which comes first, then the others resting upon it. But the reality is it's more complex than that. If you look hard enough at any one of these aspects, the other two are contained in the one. Yet all three are absolutely critical if we're going to understand faith. Faith 1) begins with understanding, 2) which leads to conviction, but 3) completes itself always in commitment.

One mark of a supernaturally changed heart is a changed attitude and view of races and cultures.  In social relations, grace-changed Christians use their power to serve, not exploit. We're going to look at this by looking at a dispute that happened in the church of Rome, and by comparing it to another dispute. These passages show us 1) the problems that culture poses, 2) the solutions, true and false, and 3) how we get the power to implement the true solution.

Some people say there's a cultural crisis of integrity.  For example, Volkswagen was revealed to have deliberately used software designed to lie about emissions. It was a failure of integrity from one of the biggest corporations in the world. And some of you may be yawning, thinking that's just the way things are. But the Bible says a supernaturally changed heart rejoices with the truth. Let's talk about 1) how important integrity is, 2) how you practice integrity, and 3) how you can become people of integrity.  This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on June 19, 2016.

When the Greeks and Romans met the early Christians, one of the first things that surprised them was how Christians handled suffering.  Christianity brought into the world a view and a way of handling suffering that the world had never seen. It was one of the evidences of a supernaturally changed heart. And in Romans 8, a passage that looks at all the benefits of salvation, we learn a lot about suffering. Romans 8 shows us 1) the unique Christian view of suffering, 2) the unique resources we get to face suffering, and 3) how we can make those resources our own. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 15, 2016. Series: What We Are Becoming: Transforming Love. Scripture: Romans 8:16-28.

What are the characteristics of a supernaturally changed heart? You can be very moral and active in church and still be an incredibly impatient, bitter person. So we're looking at what Paul says are the marks of a supernaturally changed heart. And for this, Romans 12 is an explosive passage.  Let's look at what this passage says about 1) patience and graciousness in life in general, and 2) love and forgiveness in the face of mistreatment. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 8, 2016. Series: What We Are Becoming: Transforming Love. Scripture: Romans 12:9-21.

Most of us know how to restrain a life. We start to get in trouble, so we change. But when the consequences go away, we snap back the way we were.  Human nature without supernatural intervention is like a rubber ball that's squished, but when the pressure is off, it snaps right back. The rubber ball was constrained. It wasn't actually changed or reshaped. 1 Corinthians 13 is about how you actually change, about how you get a supernaturally changed heart. What is the supernaturally changed heart? Let's take a look at 1) two things it is not and 2) what it is. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 1, 2016. Series: What We Are Becoming: Transforming Love. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-13.

There is nothing that beggars your own sense of wisdom than to study what the Bible says about divine wisdom. Ephesians 5 tells us a lot about wisdom. And it shows us that biblical wisdom puts God in the center in a way that develops three aspects of wisdom. We see in these verses 1) why we need to walk in wisdom, and 2) what it means to walk in wisdom. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on June 9, 1991.

Ephesians 5 talks about light and wisdom. Paul says that because you once were darkness and now are light, you should now expose works of darkness and experience the fruit of light. Then in verse 15, Paul says that we are to walk as wise and not as fools, for the days are evil. What Paul is saying is that walking in wisdom is the way in which you expose the deeds of the darkness. In these verses, Paul shows us 1) there are two different realms—darkness and light, 2) we are to have nothing to do with unfruitful works of darkness, but are to instead bear the fruit of the light, and 3) as one who is in the light, your job is to expose the deeds of darkness.

The essence of Christianity is arguing with yourself. What makes you an effective Christian is that you're continually arguing with yourself, and you're winning the argument. Because of what Christ did, God can restore the world and restore everything if we come to him through Christ. And in Ephesians 5, Paul uses the imagery of darkness and light to argue with us about how we need to be living: “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.” If you don't get the verse right, you'll never win the argument.  To understand this, we have to understand what the Bible means when it talks about light and darkness in spiritual terms. It means: 1) God is truth, 2) God is righteousness, and 3) a mark of somebody who has crossed from darkness to light is that they become more of a servant.

Christianity is never a mechanical thing. And the church is not a morality agency—it's a regenerating agency. The real goal of the do's and the don'ts in the Christian life is always character—growing into God's holy people. The church does bring about moral behavior but, in a sense, as a byproduct. Because what the church is after is to turn people into saints, to create a kind of person. In Ephesians 5, we learn three things: 1) your Christian faith has to include a saying no as well as a saying yes, 2) Paul explains a few critical things you must say no to (greed, foolish talking, and sexual immorality), and 3) the whole point is not to give us a list of do's and don'ts, but the point is always to be holy.  This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 12, 1991.

Whenever God turns to you, if you believe in him, all he sees when he looks at you is complete beauty and sweetness. Jesus Christ offered himself up and fulfilled all of the obligations we owe God, so he has completely satisfied God. God sees nothing and senses nothing but sweetness when he regards you. But you still live in a world twisted and broken by sin. And you have to deal with the realities of that. Therefore, there's always a negative. And Ephesians 5:3-7 tells the negatives: there are prohibitions, limits, warnings. There are no exceptions to them.  We must see both the positive and the negative: 1) the positive is that Jesus has fulfilled the law, and 2) for the negative, there are three categories of no's: no covetousness, no foolish talking, and no sexual immorality.

If you look at the particulars Christian teachings, the particulars don't look that different from many other ethical systems. The difference is that Christianity is never interested in moral behavior simply as moral behavior. In every instance, putting on the new self means to remember your identity. Being a Christian is ultimately about being melted with spiritual understandings of who you are now that Jesus Christ has said, “You are my beloved child,” of who you are now that the Holy Spirit has come in and said, “I now live within your heart.” Ephesians 4 is an amazingly multifarious passage on what the Christian lifestyle really is. And the purpose of this passage is to show how we can put off the old self and put on the new.  Let's look at anger and forgiveness. We'll look at anger to see 1) suppression or denial of anger is wrong, 2) anger is sometimes required, 3) there are sinful forms of anger, and 4) if you can't forgive, it's because you haven't sensed his forgiveness.

Christianity has an amazing approach to lying and to anger that almost nobody else has. For truth-telling, it says truth must always be told with love. And for anger, it says, “Be ye angry, and sin not.” Paul doesn't say, “Well if you get angry, it might be okay.” He says, “Be angry. Do it.” Very often it is wrong not to be angry. But then he turns around and says, “and sin not.” It must mean two things: that anger can easily lead to sin and trouble, and that it's possible to be angry but not become sinful. Ephesians 4 shows us a lot about lying and anger. Let's look at 1) what it means to speak the truth in love. And then we'll discuss how 2) anger is not wrong in itself, 3) we are to sin not, and 4) we have a way to deal with anger.

A good test shows you what you really are, what's really in you. If you're in denial, the tests are devastating. If you're dropping the ball, the tests are traps. Jesus says the only way you're going to come through the tests of life is if you seek God. How are you doing right now? Are you going through and failing the little tests, and are you setting yourself up for failure of some big test in the future? How can you be delivered from evil in the tests of life? Jesus tells you how.  Let's look at four very practical ways of dealing with the tests of life: 1) expect the tests of life, 2) in the tests, realize the real enemy is evil, not pain, 3) process your tests through the love of the Father, and 4) see Jesus swaying, “Pray: Lead us not into temptation.” This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 28, 1995.

In this passage, we finally get to a particular kind of prayer in which people are very interested: to the place where Jesus says prayer is a way to change our circumstances.  Prayer makes a difference. You can come to God and say, “Give us this day our daily bread.” But notice this happens in the very middle of the Lord's Prayer. It's surrounded by all sorts of other concepts. And you can't understand how it works unless you see all of its relationships to the rest of the prayer.  Petitionary prayer will only work if you 1) get confident, 2) get perspective, 3) get humble, and 4) get reconciled.

I'll say it consciously: this is our worst nightmare. More than anyone else in history, modern people believe we ought to have a good life and we ought to have some control over our lives. But Jesus says when you connect with God, you must pray, “Thy will be done.”  This means the purpose of prayer is not that we would bend God's will to meet ours, but that we melt and soften our will into God's. The Bible says the way to find yourself and your happiness is never to seek yourself or your happiness but to seek God and his righteousness. In order to make it possible for us to do this, let's look at what the Bible tells us about 1) where, 2) why, and 3) how to pray “Thy will be done.” This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 7, 1995.

What does it mean to hallow? It's a word virtually never used anymore in everyday English, but we don't quite have an equivalent.  To hallow something means to treat it as sacred and ultimate. It means to make something your ultimate concern, to make it the most important thing, to make it the most crucial thing, to make it the supreme beauty, the supreme aim of your life. Jesus says this comes first, and I want to show you that praise and adoration is really what life is about. Matthew 6 teaches us 1) the necessity of praise, 2) the primacy of praise, and 3) the anatomy of praise.

Jesus doesn't just point the way to God—rather, he is the way to God because he's risen. And that means that for Christians, prayer is a unique, radically different process than it is for other religions and philosophies.  Prayer is a rather universal thing, and there are many ways to pray. But Jesus says there are really two different bases on which you can approach God. He's not talking about whether to ask; he's talking about how to ask, about why you think you're being heard. And he says there are two utterly different bases on which you can go to God. Looking at Matthew 6, let's try to 1) understand the true basis of prayer, and 2) employ the true basis.

The Psalms is the divinely inspired prayer book, but when you open this prayer book, the first page is not a prayer. It's a meditation on meditation. Meditation is not the same as studying the Bible. In studying the Bible you're just learning information. Meditation takes what you've learned and does something with it. And according to the Psalms, meditation is actually the key to prayer.  Psalm 1 tells us 1) the priority, 2) the promise, 3) the products, 4) the practice, and 5) the problem and solution of meditation. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on November 23, 2014. Series: The Prayer of Prayers. Scripture: Psalm 1:1-6; 2:1-12.

The Lord's Prayer is quite a workout. You're asking for a lot of things: daily bread, deliver us from evil. But at the end, you rest in God.  The last phrase in the Lord's Prayer is, “For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever, amen.” Is that just a rhetorical flourish? After all, it doesn't seem to be a prayer. But ancient commentators have said this is a prayer of repose. You realize all the things you've been looking for are already there in God.  In Psalm 27 we have an example of a prayer of repose, and it's exactly what the end of the Lord's Prayer embodies. This is a psalm of David, and we learn 1) what he's facing, 2) what he does about it, 3) how he does it, and 4) why he's confident it will work.

We don't see that envy is as terrible as it really is. Envy is wanting somebody else's life. Do you know what that does? It sucks the joy out of the life you actually have.  In Psalm 73, the psalmist is living as good a life as he can, and everything is going wrong. And on top of that, he sees a lot of other people who are corrupt and they're having a great life. What is the solution? A particular kind of prayer. There are four things the psalmist does in prayer that can only be done in prayer: 1) he admits the worst, 2) he sees the whole, 3) he grasps God's grace, and 4) he reorders the loves of his heart.

What if I told you there was a process and no matter how much you blew up your life, if you used this process, there would be a way to come out the other side whole? Well, here it is. It's what the Bible calls repentance. You say, “You mean just saying I'm sorry?” But that reveals you don't understand the power of this kind of prayer. This kind of prayer, if you do it in an ongoing way, will finally enable you to change deeply from the inside out.  Looking at Psalm 51, we'll see 1) what one thing must you stop doing, 2) what two things must you start doing, and 3) where you get the power to do those two things.
