Timothy Keller Sermons Podcast by Gospel in Life

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.

Ep.358 – Run With Horses Podcast – Emotional Intelligence for Disciple Makers Podcast: rwh.podbean.com Website: www.runwithhorses.net Youtube: https://youtube.com/@rwhpodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RWHpodcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rwh_podcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/RWH_podcast Author pages with links to all books on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0BCSDDVLB – James Norman Smith https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0BMGW51FW – Susan Jane Smith Part 1:Emotional Intelligence for Disciple Makers 1. Introduction Introduce the concept of Emotional Intelligence (EI) and its relevance in the Christian life, particularly in leadership and discipleship. 2. What is Emotional Intelligence? Definition of Emotional Intelligence: Emotional Intelligence is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage our own emotions and the emotions of others. It involves four key components: Self-awareness: Recognizing one's emotions and their impact. Self-control: Managing and controlling one's emotional responses. Empathy: Understanding the emotions of others and responding appropriately. Compassion: The desire to help Social skills: Building relationships and communicating effectively. Example: Self-awareness: A disciple maker who can recognize their frustration with a fellow believer and chooses to address it in a godly manner rather than reacting impulsively. Empathy: Listening attentively to someone in pain, offering comfort as Christ would, instead of offering quick solutions or judgments. Biblical Example of Emotional Intelligence: Jesus' Emotional Intelligence: Jesus exhibited all four aspects of EI. Self-awareness and Self-regulation: In Mark 14:34–36, Jesus shows emotional vulnerability, yet chooses God's will over His feelings. Mark 14: 32 Empathy, Compassion and Social Skills: Jesus empathized with people, showing compassion. In John 11:33–36, He wept with Mary and Martha at the death of Lazarus, showing deep emotional connection and compassion. 3. Why is Emotional Intelligence Important for Christians? Discipleship and Emotional Intelligence: Emotional intelligence helps disciple makers understand the emotional state and needs of others. Effective disciple making requires patience, compassion, and the ability to manage one's own emotions. Biblical Foundation: Ephesians 4:2-3 – This passage emphasizes emotional control (lowliness, gentleness) and empathy (bearing with one another). Developing Relationships with Others: Jesus' ministry was deeply relational, and He connected emotionally with people. Matthew 9:36 – Jesus ability to understand and connect was key to His effective ministry and discipleship. Practical Application for the Church: Proverbs 15:1 – Galatians 6:2 – 4. Thinking Deeply Reflect on: A time when they experienced emotional stress in ministry or discipleship. How emotional intelligence (or lack thereof) impacted the outcome.     Part 2: Developing Emotional Intelligence for Disciple Makers 1. Recap Briefly recap the key points 2. Deep Dive: How to Develop Emotional Intelligence Self-awareness and Self-control: James 1:19 – Practice slowing down our reactions and reflecting before responding. Teach that self-awareness is about recognizing triggers and the emotions behind them. Learn to listen WELL. Psalm 139:23-24 – Develop self-awareness through prayer, asking God to reveal any emotional blind spots. Self-control through Scripture: Galatians 5:22-23 – Spiritual growth is the foundation of developing emotional intelligence. These virtues align with the emotional self-control we need as Christians. Developing the fruit of the Spirit is key to emotional stability. Empathy: Romans 12:15 – Empathy requires actively engaging with others' emotions, whether in joy or sorrow. Philippians 2:4 – Developing empathy requires intentionality—seeing and caring about others deeply. Pause and ask yourself about the emotional state of other people. Consider WHY they feel they way they do. Seek Understanding. Social Skills: Colossians 3:12-14 – Social skills are rooted in humility and kindness, and effective communication flows out of a heart that is filled with love. Listen to understand! Spend time with people. Look for opportunities to develop deep and lasting relationships. Put their interests first! Practical Strategies for Developing EI: Daily Reflection and Prayer: Incorporate a time of self-reflection each day to assess your emotional responses and ask the Holy Spirit for help. Consider journaling your thoughts and addressing the way you responded to people throughout the day. Ask yourself if you could have responded in a way that better exhibits the fruit of the spirit. Active Listening: Practice listening without responding immediately, making sure to validate the emotions of others. Learn to ask clarifying questions. Accountability Partnerships: Form small groups or one-on-one accountability relationships to help one another grow in emotional maturity.     Doctrine of the Month   The Gospel and Ongoing Disciple Making   – “Thank you for listening today! -If you enjoyed the show you can listen to all the past shows wherever you listen to podcasts.

Lakeside United Methodist Church

3 Simple Rules For all of the detailed theology that undergirds the Methodist movement, John Wesley understood the importance of living out our faith practically. All of the Bible knowledge in the world doesn't do a lot of good if we don't know how to apply it across our lives and relationships. These simple rules are as vital now to our love of God and neighbor as they were when they were introduced in 1743! Scripture ~ Galatians 5:13-15 As the Methodist movement started to grow, it was no longer possible for John Wesley to personally oversee and guide every group that was meeting. He realized that *how* they did things was as important as *what* they did. And the first rule reflects the truth that we cannot truly do good until we commit to doing no harm.

Timothy Keller Sermons Podcast by Gospel in Life

What does it mean to pray, “Our Father”? It's much more complicated than you think.  Everything Jesus Christ came to do—the reason he came, the purpose of his salvation—was that we might receive adoption. We can pray “Our Father” because we've been adopted into the family of God.  Let's look briefly at 1) the gift of adoption, 2) what it means to be adopted, 3) the reason we can be adopted, and 4) how it applies to prayer. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on September 28, 2014. Series: The Prayer of Prayers. Scripture: Galatians 3:26-4:3.

Parsha "Nitzavim," (Devarim or Deuteronomy 29:10 through 30:20) is, according to Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship, not only perhaps THE most succinct, two-word summary of the Torah, but the parsha that is also most central to understanding what is arguably THE Biggest Lie since at least Genesis chapter 3. And the Erev Shabbat reading lays the groundwork for that claim: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/SSM-9-27-24-Nitzavim-teaching-podcast-xxxx.mp3 But that is again just the beginning. WARNING: This is yet another reading in the continuing series of what you will certainly NOT hear in sun-god-day school. But this time the "WHY" is the heart of the problem! The Sabbath day midrash is about that Big Lie, and the fact that the refutation is right there in Deuteronomy chapter 30: "The Law has been done away with...nailed to the cross...it's OLD Testament...and, besides, NOBODY but Jesus could POSSIBLY keep 'the Law.' It's TOO HARD for you!" When, in fact, He says it is NOT too hard for you. Practically sarcastically, even, as if He knew - because He did! - how it would happen. And it's time to tie in some other aspects of that Big Lie as well, including a bit of the "most twisted Book in Scripture" - Galatians - and how that same lie manifests as Kefa/Peter warned. Once you see it - it is impossible to UN-see. But as things come to a head - it is more important than ever that we be able to answer, "in season and out," from His Word, exactly WHY we need to "come out of" EVERYTHING that is based on the Lie that got us exiled in the first place. Because those lies are deadly in a time of judgment for letting them fester.

Timothy Keller Sermons Podcast by Gospel in Life

The point of Galatians is that Christians need the gospel, continually. So let's bring the gospel to a subject that's very relevant for us: self-image and self-esteem. Christianity brings you a way of understanding yourself that is so different than what anything else brings you. And it's a paradox. In Galatians 6, Paul says we're nothing, and then, in the next verse, he says we should take pride in ourselves. What's going on here? Let's take a look at the two sides: 1) we're nothing, and 2) we should have pride. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 10, 1998.

Our relationships are such hard work. People are always getting hurt. People are always getting disappointed. Relationships are a nightmare, but we can't get along without them. As soon as we try to pull back from relationships, we lose our humanity. Because we're made in the image of God. And the triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—has, from all eternity, been loving and knowing and communicating with each other. Relationship is at the very heart of things. Galatians 5 tells us a lot about relationships. Let's look at 1) what is the problem? and 2) what is the solution?

Through faith in Christ, through the gospel, through the Holy Spirit, you can experience lasting, deep, radical, permanent change. If you're going to make such changes, you need to understand the nature of Christian change. You have to understand the nature of it, the pattern of it, and the process of it. Galatians 5 shows us that Christian change is 1) gradual, 2) inevitable, 3) internal, and 4) symmetrical.

When you become a Christian, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead comes into you spiritually, internally. You have the power to change. You have an unsurpassed power to change. So we have to ask ourselves right away, “Are we settling for too little?” I mean, how much have you changed so far? The power that raised Jesus from the dead, that broke the bands of death, is in you. Now, how does it actually work? Let's look at 1) the signs of spiritual deadness, 2) the signs of spiritual life, and 3) how you move over from death to life.

Freedom is the greatest value in the modern Western world. The secular model of freedom is basically freedom from something. It says, “I am only free when there's nothing in my way.” When people come to Christianity, they would like inspiration and help, but they don't want to give up their freedom. Very often, Christians say to them, “You must give it up. God has a will,” but the Bible doesn't come at it like that at all. The Bible instead is dripping with the language of freedom. So let's look at what this text shows us about 1) the failure of secular freedom, and 2) the nature of real Christian freedom. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 5, 1998. Series: Galatians: New Freedom, New Family. Scripture: Galatians 5:5-18.

How could the idea that you're saved by grace alone be any incentive to live a good life? Paul says the gospel of salvation through free grace, not works, is actually a greater incentive to a life of honesty, sacrifice, and love than anything else. He's talking about how we change the human heart, and he says the motivation behind what we do is all-important. Paul tells us 1) what the new motivation is, and 2) how the new motivation works.

Most people think the job of religion is to call people into a life of morality. But Paul says that's not what Christianity is at all. Gospel transformation is completely different than moral reformation. In Galatians 5, Paul says there are two different reasons you could obey God—and the reason for your obedience makes all the difference in the world. Paul tells us 1) there is a wrong reason for moral obedience, and it enslaves us, and 2) there is a whole other engine for obedience, and it is hope and love.

What's the purpose of writing a letter to somebody? The purpose is to get something across. So when we read the Bible, we need to have the intellectual integrity to treat it the way we'd want our own communications treated. Galatians 4 is a text that many find difficult to read and interpret. What is Paul saying? What does he mean? But if we understand the context, it really is very simple in the end. If we look at Galatians 4, we'll see 1) he talks about two sons, 2) then he talks about two covenants, and 3) then he gives two applications. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on March 15, 1998. Series: Galatians: New Freedom, New Family. Scripture: Galatians 4:21-31.

The difference between a sword and a scalpel at first sight doesn't seem that great. But you can either cut in order to defeat or in order to heal. The book of Galatians is counseling, and for Paul, truth is a scalpel. He's not using truth to bludgeon, but to do surgery. And the reason this truth changed other people's lives was because Paul brought the truth through the mode and channel of true friendship. We're told three things in this passage about transforming friendships: 1) a friend has a vision for who God is making you, 2) a friend has a vision for Christ being formed in you, and 3) a friend is willing to go into labor pains for it all.

If you want to be an agent of reconciliation and change and healing in the lives of others, Paul says something that applies to us all. Paul says the essence of his ministry was this: “become like me, for I became like you.” There are two sides to that sentence. Only by the power of God can you do both. But if you can do both, you can change people's lives. Here's what you need: 1) you need ministers, 2) you need the kind of ministers who understand the gospel, and 3) you need ministers who labor until Christ is formed in you.

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?

As a new Christian, I thought of salvation as taking things off of me: that my sins were taken off. But at the very same moment, there's another part of that legal transaction: something is put on me. I'm adopted as God's own son. Galatians tells us that because we're legally adopted, we have an agent—it's the Spirit. The Spirit is sent not into the world but into our hearts. And the Spirit comes to give not the objective status, which we already have, but the subjective experience of sonship. Let's break it into three things: 1) what is promised, 2) what it's like, and 3) how it comes. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 8, 1998.

The gospel insists on putting two things together that no other religion tries to put together, that all other human categories of thought insist is impossible. How is it possible to have both law and grace in your life? It's a striking apparent contradiction. In fact, if it doesn't create some tension in you, you'll never experience the glorious release Christianity can give. I'd like to pose the central question Paul asks in Galatians 3: is the law opposed to grace? I'd like to show you 1) the significance of the question and 2) the significance of the answer. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 25, 1998. Series: Galatians: New Freedom, New Family. Scripture: Galatians 3:19–29.

I don't think there's any competition on this: the cross is the single most visible and recognizable symbol in human history. It's everywhere. But what does it mean? Before Christ came, the cross was a gallows, a firing squad, a guillotine. All the cross meant was that you'd lost. It was not a symbol of strength—it was a symbol of weakness. Galatians 3 is perhaps the most complete picture on the meaning of the cross. Let's look at 1) why the cross is necessary, 2) what actually happened on the cross, and 3) how the cross makes us different.

We all have a problem with self-control, right? You can probably think of some emotion or some habit you have trouble controlling. And if you can't think of anything that's out of control, your pride is out of control. The fruit of the Spirit is a singular word, which means it's like a diamond with many facets. That's very important. Because you can manufacture a kind of self-control that is nothing more than willpower, that has nothing to do with love or joy or peace. And that's not self-control. Let's look at 1) what self-control is, 2) what self-control is not, and 3) how to get self-control. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 8, 1990. Series: Fruit of the Spirit. Scripture: Galatians 5:19-26.

In a single acorn is not only the entire tree, but all the acorns on that tree and all the acorns on that tree and so on and so forth. It's all already in that one acorn.  In the same way, a Christian already has the divine nature in them. When we talk about love, joy, peace, and patience, we're not talking about how to import these into our hearts. No. The Bible says we must grow up into our salvation. So instead of saying, “Oh, I'll never get there,” the question is: “When are you going to grow up?” We're looking at this passage on the fruit of the Spirit as a whole. Galatians 5 shows us 1) there are two natures in every Christian, 2) what it means to live in the Spirit, and 3) how we can walk in the Spirit. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 7, 1990. Series: Fruit of the Spirit. Scripture: Galatians 5:16-25.
