 True Wisdom | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 39:47

If you’re going to make it through life, you need something we hardly talk about today. It’s not identical to knowledge, and it’s not identical even to moral goodness. It’s wisdom. You’re going to make an absolute muck of your life if you don’t find and grow in wisdom. There’s no better place to go to than the book of Proverbs. As an introduction to the book, we’re looking at chapter 8, which as we go through it, we will see, shows us the importance of wisdom, the definition of wisdom, the problem of wisdom, and a clue to the solution. This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on September 12, 2004. Series "Proverbs: True Wisdom for Living". Scripture: Proverbs 8:10-16; 22-31. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel In Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

 Maker of Heaven and Earth | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 37:30

We live in a culture where the psychology class will teach that your problem is a lack of self-esteem, but the philosophy and biology classes will teach you that you are nothing. The doctrine of creation shows that the universe is not an accident and that every single human being has inherent value because they are made in the image of God. Yet, God is not merely a distant creator. God entered the world and died to redeem it because He loves us so much. This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 16, 2011. Series "To Know the Living God; The Majesty of God". Scripture: Psalm 8:1-9; Genesis 1-2; Luke 1:68; Matthew 21:14-16; Deuteronomy 7:7; John 17:19

 The King and the Furnace | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 34:05

In sixth century BC, Babylon was the preeminent power in the world, and this passage shows how they conquered Israel and deported the professional classes, including artisans, scholars, and government and military officers, in order to subjugate them through assimilation. This passage shows how Daniel and his three friends confronted the king of Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar. What happened in that confrontation? This sermon teaches three things: the pressure of pluralism, the precision of truth faith, and the promises of suffering. This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on August 21, 2011. Series "Theophany: Anticipations of Jesus in the Old Testament". Scripture: Daniel 3:14-29; 1 Peter 1:7; Job 5:7; 1 Peter 4:12; Isaiah 43:1-5

 Money and the Logic of Grace | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 39:20

Naturally we’re inclined to spend our money on ourselves and if we have any left over, we will give it to ministry and charity. However, Jesus shows us how our priorities need to change. Giving to ministry and charity must come first. Only then should we figure out how to spend the rest of our money. Yet, it is only through the Gospel that we can give so much away. It is only when we are spiritually rich that we can stop looking at money as our real wealth and security. It is only when we look forward to the resurrection that we can be assured that the sacrifices we’ve made in this life will pale in comparison to the joys awaiting us in the age to come. This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on June 20, 2010. Series "Money and Possessions - In the Teaching of St. Luke". Scripture: Luke 14:7-24

 Christ, Our Life | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 31:58

In life we are inevitably changed and shaped by the things we desire. When good things turn into ultimate things, they become idols. However, by devoting our lives to the gospel, we can give up our idols and look to Jesus, with whom we died and are now raised. This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on September 18, 2005. Series "The Vision of Redeemer". Scripture: Colossians 3:1-14

 The Dream of the Kingdom | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 46:37

How does a Christian live as a believer in an unbelieving world? God calls His people to be spiritually bi-cultural. God does not want His people to either assimilate or segregate. He wants them to become part of the city, to pray for the city and seek its peace and prosperity. Yet, God also insists that His people retain their distinctiveness and not compromise their allegiance to Him. Christians are called to love the city of man for the sake of the city of God. This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 30, 2000. Series "Daniel: Living by Faith in a Secular World". Scripture: Daniel 2:24-35, 44-46; Jeremiah 28-29; Daniel 3; Hebrews 11:10

 Neighbors | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 43:25

The parable of the Good Samaritan demonstrates a powerful example of gospel neighboring. Through examining this parable, we can recognize four elements to help us to act out the neighbored grace modeled by Jesus in our own lives: God’s mandate, magnitude, proper motivation, and method. This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 23, 2003. Series "The Meaning of Jesus Part 2; Following Him". Scripture: Luke 10:25-37

 Father, Son and Holy Spirit | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 41:05

If God was unipersonal, there would have been no love until he created the world. However, if the world was created by a triune God, then relationships of love are what life is all about. The Godhead is characterized by mutual self-giving love as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit orbit around one another in a dance. It is impossible for us to join in if we focus on ourselves, but through Jesus Christ and his sacrificial death on the cross, we can be brought into the dance. This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 15, 2006. Series "King's Cross: The Gospel of Mark, Part 1: The Coming of the King". Scripture: Mark 1:9-13; Genesis 1

 Perfect Freedom | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 43:32

The Apostle Paul examines the concept of grace and the reason why our lives must follow Christ’s example. Only through God’s grace and accepting Christ into our lives will we ever find true freedom and our true selves. This sermon was preached by Rev. 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

 Who is the Spirit? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 41:15

Many people feel as if they understand who God the Father is and who Jesus is, but they become confused about the Holy Spirit. In this sermon, Tim Keller explains who the Holy Spirit is and clarifies misunderstandings about what the Holy Spirit is not. In the process, he shows what it means for the Holy Spirit to dwell richly in us. This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on July 4, 2010. Series "The Holy Spirit". Scripture: John 14:16-26

 The Dangerous God | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 47:39

It is no accident that the Bible often refers to judgment day as “the Day of the Lord.” We live our lives as if we are the lead actors in the drama of this world. Judgment day is the day when God is paramount. On that day, all people will step back and see the world being put right when God is placed at the center of all things. This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on August 22, 1993. Series "Studies in 2 Peter". Scripture: 2 Peter 3:1-13; John 3:30; 1 John 3:2-3

 The Parable of the Pearl; On Priorities | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 44:31

Becoming a Christian is not a change of degree but a change in kind. It is leaving your native home and entering the Kingdom of God. But entering the Kingdom of God means being willing to sacrifice everything that goes against your new King. In other words, the Kingdom of God will cost you everything you have. But is it expensive? Not at all. It’s a bargain. This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on August 28, 1994. Series "The Parables of Jesus 1994". Scripture: Matthew 13:44-46

 Hope for the Poor | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 32:56

There are some churches that care about evangelism but not about serving the poor. Other churches will eagerly serve the poor but they don’t care about proclaiming the Gospel. But churches aren’t meant to do one or the other; they must do both. In fact, the two are linked. When non-Christians see Christians sacrificially serving the needy, it displays the beauty of God to them and becomes an aid to evangelism. Separately, serving the poor doesn’t just help others, but helps ourselves. One of the signs that we have truly experienced God’s love is that we can love others – in word and in deed. This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 4, 2009. Series "The Gospel, Hope, and the World". Scripture: 1 John 3:1-3, 14-20

 The Justice of God | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 37:28

** Register for the Nov 16-17 Formed for Justice Conference Livestream at https://redeemer.com/formationconference ** This passage tells us that God is a God of justice. Doing justice is not simply punishing wrong people. Doing justice also means giving the oppressed and the weak their due. How can we become people who reflect the God of justice through a life of justice? This sermon shows how you become a person of justice not just by discussing the God of justice, but by praising, worshiping, and adoring the God of justice. This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 15, 2011. Series "To Know the Living God; The Adequacy of God". Scripture: Psalm 146:1-10
