Confident in the Advocate
May 1Tap to summarizeIn the old tales, if they were sending people out on a quest, they always gave them special gifts with special powers. That’s what Jesus is doing in John 14—he’s sending his disciples (us) out into the world. The night before he dies, Jesus is giving mighty gifts with special powers to his disciples and to us. And of all the gifts that he gives, the greatest gift possible is this one: the Holy Spirit. Let’s see what we learn in this passage about 1) who the Spirit is, 2) what the Spirit does, and 3) why the Spirit can do it. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 5, 2017. Series: Jesus, Mission, and Glory: New Confidence. Scripture: John 14:16-26.

Transcribe →Confident in Prayer
Apr 29Tap to summarizeGod sent Jesus into the world to say the things he said and do the things he did — and it got him killed. Now Jesus is sending us into the world, and we should probably expect at least a hard time. In John 14, Jesus gives us gifts for the journey, gifts that will equip us for the difficult work of being his representatives. One of those great gifts is prayer. And if anybody is saying, “Oh, yeah, I know. What else?” then you don’t know. I don’t think any of us really know. Prayer is a mighty gift, and in a sense, everything we need to know about prayer is locked in one verse. We’re going to look at 1) the power of prayer, 2) the conditions for prayer, 3) the purpose of prayer, and 4) the foundation of prayer. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 29, 2017. Series: Jesus, Mission, and Glory: New Confidence. Scripture: John 14:12-15.

Transcribe →Confident in Love
Apr 27Tap to summarizePhilip asks Jesus for something I think most of us can identify with. He asks Jesus to actually show them God. And at this, Jesus is exasperated. Philip’s saying, “We believe in God, but it’s hard. So give us just one view, and that will be enough for the rest of our lives.” And essentially, Jesus says, “I’m offering you something greater than a vision, that through me you can know God.” Let’s look at 1) what is possible, that through Jesus we can know God, 2) how it’s possible, and 3) why it’s possible. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 22, 2017. Series: Jesus, Mission, and Glory: New Confidence. Scripture: John 14:7-11.

Transcribe →Confident in Hope
Apr 24Tap to summarizeTrouble will come. And because we’re going to have trouble, Jesus says he wants to give us something so that our hearts are not troubled by the trouble. John 14 begins and ends with Jesus saying, “I don’t want you to be troubled.” So what is it that Jesus does to give us confidence and strength to face life as it is? The first thing Jesus gives us to help us deal with the troubles of life is the knowledge of a real home for us. Jesus tells us 1) there’s a real home he’s preparing for us, 2) it’s in heaven, and 3) the road to it is through hell.

Transcribe →Our Power: Spirit-Filled Living
Apr 17Summary readyLiving 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. Series: Following Jesus. Scripture: 2 Peter 1:3-11.

SummaryOur Cross: Path of Suffering
Apr 15Summary readyThe book of 1 Peter is probably more about suffering than anything else. It might be the only book in the New Testament completely devoted to the subject of suffering. And it shows us that going through trials, troubles, and sufferings is one of the main ways in which we grow into Christlikeness. So let’s see what we learn here about 1) the inevitability of suffering, 2) the good potential of suffering, and 3) the disciplines of suffering. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on June 1, 2014. Series: Following Jesus. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:6-9.

SummaryOur Call: Holy Living
Apr 1300:38:40Summary readyWhen we become Christians we don’t just turn over a new leaf, we’re spiritually raised with Christ and his resurrection power comes into our lives. And so, what does such an empowered life look like? We’re called to be holy, but this is a difficult term to get ahold of. In our modern culture, both the word “sin” and the word “holiness” are almost never used anymore except ironically. But we need to take it seriously. So let’s ask 1) what is holiness? 2) how does it grow and develop in us? and 3) why is it possible to be holy? This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 18, 2014. Series: Following Jesus. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:13-16.

SummaryOur Identity: Joyful Exiles
Apr 1000:43:13Summary readyJesus’ resurrected power is in our lives now. Even though we are not yet bodily resurrected, Christians are, according to Ephesians 2, raised with Christ and knowing the power of his resurrection. What does that mean? What does it mean to live that kind of life? What kind of life should we live now in light of the resurrection of Jesus? Let’s look at 1) how we’re supposed to live as Christians, 2) the test by which we know whether we’re living that way, and 3) the power by which we can live that way. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 11, 2014. Series: Following Jesus. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:1-2.

SummaryOur Birth: Cosmic
Apr 800:36:40Summary readyWhen we unite with Jesus Christ, his resurrection power comes into our lives. Even though we believe we’ll be resurrected in our bodies at the end of time, there is already a spiritual resurrection that happens to us now. What does that look like? Looking at this text, we can see 1) what happened, 2) where it happens, 3) how it keeps happening, and 4) why it happens. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 4, 2014. Series: Following Jesus. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:3-12.

SummaryEncountering the Risen Jesus
Apr 600:45:31Summary readyJesus’ resurrection isn’t supposed to just change history—it’s supposed to change you and me. The New Testament everywhere says we should expect to encounter the risen Christ. And that’s how our lives are changed. Peter is a case study for us, because we have here the story of how the resurrected Christ sat down with Peter at the fire by the Sea of Galilee—about how Peter’s life had fallen apart and how the risen Christ put it back together. How do we, too, meet and encounter the risen Christ? We learn four principles here: if you want to encounter the risen Christ, 1) you have to believe in the resurrection’s reality, 2) you have to understand its achievement, 3) you have to submit to its pattern, and 4) you have to live its life. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 27, 2014. Series: Following Jesus. Scripture: Mark 14:27-31.
