Clothed With Power (Easter)
Apr 300:30:52Summary readyEaster is too marvelous for words, but we’re going to try. Luke 24 is an account of the resurrection: from the morning when the empty tomb was discovered, to the middle of the day when Jesus appeared on the road to Emmaus, to the evening when Jesus appeared to his disciples. And in that evening account, we see that Jesus said a number of things to his disciples. We can learn three things about the resurrection of Jesus Christ from what happens that evening: 1) the resurrection of Jesus Christ is a paradigm-shattering historical event, 2) the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the key to understanding the message of the entire Bible, and 3) the resurrection is the strongest message of hope possible. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 20, 2014. Series: Knowing Jesus. Scripture: Luke 24:36-49.

SummaryWorship (Palm Sunday)
Apr 100:38:43Summary readyFor centuries now, on the Sunday before Easter, the church has observed the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem just days before he was crucified. It’s called Palm Sunday. What does Palm Sunday mean? It means Jesus is king, and it’s important to see that’s not just an abstract proposition. Palm Sunday is about this: you can’t know Jesus Christ unless you know him as king. He can’t change your life unless you understand him as king. You can’t even understand who he is unless you understand him as king. Luke 19 teaches us 1) Jesus is the true king, 2) Jesus is the weak king, and 3) how he can be your king. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 13, 2014. Series: Knowing Jesus. Scripture: Luke 19:28-40.

SummaryMission
Mar 3000:42:20Summary readyChristianity gives us resources to help us live in a world that’s hard to live in. And in Luke 5, we see a resource we wouldn’t immediately think of as one — that is, that when Jesus calls us, he sends us out into the world to serve. Serving other people is draining, but it’s also strengthening. Because if you see that you should live for your neighbor’s fulfillment rather than your own fulfillment, paradoxically, that becomes a very fulfilling life. Jesus sends us out in three ways: 1) he sends us with our faith out into our work, 2) he asks us to take our faith out to the marginalized of society, and 3) he asks us to go out and help change people’s hearts toward God. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on March 16, 2014. Series: Knowing Jesus. Scripture: Luke 5:4-25.

SummaryThe Healing
Mar 1600:40:51Summary readyI’ve heard people say, “Oh, I wish I had his faith, or her faith,” as if faith is a talent. And I do think there’s a kind of faith that’s a temperament—people who are more trusting or more skeptical—but that’s not saving faith. There is no type of person who becomes a Christian. Saving faith, the faith that brings you eternal life, is for everyone. And Jesus’ miraculous sign in John 4 teaches us about this faith. In this passage, we learn that life-giving faith 1) starts with reason, 2) has to move beyond reason to trust, 3) grows beautiful and pure where gold grows beautiful and pure, 4) saves by its object, not its quality, and 5) comes to love Jesus for who he is in himself, not for the benefits he gives. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 26, 2014. Series: Seeing Jesus. Scripture: John 4:46-54.

SummaryThe Lamb
Mar 1100:42:15Summary readyPeople come up to John the Baptist and say, “What is your identity? What is your self-understanding?” That has a very contemporary ring to it. And it has quite a bit to do with us. We’re looking at the life of Jesus and who Jesus is. In the second half of John 1, in this encounter with John the Baptist, we learn that Jesus is the Lamb of God. So we ask, “What does that mean for us?” Let’s take a look at 1) John’s view of himself, 2) John’s view of Jesus, 3) the resulting personality and character that flows from those two views, and 4) what that means for us. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 12, 2014. Series: Seeing Jesus. Scripture: John 1:19-34.

SummaryIn the Beginning
Mar 9Tap to summarizeYou can’t really understand the real Jesus if you only look at his birth and his death. You must also look at his words and his deeds during his life. To study the words and deeds of Jesus, we’re going to look in the Gospel of John, starting with John 1. It’s one of the most famous passages of the Bible, with too much great stuff to possibly discuss it all. So I’d like to give a top-level view of it, looking at the three main parts: 1) a radical, amazing claim, 2) the rejection of the claim, and 3) the answer to the objections to and rejection of the claim. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 5, 2014. Series: Seeing Jesus. Scripture: John 1:1-14.

Transcribe →The Cornerstone
Mar 600:29:02Summary readyIn ancient architecture, the cornerstone was the first stone laid, and it had to be the most perfectly cut stone and the strongest stone. Because, you see, what the cornerstone is, the house is. If the dimensions of the cornerstone are off, the house is off. If the cornerstone is true, the house is true. If the cornerstone crumbles in any way, the entire house will be compromised or lost. All of this is the background to when Peter says this about Jesus: “Come to him, to that living Capstone which is the Cornerstone, rejected by men but chosen by God, for it is written, ‘Whoever trusts in him will never be put to shame.’” This metaphor of the cornerstone tells us 1) Jesus is to be our life’s foundation, 2) Jesus is our federal head, and 3) Jesus is to be the love of our life.
