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.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 23, 1994. Series: The Nature of Faith. Scripture: Hebrews 11:8-16.

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. Series: The Nature of Faith. Scripture: Hebrews 11:5-7.

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. Series: What We Are Becoming: Transforming Love. Scripture: Ephesians 4:14-15, 25-32.

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.

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.

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.

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. Series: Christian Lifestyle. Scripture: Ephesians 5:11-17.

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.

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.?

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.?

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.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on November 9, 2014. Series: The Prayer of Prayers. Scripture: Psalm 73:1-3, 13-26.

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.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on November 2, 2014. Series: The Prayer of Prayers. Scripture: Psalm 51:1-19.

We need every bit of help we can get to learn to pray, ?Thy will be done,? because we?re going right into the teeth of our culture. 

The essence of American culture is the belief that the more free we are to decide for ourselves, the happier we?ll be. But Jesus Christ says every time you pray to God, you need to say to him, ?Thy will be done.? That goes right against probably everything you?ve been taught in our culture.

To understand this phrase, we need to see that when Jesus himself prayed it, he was in the midst of terrible agony. Let?s reflect on 1) the magnitude of that agony, 2) the immediacy of that agony, and then 3) how that helps us understand what it means to pray, ?Thy will be done? in a life-transforming way. 

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 19, 2014. Series: The Prayer of Prayers. Scripture: Matthew 26:36-46.

What does it mean to pray, ?Thy kingdom come?? 

Jesus gave us his instruction on how to pray in the Lord?s Prayer, and it?s filled with concepts you need to know from the rest of the Bible. There are two places?Matthew 5 and Luke 6?where Jesus tells us a lot about the kingdom of God and the blessedness of the kingdom.

I want to show you 1) what the kingdom of God is, 2) what it?s not, 3) what it?s like, 4) how you enter it, and 5) how that relates to prayer.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 12, 2014. Series: The Prayer of Prayers. Scripture: Luke 6:20-26, 46-49.

Hallowed is an old English word that means to treat something as sacred. It means to be captivated, astonished, melted with grateful joy for who God is and what he has done. 

For many years, I felt I didn?t know how to praise God, because nobody ever gave me specifics. As we look now at one phrase in the Lord?s Prayer, ?Hallowed be thy name,? we?ll look at five aspects that are all needed if we?re going to praise.

There are five aspects to praise and adoration: 1) thinking, 2) expressing, 3) appraising, 4) beholding, and 5) resting.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 5, 2014. Series: The Prayer of Prayers. Scripture: Psalm 63:1-11.

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.

If you?re going to deal with the brutal realities of life, the writer of Hebrews says you have to have shepherds in your life.

Hebrews is written to people whose lives are filled with problems. And here, in the last passage of Hebrews, the writer tells us if we?re gonna make it, we have to have shepherding in our lives. 

The text tells us 1) our insulting need for shepherds, 2) the surprising identity of shepherds, and 3) the secret power of the shepherds.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 8, 2005. Series: Christ: Our Treasury (The Book of Hebrews). Scripture: Hebrews 3:13; 10:24-25; 13:17-25.

When you embrace God by faith two things come into your life: a transforming power and a deep tension. It?s a duality. If you try to resolve the deep tension, you lose the transforming power. 

The writer of Hebrews says the great believers in history were resident aliens on earth. In Greco-Roman society, a resident alien was a permanent resident but not a citizen. That is the tension that anyone who wants the transforming power of God must live with.

If we want to understand the message, we need to see four things we learn in this passage: 1) there are two cities, 2) each city has a conflict with the other, 3) only one city is for the other, and 4) how to become citizens of the one city that?s for the other.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on May 1, 2005. Series: Christ: Our Treasury (The Book of Hebrews). Scripture: Hebrews 11:13-16; 13:10-16.

This passage in Hebrews seems like an anti-climax. Throughout the book, the writer gives us something to help us face the brutal realities of life. But then, Hebrews 13 seems different. At first it looks like a to-do list, like miscellaneous ethical prescriptions, but that?s wrong. 

This is not an anti-climax. What we?re being told is that we?ll never make it in life without being deeply embedded in a robust community of people who have experienced the grace of God.

This passage tells us about 1) the importance of that community, 2) the intensity of the community, 3) the openness of the community, and 4) where we get the power to create it.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 24, 2005. Series: Christ: Our Treasury (The Book of Hebrews). Scripture: Hebrews 12:28-13:9.

Hebrews was written to people who have been shaken by life. Difficulties and sufferings have shaken them to the core. 

The writer is trying to help them find ways to face the brutal realities of life, to stand solid when everything around them is falling apart. In Hebrews 12, we have the climax. The writer pulls together all of the threads and says, ?In an unstable world, here is how you can live an unshakeable life.?

This passage depicts 1) the shakable life, 2) the unshakeable life, and 3) how to receive that unshakeable life.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 17, 2005. Series: Christ: Our Treasury (The Book of Hebrews). Scripture: Hebrews 12:18-29.

There?s never been a culture with a lower pain threshold than ours. There?s never been a culture that gave us fewer resources for dealing with the brutal realities of life and death than ours. 

The writer of Hebrews wants his readers to understand how to become the kind of people who can cope with the brutal realities of life. To a great degree, the climax of his argument is here in Hebrews 12.

We?re taught here 1) life is a race, 2) why to run the race, and 3) how to run the race.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 10, 2005. Series: Christ: Our Treasury (The Book of Hebrews). Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-13.

Hebrews is written to help us have what it takes to face the difficulties of life. And in chapter 11, we?re told one of the keys is to be people of faith. But what is faith?

In our cultural moment, conservatives see faith as a moral virtue, while liberals see skepticism as a mark of intellectual maturity. As usual, the Bible?s understanding of faith is much more nuanced, much more sophisticated and complex, than either of those views. 

Life-transforming faith, according to this text, has four aspects: 1) it?s rational, 2) it?s personal, 3) it?s foundational, and 4) it?s graceful.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 3, 2005. Series: Christ: Our Treasury (The Book of Hebrews). Scripture: Hebrews 11:1-10, 13.

The book of Hebrews is written to people who are so beaten down with troubles that they?re ready to give up. 

The writer is trying to give the readers what they need to handle the brutal realities of life in this world. In Hebrews 11, he gives us something that helps us handle anything. 

If you have it, you can handle absolutely anything life throws at you: 1) what is it? and 2) how do we get it?

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on March 27, 2005. Series: Christ: Our Treasury (The Book of Hebrews). Scripture: Hebrews 11:32-40.

When modern people hear that God requires blood to turn aside his wrath from sin, it sounds offensive. It sounds disgusting, primitive, obscene. 

Christianity has sometimes been called the religion of the slaughterhouse. It doesn?t seem to be what we need in a world that?s filled with blood and violence. But Jesus saves through his blood. And the book of Hebrews says there?s power in the blood. 

Without the shedding of blood, Hebrews says we wouldn?t know three things: 1) the depth of our problem, 2) the power of God?s solution, and 3) the extent of the transformation that can happen to us.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on March 20, 2005. Series: Christ: Our Treasury (The Book of Hebrews). Scripture: Hebrews 9:11-14; 10:11-18.

Jesus Christ did not come to start a new religion. He didn?t come to start the best religion. He came to end religion.

Every religion has its extremists. Religion causes an enormous amount of conflict and strife in this world. What are we going to do about it? To embrace Jesus Christ is to end religion, is to move away from all religion. 

There are two things Hebrews 8 tells us: 1) Jesus came to end all religion and, 2) therefore, Jesus came to give us a radical new covenant relationship with God.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on March 13, 2005. Series: Christ: Our Treasury (The Book of Hebrews). Scripture: Hebrews 8:1-2; 7-13.

To be able to handle life, there?s nothing more practical than to know that Jesus is your advocate.

This isn?t just an abstract doctrinal issue. Because this whole book of Hebrews is written not as a theological treatise, but as a piece of intense pastoral counseling. 

So let?s ask three questions: 1) why do we need an advocate? 2) how is Jesus Christ the advocate we need? and 3) what difference will it make in your life if you receive him as such?

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on March 6, 2005. Series: Christ: Our Treasury (The Book of Hebrews). Scripture: Hebrews 7:18-27.

The book of Hebrews is telling us we?ll never make it through life without counseling?daily counseling.

A main theme of Hebrews is that life in this world is a journey, spiritually speaking, through a wilderness. In verse 13, it says the only way we?re going to get through it is with this little word: the Greek word, parakale?. It?s often translated as encouragement, but it comes closest to what we today would call counseling. 

Let?s ask the text these questions: 1) why do we need counseling? 2) what kind of counseling do we need? 3) who can give it to us? and 4) how do we receive it?

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 27, 2005. Series: Christ: Our Treasury (The Book of Hebrews). Scripture: Hebrews 3:12-13; 4:14-5:7.

Hebrews is written to first-century, urban people who are so weary with troubles and difficulties that they?re in danger of giving up. What do they need? 

It?s pretty obvious from this passage what the writer is trying to get across: because eight times in eleven verses we see the word ?rest.? It?s not just a crucial message for them, but for us too. We live in a culture that?s probably more in need of this message than any other culture in history. 

This passage shows us 1) the importance of rest, 2) the two levels of rest, 3) the ordeal you need to go through in order to get rest, and 4) the author of rest.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 20, 2005. Series: Christ: Our Treasury (The Book of Hebrews). Scripture: Hebrews 4:1-13.

The book of Hebrews is written to a group of urban, first-century Christians who were struggling with fear and discouragement because their lives were so filled with troubles. 

The question this book asks is if God loves us so much, why are our lives so hard? In almost every passage, the answer it gives is that fear and discouragement can be dealt with by looking at Jesus. 

Hebrews 2 says if you really want to deal with fear and discouragement in your life, you need to see that Jesus is 1) the king who gets involved with us, 2) the captain who faces death for us, and 3) the brother who is proud of us.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 13, 2005. Series: Christ: Our Treasury (The Book of Hebrews). Scripture: Hebrews 2:5-18.

If God is so committed to our joy and our glory, if he loves us so much, why is our life so hard? 

That?s what the book of Hebrews is about and the answer, in a nutshell, is life is a journey. It?s a journey from weariness into rest. It?s a journey from alienation into the presence of God. It?s a journey from isolation into the city of God. And the only way you?re going to get home is by fixing your eyes on Jesus. The whole idea of Hebrews is you don?t get home through bursts, through sprints, but in a sustained, long-term way. 

In Hebrews 1 and 2, we learn what Jesus has to do with this question: 1) what he brings, 2) why he brings it; and 3) how it can change our lives.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on February 6, 2005. Series: Christ: Our Treasury (The Book of Hebrews). Scripture: Hebrews 1:1-4; 2:1-4.

Psalm 126 has always helped me. It has never filled my soul with glory. It has always made me quiet and reflective. Because it?s a perfect overview of the emotional life that the life of faith brings.

You?re going to weep. In this world, you will weep. But how are you weeping? What are you doing with your sorrows? They need to be sown. They need to be invested. They need to be planted, in a sense, or they need to water.

Psalm 126 tells us 3 things about how we?re supposed to address our sorrows: 1) it tells us to expect weeping, 2) it tells us to expect new kinds of tears, and 3) it tells us to sow our tears. 

But let me say there are three principles: 1) the life of faith is a life of both rejoicing and weeping, 2) the life of faith is a life of greater rejoicing and greater weeping, and 3) the life of faith is a life of interdependent rejoicing and weeping.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on July 13, 1997. Series: Happiness and Weeping. Scripture: Psalm 126.

Jesus tells his disciples that no one will take away their joy. Now that?s pretty amazing. He knows to whom he is talking. He is speaking to men who are going to be persecuted. They?re going to be robbed of everything they own. They?re going to be tortured. They?re going to be put to death.

The Bible says there is a joy that is not subject to circumstances, that the deepest troubles can?t put out, that can coexist and overwhelm the greatest grief. And these three verses in Romans 8 have the heart of it. In these three verses, you have three principles. This is the basis for joy.

Your joy will be strong to the degree you understand and grasp these three things: 1) our bad things turn out for good, 2) our good things can never be lost, and 3) the best things are yet to come.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on July 6, 1997. Series: Happiness and Weeping. Scripture: Romans 8:28-30.
