that crying baby in the background is now almost 30
Im happy bc tomorrow night is Bible Study.
Thank you Lord for teaching us through Tim Keller. We pray for his walk and continued growth in you.
Jim Heinlein why pray? What does prayer do. If you actually think about what prayer is and should do it can create strange paradoxes
@@ActionParsnip, you are a serious block of wood. Why do you spend precious time?
Keller is so excellent. Through him I really understand the concepts that were so foreign to me even after years of studying the Bible and the Word of God.
Mimi Kazan how do you know that it's the right deity? How do you know your god exists? What methods were used and how was it measured please?
How did the universe come about?
1. The universe is an illusion.
2. The universe created itself.
3. The universe is eternal.
4. There is someone outside the universe that created everything.
There is only one God.
God is the first, uncaused cause. Creation is enough to know there is a creator.
When you see a building you know there was a builder.
Faye Lewis the actual answer is "we don't know". There are scientists trying to work this question out. It may be an intelligent agent but you are committing the god of the gaps fallacy. "we don't know, so god did it". It's a terrible thing to think and if we applied that to everything we wouldn't have the innovation we enjoy today. In fact, your religion has held innovation and discovery back for centuries.
You have also opened up some more questions along with your fallacy
- why was it god? Please provide evidence
- why did he make all the things he made? Please provide evidence
- why is it specifically your god that did all this? How do you know (for certain) that it wasn't Zeus or Pan? Again, please provide your evidence.
Please note that quoting or paraphrasing the bible isn't evidence of anything. It's just another fallacy.
most of your points are ok, but don't say Christianity has held science back. Do you know who George Washington Carver is, if you are even slightly educated at least you'll know he was a very intelligent African American scientist. He discovered multiple uses for peanuts and its oils, among other things, and he was a devout Christian. Leonardo Da Vinci, responsible for a lot of what people knew about early medicine and of course his paintings, he was some sort of pseudo-catholic mixed with Neo-Platonist. Like Tim mentioned, there's also Blaise Pascal who was a Christian. Isaac Newton was a devout Christian. Albert Einstein said, "Science without religion is lame." Christianity does NOT go against science, the Bible encourages us to learn about the world God made and use it. Even Stephen Hawking admitted before he died that there had to have been some sort of supernatural being. He believed in intelligent design. The Universe is far too advanced, brains to complex, everything is too specific to believe that it originated from nothing. Why do we believe it happened the way the bible says, because as a historical document the bible has more than 98% accuracy, and the remaining 2% is shady stuff, that could have been lost in translation or things that people making the assessments simply won't accept because of bias. The crucifiction has undeniable evidence, there are letters recovered that were sent among regional roman leaders to the leaders in Rome about the crucifiction and about the man named Jesus. The burial places of bible characters have been found with their bible names engraved on the graves. But really none of this matters, empirical evidence is not enough, it only lead me to consider Christianity, but I didn't realize how true everything was, I didn't feel it until I gave it a chance. God can change your life but you must first tear down your walls.
Andrew Woodhead, go seek elsewhere, agent of the dark lord, you are a fool and a knave, who is lost. Come back when you are genuinely seeking. The Christ was resurrected which proved who He was from.
Amen, thanks for this sermon...I never tire of hearing a true spirit share the word to us from Our Father in Heaven...
This sermon was given before I was born!
Same here :)
Casey5693 me toooooo seems so strange
and I was 10
My mother was pregnant with me at the time.

Grace and forgiveness are truly the bottom line, because the Lordship Salvation preached commonly now places a yoke on us that we can't carry. Throughout the sanctification process, we undoubtedly relinquish more and more of our will and seek the Lord's will more and more but it's likely we remain willful to a great degree. The text about the people saying Lord, Lord is most definitely an illustration of people depending on their works for salvation. It's pleasing to hear Rev. Keller make this point. Many of his colleagues use the text to support their belief in Lordship Salvation, a works-based doctrine. Thankfully, God the Father, though He spared Isaac, did not spare His Son. His finished work is what we rest on.
Absolutely loved everything Tim said. Currently one of my favorite Bible teachers. Maybe I missed it but I didn't hear anything about those who practice lawlessness or another translation renders it workers of iniquity. I think that would line up with the part about surrendering our will completely to Christ. I hope this doesn't come across as being nit picky. Just thought it is a big part of what Jesus is bringing to light in this text. Again, a very amazing teaching Mr. Keller. God bless you my brother.
Tim service is a true light to Christianity and yet I am troubled. I am not troubled by Tim’s teachings but rather his Presbyterian views. If we were saved by God’s grace alone then why bother your fate is sealed or pre ordained and you know this is not true. Yes of course God wants us to obey him but that’s not the point, what God needs is that we take joy in obeying him because we fear and recognize him as the author of salvation.Some things that God commands us to do might not be joyful but they are truthful and meaningful,which in turn bears fruit. Do you think that when God breathed life into us he determined who he is going to pour his grace on and who he was not. The time has come that we all unite in one church,one body in the blood of Jesus Christ.
Nick Voutsas, saved by grace requires a change of the heart. Grace runs thru any true church of Christ.
EXACTLY!!!
23:51 lol! Don't worry Tim, I think we all know what you meant to say!
Reassuring questions for me. I will try asking them in talking to others.
I think there's a tiny gap in Tim's teaching here. Namely that Jesus says in V.24 "Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man..." He does not say "Everyone who believes in the atonement of mine will be like a wise man..." and if you read the sermon on the mount there's nothing but raw and juicy law which is to do as it is the will of the Father.
I chewed on this the last night and then I read some of Matthew and I think that if I'd ask the matthean Jesus if "this words of mine" do mean words of his outside of the sermon on the mount too he'd surely say "Yes, of course!". Then I find that Matthew added in Mt26,28 "for the forgiveness of sins" to the words of institution of Mark in Mk 14,23. So there I find the missing piece to fill the tiny gap mentioned in the beginning.
I connect all this in the following way: Jesus says "Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man" and then he says too "Take, eat; this is my body" and “Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." The Lord's Supper needs to be added to all the deeds which Jesus asks from us here in Mt 5-7. With this you get a circle: I try to follow the law as Jesus fills it full in the SotM and I can't so I go an take part in the Lord's Supper and I start again and it is important that I start again because it is meant as a cycle. Everything alive lives in cycles: the body does and like the heart does in the body so does the Lord's Supper and it's forgivness of sins in a christian's life. Every day is like a cycle and like the times of eating and resting do so does the Lord's Supper. But the body is not only heart and a day is not only eating and sleeping. The body has hands and muscles and a working mind and a day has work and meetings.
His body and his blood are the fuel for what I can accomplish of his law of love and the rest for what I can't accomplish today.
And then there are the unauthentic Christians and I think they don't live in this lively cycle. They just accomplish as they say to the Lord. And they do their things out of themselves, out of their right doctrine and out of their emotions and out of their social power and they do great things but they are not alive like a living body is or like a day well lived is where his body and blood are my food and my rest and my joy and my center.
