I love this teaching! NO theatrics, no emotional manipulation, no yelling and pontificating . . .just a gifted teacher sharing truth from God's word. This is the stuff that changes hearts and has lasting value. The lost world can listen and consider rather than be repulsed by the "show" so many put on. Thank you, Dr. Keller, for teaching in a way that honors God's word and recognizes no theatrics are needed. Truth penetrates on it's own.
Hi My sister This is my advice to you out of compassion for you: Read the Holy Quran for in it is admonition. And it warns you. It is a harbinger of severe torment.
And feeling abandoned could kill u with depression. U struggle w. those thoughts for life. That’s y some wanted death instead of feeling so horrible all the time.
@@marioa-b5345 I think she was referring to how at the cross, Jesus cried out to the Father, "Why have you forsaken me?" as He paid the price for our sins so we can have forgiveness in Him. God bless you :)
Thirty four years ago a dear friend told me that a new pastor was starting a church in our city and he wanted to visit it. So we went to Redeemer Presbyterian Church in 1989 and we met Tim Keller. I was a baby Christian at the time and had never been taught the foundations of my faith or sound theology until I started listening to Pastor Tim. He informed my faith and set my feet upon the Rock, our Lord. I’ve been to many churches and heard many sermons since those early years but I can’t remember any of them. Only Tim’s teaching and preaching still remains in my heart and the Holy Spirit brings his words back to me when I need them most. I also want you to know that he is one of the kindest Christian pastors I have ever know met. He is genuine, honest, gentle, respectful and he really loves the body of Christ. I’m so glad that he is beyond his earthly sufferings now and is finally home with Jesus. Finally I would just like to address those who have questioned his worth or demeaned Tim’s name in some of the comments I have read here. Was Tim perfect? Absolutely not! And, I too believe that he missed the mark on at least two accounts in his later years. His social justice advocacy stance I believe was not biblical and his seeker friendly approach to evangelism saddened me. However, God used him mightily to save thousands of unbelievers, to plant many other biblically based churches and, to those who knew him personally, be a strong witness of the gentle power, humility and love of Jesus Christ. We have receive abundant (undeserved) Mercy and are called to be vessels of mercy and not of wrath. What Tim has given to me and myriads of others is beyond description and eternally precious! This teaching video has brought comfort to many of us who have listened. The Grace of God was truly on Tim’s life until the end. Blessed and Merciful Father God, please help us to be as loving as our brother and your servant Tim Keller. God bless you all!✝️❣️🙏
I’m from Wuhan, China, we are suffering from the coronavirus, only God’s Word can comfort me, thank you for the video, may God help healing all the patients and strength our faith
Watching in 4/10/24. Darkest moment of my life with a liver tumour the size of 10cm. But I felt God is with me as I cried out to him. He will not leave nor forsake me. Pray for me that the tumour will grow smaller and doesn't require surgery. I declared that by the stripes of Jesus Christ, I am healed. Amen
Rest in peace Ps Tim Keller. Your writings have always inspired me and ignited hope within. I’m thankful for your work and am glad you’re now enjoying forever with Jesus.
Tim Keller is the gift that keeps on giving even in his passing. Thank you for the sermon, the wisdom, the teaching. I guess now God needs you more in heaven. Truly a Haeman of his generation. Thank you God for using him to make sense of You more ❤
Please saints. Pray for me. I feel as though I am in darkness now. Suffering a great trial with prolonged sickness that has no end in sight. May God strengthen and uphold me. May I find my strength in Christ and grow and see His mercy. May I find healing too! I actually feel bad to ask the Lord for healing aswell, although I know He heals and delights in that - if that is His will.
“I’m your God not because you put on a happy face in the morning, I’m your God not because you do everything right all the time or get it right a lot... I’m your God because I’m a God of GRACE” ♥️
1:55 I have watched this about 7 times over the last year and shared it with many friends. This sermon is one of many of Keller’s that touched me deeply. I miss him much but know he will be fully restored on that glorious morning when we see Jesus❤
For me this has been the most meaningful sermon I ever listened to. The first time I listened to this, on my commute home, there I was, behind the wheel, bawling my eyes out. Whenever life is hard, I need this sermon. I don't know how many times I've listened to this. An amazing amazing powerful sermon.
''suffering is painful and terrible...but half the pain is from the false expectations. half the pain you're experiencing is not from the suffering but from those false expectations. this shouldnt happen to me. a servant is not above his master. remember Jesus suffered. im not above Him. when we're in despair, we often exaggerate. the very presence of those prayers (ps 39 & ps 88) in the bible...show us that God understands how we speak when we're desperate, in despair. Im your God not bcos you put on a happy face in the morning. Im your God not bcos you say everything right. Im your God not bcos you do everything right. Im your God bcos Im a God of Grace.'' AMEN! This blessed me so much! Thank you Tim! You are still blessing us.
From C.S. Lewis' Screwtape Letters, Chapter 8 : "Be not deceived, Wormwood, our cause is never more in jeopardy than when a human, no longer desiring but still intending to do our Enemy's will, looks round upon a universe in which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys."
@@joanhowland4141 May Jesus be close to you in your darkness and may the God of all comfort wrap His mighty arms around you and bring you peace and strength.❤️❤️❤️
I found out last Sunday at church Mr Keller passed away. Our minister was deeply affected by the sad news. He considered Mr Keller a mentor. Prayers for his family
How did he transform your life? Keller was frown upon by many respectable prominent Christians scholars who found him to be a heretic. He was more into urban humanist Christianity, a hippie guru love gospel where love cures all things. Very much removed from the core message of the gospel. Please study him and you will see he was very controversial, if not he had a lot of disturbing messages that did not align with the gospel. Also I left the NYC Redeemer bc of the tone, message and style of the church, super worldly, hipster, and always without fail a humanist message of urban love rather than the love of Jesus Christ of repentance.
This hits home. For 7 years I was facing death dealing with an illness with unending pain, but worst of all i knew that i would be leaving my disabled single mother behind in this world. I grew to know darkness deeply and intimately and empathize with every murderer and evildoer throughout history. Like this man in the Bible i cursed and wrestled with God buti can say now that because of how far and stubborn I was, God needed to deal this heavy blow. But moreso than that, God wanted me back. I'm still traumatized and broken but I am growing in every way that matters. Getting pretty healthy too.
@@enterty4364 1. God is the one that gifts us faith. Faith isn't something that we can attain through our own works. That said, we can ask God to grant us this faith. 2. Just as how there are trillions of organisms in the universe, God's faith can be given in any way he sees fit. Whether that's through scripture, a sequence of events, a small seed of faith that's been given as a child, or a crushing blow to the core of our very being -- all we can do is make a genuine decision to accept that seed of faith and press forward and invest in the relationship to truly see for yourself where the relationship takes you. 3. As with all relationships, you need to invest your heart and time into it. That's what God wants and that's one of the ways in which the seed can grow. I wish you all the best.
@@enterty4364 Instead of trying to say the exact right words and do something to recieve it, you may just pour your heart to God, ask Him for help and trust in Jesus. I pray for you both
Thank you....a hug from God in this message. My husband went through so much physical illness and mental PTSD but never ever gave up on God. His last few text/thoughts before being called home were God is Good and I don't understand but I still trust Him. He struggled to feel God but never gave up in believing. A legacy for his kids and I. Thank you Pastor Keller for explaining so well God's truth. I learn so much.
A wonderful message… so encouraging and what I needed to hear in this moment in 2024. Thank you Timothy Keller who I know has passed from his darkness into the very presence of God.
Music he is confounded. Everybody needs to know this! The whole world is drunk on the doctrines of Babylon! INCLUDING and ESPECIALLY the visible Christian church. PLEASE if you can sense the deadness of the institutional churches and different ministries but can't put your finger on it. I'm pleading with you to understand something very important here. The mainstream Christian system is not of God. Rev 17:5 - "Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots, And Abominations Of The Earth." Mystery Babylon The Great is the Vatican - “And the woman which thou sawest, is that great Citie which reigneth ouer the kings of the earth.” - Rev 17:18 And she has harlot daughters which represent the protestant churches. And “the Abominations Of The Earth” are corrupt scriptures. And the final bible that will unite all faiths is called Wormwood/the Abomination of desolation. cvillebiblebaptist.com/AdultEducation/Vatican%20and%20United%20Nations%20Bible.pdf And Jesus Christ is calling His people out.
Rev 18:4 “And I heard another voice from heauen, saying, Come out of her, my people, that yee be not partakers of her sinnes, and that yee receiue not of her plagues:” The most important thing to understand is that GOD CAN BE TRUSTED to preserve His word for every generation forever as He promises us in Psalms 12:6-7 and you do not need men to teach you. 1 John 2:27 “But the anointing which ye haue receiued of him, abideth in you: and yee need not that any man teach you: But, as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is trueth, and is no lye: and euen as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” It’s vital to know, especially right now, that God has kept His word in tact. There is still an every word testimony with us! The following clip by Reg Block is what the Lord used to open my eyes to the truth of Gods promises in Mark 13:31, Psalm 12:6-7, Psalms 138:2, and Matt 4:4 and so on. It’s not more lifeless information. It is powerful and life changing and I’m grateful for it! ruclips.net/video/tAMOquyQu-8/видео.html The next video is a lesson by John Doerr on the pure word of God in the English language, which is found in the av1611 kjv. This is a much different testimony than the King James bible you are able to easily find in the churches and the so called "Christian bookstores". Please pray and genuinely take this before the Lord. He will show you. (Prepare to be attacked once you start down this path) The devil and his ministers don’t want this going out. ruclips.net/video/C9lIWdQ0rc0/видео.html I prayed a long time to know what the truth was, because over the years I grew increasingly confused, frustrated, misguided and so on.. But like most of us, I kept returning to church Sunday after next hoping something would change. If I sang more, prayed harder, got more involved, etc, ...maybe something would give. But nothing ever did. I must have walked a thousand isles. It had gotten to a point where a friend at the time said, “just try and sing". He meant well, but it was always disingenuous so I never did. Long story short - my whole Christian life was that way until recently. (powerless) God has since opened my eyes and I trust Him alone. I really hope this reaches somebody. If this is you... honestly, please look into what I’m saying. God is rich in mercy and His patience is unmatched. He's been drawing me for a long time. Maybe He’s drawing you too and this is the message you needed.

Keller seems good. Do a little more digging. Look up tim Keller and Marxism, you will probably get some results. Or tim Keller and critical race theory. He mixes the gospel with current popular political ideas.
@@prayunceasingly2029 Keller doesn't do extremes with his politics. He falls in the middle somewhere. There is some truth on the left as there is on the right. If you can't see that I don't know what to tell you.
I love Tim Keller, and will deeply miss his presence here on Earth, for now. His words always resonated with so much truth and wisdom, and shone hope into the darkest times in my life where nothing else seemed to penetrate. He always had such a logical, straightforward approach to explaining even the most difficult topics. His teaching will forever have an immense impact on my life as a Christian and I will take take heart from the fact that he is finally in the midst of that eternal joy of our creator:)
Thank you Pastor Timothy Keller for reminding me that in times of deep darkness I can never be abandoned because by Grace my salvation is fully in tact through Jesus who was confronted with total darkness and overcame. (Missing you only until we meet again...)
This Psalmist prayer is not blasphemy or insult to God. This prayer is being honest with God. This sounds exactly like me. I show my frustration to God. God is a good listener. There is no one in this entire world who will genuinely listens to how you are feeling in dark times. Its only God. He can handle it. God is never upset with me because of my honesty. God listens and then He comforts you. He embraces you after all that.
I have been floundering a bit trying to find someone who speaks to what I feel. Thank you Dr. Keller for this sermon and for sharing your understanding. I have come to understand what you speak about but have felt alone in my circumstances. Hearing another human articulate it has soothed my despair and given me continued hope. Thanks also to whoever uploaded this talk. God bless you all for your service!
This is the best sermon on suffering I've ever heard. I desperately needed something that avoided platitudes and honestly acknowledged true pain and how to hold onto God whilst maintaining authenticity.
I've been going through one of my darkest periods right now, emotionless, disconnected, finding it hard to pray, almost convinced I've committed the unpardonable sin. But after hearing all this, and knowing- REALLY knowing what Jesus went through for me... I broke down sobbing. My dark period is nothing next to what he went through. Just enough, *just in time.* Thank you, Jesus. 😭 It's only now that I've come to realize the depth of your love for me.
I hope you are in a better place, especially in light of the virus and riots. If you are afraid that you committed the unpardonable sin, that means you haven't. Ask for forgiveness then accept it and forgive yourself. God bless you.

This sermon is certainly the most pertinent I've ever heard. While I've only been a follower of Jesus for a few years, the tenor of Psalm 88 generslly captures how I've felt since I was young. And while I have certainty now that Jesus died for us, still the darkness keeps invading my heart; but it's made all the more bearable because of that certainty, and it is this very sermon I just watched that has propped another pillar under this weary soul. Thank you, Chris, for sending me this; Thank you, Pastor Tim, God rest your soul, for so powerfully preaching on this subject; And thank you, Jesus Christ my savior, for loving us all so. Thank you, God.
I thank God that He brought me to listen to your preaching Dr. Tim Keller. I don't know how hopeless my condition might have been had I not heard your preaching. Your life has been a tremendous force for the Lord in millions of lives like mine. Thank you.
Co-sign! I watched this days before he died and I am back here again. What an inspiration he was in the way he lived through illness - what a witness. His life has been such a blessing. Well done, Timothy.
When Ps Tim brought Jesus into the picture at the end of the message, everything, including our pain and suffering fell into place. My pain is incomparable to what Christ suffered for me on the cross. He was a Man of Sorrows and acquainted with grief.
What a beautiful reminder that our God is rock solid in goodness, faithfulness and grace. He does not run away from us in our weakness, pain and suffering but carries us through, working it all for good and for His glory. Hallelujah! 🙏🏻🙌🏻
2nd time watching this, in awe of this quote: “When you go through darkness if you don’t feel God’s there. But you hold on anyway, and you say, "you know what you’re God and I’m not and I’m not getting anything out of this but I’m still going to pray, I’m still gonna go to church and worship I’m still going to love my neighbor I’m still gonna do the things I ought to do..That will turn you into a person not self-centered not in a transactional relationship up and down all the time it’ll turn you into a person of endurance, of stability, of strength, of greatness…" -Tim Keller: How to deal with dark times. Amen! Thank you Lord for this encouragement. It is so hard when we go through darkness even to the point when darkness is our closest friend. Yet You taught us Lord that it is okay to pray of our struggles and to feel the despairs of life. Thank you Lord for giving us hope through Jesus who experienced total darkness and overcame it all. Post tenebras spero lucem...
I think I’ve watched this 5 times... wanting to remember EVERY WORD. Our son took his life 04/26/2019...nearly a year later, i am limping through life. I have said words similar to Heman... darkness IS sometimes my only friend, but I still get up each morning and get dressed...attend church every Sunday... but my heart still does not “feel” God’s love & comfort. I know it will eventually...and I have never been angry at God...
Im going thorugh the darkest times of my entire 47 years. Never experienced despair quite like this. Only Jesus can get me through this. Please pray for strength and endurance, and not to be angry with God.
Absolutely loved it too. Passed through a divorce and I gotta say, one of the worst things that can happen in a man’s life is to constitute a family and after years of marriage to found himself apart from his loved ones
You have indeed found a treasure my friend! I have been a Christian for many years and deeply involved in church, but Dr. Keller’s teaching has transformed my faith to help me truly walk with Jesus, understanding more about who he is, every single day. Listen to his sermon on A Christian’s Happiness. Life-changing, like this one. Grace and peace to you in your journey.
Caron Lurrie I pray you learn understanding and Gods wisdom for you, in the darkness you are in. I pray you find relief and rest in Him. Romans 8:35 & 8:18, Col 3:13, Luke 6:27, Matt 11:28 and Psalm 27:14, God bless
Same here. I was thinking my whole family has been in darkness for the last two months, then last Sunday, our church reached out to us and prayed with us, and prayed for the light. Then the next morning, when I searched for the song "Worthy is the lamb", this video came out on my youtube. God is faithful! He went through the absolute darkness os that we don't have to. May God strengthen all of our hearts in Him!
Wonderful message. So I need to ask myself, 'why do I serve the Lord?' I am going through dark times. Do I serve the Lord because I love Him? If I do not find healing, then I must trust that God's grace will be sufficient to see me through to the end. Lord help us all to endure for your glory. Because of Christ and His work on the cross, there is always hope.
There's NOTHING that the RESURRECTION won't cure!! AMEN!!! Thank you so much for sharing this message that has me weeping and be joyful at the same time~♥
"Nothing that the Resurrection won't cure". How simple, profound - and true.Thank You Jesus; You are the Resurrection and the Life. You will make all things new!
A year into the pandemic. Lost friends, family, loved ones, and became filled with resentment, hopelessness and anger.. Really needed this. Thank you and bless you Tim.
Tim Keller is a truly world class Bible teacher. RIP. Also just to say I think most of these same principles also apply to those who are not depressed, but still find it difficult to cultivate strong feelings of emotion/empathy towards God, despite knowing that Christianity is objectively true. I'm on the Autistic spectrum, and know shed loads of systematic theology and apologetics, but at the same time also have moderate alexithymia my whole life, towards others and towards God. I've struggled to break free from a transactional view of faith for as long as I can remember. Overall this was extremely helpful and Godly.
I have been in a dark place for quite awhile even though I love the Lord, attend church and study the Bible. This message was greatly encouaging. Thank you so much for sharing.
I just thank God for the life and ministry of Dr. Keller. I owe him so much. His work has encouraged me over many years, helping to built my faith in Christ.
I stumbled upon your video - I have never heard anyone speak on this Psalm. My ex husband committed suicide and they found this Psalm in his billfold. I also have felt that God had abandoned me - so thank you so much for showing me the hope of God even in this horrible and hopeless darkness! God bless

I didn’t experience bullying in school but adulthood. And it gives me tons of anxiety and darkness. But I know God is using this for the good, and I got the assurance from Jesus.
I LOVE this sermon! You are so right! If you come to Jesus for any other reason than accepting His free gift of salvation and loving Him for His love, grace, mercy and faithfulness, you are in danger of falling away in disappointment. Hold fast to the anchor of Truth, in what your eyes cannot see & sometimes you cannot feel.
He explains everything from the heart and he has human knowledge and observation so deep. And his sermons are interesting and he is never boring. He must be with God now.
Your expositions of the Word is increasing my maturity as a Christian. Listening to them has shifted me to another gear - I more than before appreciate God’s grace & seek on a daily basis to move away from the transactional relation many of us were fed. May God continue to keep your wife and children in His shadow.
God bless you Pr. Tim. I cried most of the time watching this, but it feels like an answer to my prayers through your sermon, i felt comforted by the Love of God watching this!

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
This message was very helpful. Even after regeneration I lose my way and wander and I get angry with God and His spirit seems to leave me completely but yet even when I cry out to Him I love Him in the emptiness but more importantly He’s there and still loves me. Just the slightest touch from Him is unimaginable joy.
Scott Riley here is a point in the right direction. Everybody needs to know this! The whole world is drunk on the doctrines of Babylon! INCLUDING and ESPECIALLY the visible Christian church. PLEASE if you can sense the deadness of the institutional churches and different ministries but can't put your finger on it. I'm pleading with you to understand something very important here. The mainstream Christian system is not of God. Rev 17:5 - "Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots, And Abominations Of The Earth." Mystery Babylon The Great is the Vatican - “And the woman which thou sawest, is that great Citie which reigneth ouer the kings of the earth.” - Rev 17:18 And she has harlot daughters which represent the protestant churches. And “the Abominations Of The Earth” are corrupt scriptures. And the final bible that will unite all faiths is called Wormwood/the Abomination of desolation. cvillebiblebaptist.com/AdultEducation/Vatican%20and%20United%20Nations%20Bible.pdf And Jesus Christ is calling His people out.
Rev 18:4 “And I heard another voice from heauen, saying, Come out of her, my people, that yee be not partakers of her sinnes, and that yee receiue not of her plagues:” The most important thing to understand is that GOD CAN BE TRUSTED to preserve His word for every generation forever as He promises us in Psalms 12:6-7 and you do not need men to teach you. 1 John 2:27 “But the anointing which ye haue receiued of him, abideth in you: and yee need not that any man teach you: But, as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is trueth, and is no lye: and euen as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” It’s vital to know, especially right now, that God has kept His word in tact. There is still an every word testimony with us! The following clip by Reg Block is what the Lord used to open my eyes to the truth of Gods promises in Mark 13:31, Psalm 12:6-7, Psalms 138:2, and Matt 4:4 and so on. It’s not more lifeless information. It is powerful and life changing and I’m grateful for it! ruclips.net/video/tAMOquyQu-8/видео.html The next video is a lesson by John Doerr on the pure word of God in the English language, which is found in the av1611 kjv. This is a much different testimony than the King James bible you are able to easily find in the churches and the so called "Christian bookstores". Please pray and genuinely take this before the Lord. He will show you. (Prepare to be attacked once you start down this path) The devil and his ministers don’t want this going out. ruclips.net/video/C9lIWdQ0rc0/видео.html I prayed a long time to know what the truth was, because over the years I grew increasingly confused, frustrated, misguided and so on.. But like most of us, I kept returning to church Sunday after next hoping something would change. If I sang more, prayed harder, got more involved, etc, ...maybe something would give. But nothing ever did. I must have walked a thousand isles. It had gotten to a point where a friend at the time said, “just try and sing". He meant well, but it was always disingenuous so I never did. Long story short - my whole Christian life was that way until recently. (powerless) God has since opened my eyes and I trust Him alone. I really hope this reaches somebody. If this is you... honestly, please look into what I’m saying. God is rich in mercy and His patience is unmatched. He's been drawing me for a long time. Maybe He’s drawing you too and this is the message you needed.

Incredibly insightful teaching and so very encouraging. I'm in the middle of the darkest times of my 46 years, suffering abandonment and what I feel is injustice. To be able to ingest sound, Biblical truth that says it's in the midst of these horrible times, I can both learn more of God's grace and better stride to greatness than when in prosperous times - this encourages and inspires me, comforts and strengthens me. Glory to God!

Brian W Cling to the Word of God. 2010 was my season of abandonment and injustice...but these seasons have a beginning, middle, and end. The first 3 chapters of the Psalms blessed me greatly. Prayers and blessings
Greg Snyder thank you very much. Definitely clinging to scripture. The book of Habakkuk is a great read and the declarations he chooses to make at the end lift my soul. “Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty; yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will remain joyful in the God of my salvation! The sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me as sure footed as a deer, able to trade it up on the heights.” Reading two new books- Craig Groeschel’s Hope in the Dark and Lysa TerHeurst’s It’s Not Supposed To Be This Way”, both really good. Thank you for the encouragement!
Natalie Nubukpo, Amen! A concept Timothy Keller does well in reminding us is how the more we see Jesus Christ and learn about Him, we are constantly reminded how He demands much less and much more at the same time. Such applies to situations of suffering; and knowing Jesus Christ more and more makes situations of suffering demand more from us to stay joyful and ethical while promising us how there are greater & better things ahead. There is a demand to have a more resilient self and realize how He makes all things work together for the good of those who believe in Him but also with promises that God will eventually give us more than what we can ever imagine. Many people turn to different philosophies and religions when there is suffering; and they cry out in despair in most crucial times. All of them have so many different answers to suffering including some that state such is only an illusion.
Life changing perspective: Job still prayed! Sure he complained and was angry, but He expressed those to God! Thank you so much for posting this video!
When he says 'darkness is my closest friend' the psalmist isn't saying 'I prefer the darkness'. The psalmist is saying, 'this is the companion that surrounds me at this time'. He is stressing his desire for the light of the Lord.
I had the chance to meet Tim Keller & visit his church and i truly enjoy and bless by his WISDOM. Bless you pastor Tim & thanks for giving a complete different PERSPECTIVE of GOSPEL NO TRANSACTIONAL (VERY ORGANIC)
Tim Keller is such a blessing with such an anointing from God to teach, I always come away from his sermons uplifted, edified and more in love with Jesus than ever before
Thank you so much Mr Keller, what an amazing message. It was truly meant to be heard by me today. I’ll definitely be listening to it again. I am not alone in my darkness
Isaiah 50:10 "Who among you fears the Lord? Who obeys the voice of His Servant? Who walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord and rely upon his God." Very fitting passage for this message. Also, consider Ecclesiastes 7:3 "Sorrow is better than laughter, for when a face is sad the heart may be happy." What really supports this truth is John 16:22. Tim Keller's message is much needed today among all true Christ Follower's !!!
Anytime we are in darkness, we have to realize Christ suffered. Abraham, when he took Isaac to be sacrificed...can you imagine what was going thru his mind?
Agreed. A year later, this is still true but takes a more determined clinging to God to know this deeply in our hearts and minds. Thank God for Easter Sunday.
There are many criticisms and complaints that could be lodged against Mr. Keller, especially towards the end of his life. However, I can find no fault with this sermon. This has been a great encouragement to me, and it reinforces exactly what he is preaching. I think we would all do well to remember this exortation, If you can call it that, To the end of our days. We will certainly need it, every one of us. RIP, Tim. 😢🎉❤
I love this teaching! NO theatrics, no emotional manipulation, no yelling and pontificating . . .just a gifted teacher sharing truth from God's word. This is the stuff that changes hearts and has lasting value. The lost world can listen and consider rather than be repulsed by the "show" so many put on. Thank you, Dr. Keller, for teaching in a way that honors God's word and recognizes no theatrics are needed. Truth penetrates on it's own.
THANKS Nikki excellent comment!!
You are so easily taken in...its all counterfeit.

@@Islamic_guidance586 This is my advice to you. Listen to the Words of Jesus and take heed lest you die apart from Him

I can listen to this over and over again.
I praise God for blessing us with a powerful, spirit filled preacher like Tim Keller
"Jesus was truly abandoned so that we only have to FEEL abandoned " THANK YOU JESUS.
Show me one Scripture that the Most High said JC name just one time
And feeling abandoned could kill u with depression. U struggle w. those thoughts for life. That’s y some wanted death instead of feeling so horrible all the time.
Jesus was not abandoned. We abandoned him.
God does not care about you. You just cares what he can make out of you
@@marioa-b5345 I think she was referring to how at the cross, Jesus cried out to the Father, "Why have you forsaken me?" as He paid the price for our sins so we can have forgiveness in Him. God bless you :)
This was such a helpful message for me. This is also my first time listening to Tim Keller and I am thankful to find him
Thirty four years ago a dear friend told me that a new pastor was starting a church in our city and he wanted to visit it. So we went to Redeemer Presbyterian Church in 1989 and we met Tim Keller. I was a baby Christian at the time and had never been taught the foundations of my faith or sound theology until I started listening to Pastor Tim. He informed my faith and set my feet upon the Rock, our Lord. I’ve been to many churches and heard many sermons since those early years but I can’t remember any of them. Only Tim’s teaching and preaching still remains in my heart and the Holy Spirit brings his words back to me when I need them most. I also want you to know that he is one of the kindest Christian pastors I have ever know met. He is genuine, honest, gentle, respectful and he really loves the body of Christ. I’m so glad that he is beyond his earthly sufferings now and is finally home with Jesus.
Finally I would just like to address those who have questioned his worth or demeaned Tim’s name in some of the comments I have read here. Was Tim perfect? Absolutely not! And, I too believe that he missed the mark on at least two accounts in his later years. His social justice advocacy stance I believe was not biblical and his seeker friendly approach to evangelism saddened me. However, God used him mightily to save thousands of unbelievers, to plant many other biblically based churches and, to those who knew him personally, be a strong witness of the gentle power, humility and love of Jesus Christ. We have receive abundant (undeserved) Mercy and are called to be vessels of mercy and not of wrath.
What Tim has given to me and myriads of others is beyond description and eternally precious! This teaching video has brought comfort to many of us who have listened. The Grace of God was truly on Tim’s life until the end. Blessed and Merciful Father God, please help us to be as loving as our brother and your servant Tim Keller. God bless you all!✝️❣️🙏
If you see this please pray for me. Thank you.

He gave me quite a chuckle with that quote from The Princess Bride!
Tim Keller is the gift that keeps on giving even in his passing. Thank you for the sermon, the wisdom, the teaching. I guess now God needs you more in heaven. Truly a Haeman of his generation. Thank you God for using him to make sense of You more ❤

1:55 I have watched this about 7 times over the last year and shared it with many friends. This sermon is one of many of Keller’s that touched me deeply. I miss him much but know he will be fully restored on that glorious morning when we see Jesus❤
For me this has been the most meaningful sermon I ever listened to. The first time I listened to this, on my commute home, there I was, behind the wheel, bawling my eyes out.
Whenever life is hard, I need this sermon. I don't know how many times I've listened to this. An amazing amazing powerful sermon.
“The very presence of this prayer in the Scriptures, is a witness to God’s understanding”
Wow
Pray your feelings
Exactly
''suffering is painful and terrible...but half the pain is from the false expectations.
half the pain you're experiencing is not from the suffering but from those false expectations. this shouldnt happen to me.
a servant is not above his master. remember Jesus suffered. im not above Him.
when we're in despair, we often exaggerate. the very presence of those prayers (ps 39 & ps 88) in the bible...show us that God understands how we speak when we're desperate, in despair. Im your God not bcos you put on a happy face in the morning. Im your God not bcos you say everything right. Im your God not bcos you do everything right. Im your God bcos Im a God of Grace.'' AMEN!

"God knows how men speak when they are desperate" So true! What a lovely sermon.
Hélia Alves yeah he probably learnt that from the listening and not doing anything’s for the millions that got slaughtered in the holocaust.
RIP Mr. Keller. You transformed my life.
How did he transform your life? Keller was frown upon by many respectable prominent Christians scholars who found him to be a heretic. He was more into urban humanist Christianity, a hippie guru love gospel where love cures all things. Very much removed from the core message of the gospel. Please study him and you will see he was very controversial, if not he had a lot of disturbing messages that did not align with the gospel. Also I left the NYC Redeemer bc of the tone, message and style of the church, super worldly, hipster, and always without fail a humanist message of urban love rather than the love of Jesus Christ of repentance.
This hits home.
For 7 years I was facing death dealing with an illness with unending pain, but worst of all i knew that i would be leaving my disabled single mother behind in this world. I grew to know darkness deeply and intimately and empathize with every murderer and evildoer throughout history. Like this man in the Bible i cursed and wrestled with God buti can say now that because of how far and stubborn I was, God needed to deal this heavy blow. But moreso than that, God wanted me back. I'm still traumatized and broken but I am growing in every way that matters. Getting pretty healthy too.
How did you come to believe in God and Jesus Christ? I am suffering greatly and trying to receive grace myself.
@@enterty4364 1. God is the one that gifts us faith. Faith isn't something that we can attain through our own works. That said, we can ask God to grant us this faith. 2. Just as how there are trillions of organisms in the universe, God's faith can be given in any way he sees fit. Whether that's through scripture, a sequence of events, a small seed of faith that's been given as a child, or a crushing blow to the core of our very being -- all we can do is make a genuine decision to accept that seed of faith and press forward and invest in the relationship to truly see for yourself where the relationship takes you. 3. As with all relationships, you need to invest your heart and time into it. That's what God wants and that's one of the ways in which the seed can grow. I wish you all the best.
@@enterty4364 Instead of trying to say the exact right words and do something to recieve it, you may just pour your heart to God, ask Him for help and trust in Jesus. I pray for you both
Thank you....a hug from God in this message. My husband went through so much physical illness and mental PTSD but never ever gave up on God. His last few text/thoughts before being called home were God is Good and I don't understand but I still trust Him. He struggled to feel God but never gave up in believing. A legacy for his kids and I. Thank you Pastor Keller for explaining so well God's truth. I learn so much.
And thank you Mary, because your comment helped me a lot too! Bless you and your family ♥️
A wonderful message… so encouraging and what I needed to hear in this moment in 2024. Thank you Timothy Keller who I know has passed from his darkness into the very presence of God.

ruclips.net/video/DuVTlYYos0c/видео.html
"(if it were possible,) they shall deceiue the very elect.”
It’s imperative to understand that the av1611 is much different than the 1769 KJV that most believe is the true 1611 but is not. The KJV only movement doesn’t use the authorized version of 1611 either.
This is the bible that Rome has been trying to destroy and cast doubt on since its inception. Everything, from the gun powder plot to false rumours of King James being gay. It contains all the prophecies in tact. Things like, what is the mark of the beast, what is wormwood, who and what is Antichrist, who are Leviathan and Behemoth representations of, and so on.
If the scriptures are broken, the prophets are killed and the church can’t hear what the Spirit is saying.
freely ye haue receiued, freely giue.”
Matt 10:8

He quotes Marxists in his books. I was once an avid listener of his sermons at one point. But I'm really not a fan of his anymore.
A great man and teacher. Glad he is resting with the Father now.
I love Tim Keller, and will deeply miss his presence here on Earth, for now. His words always resonated with so much truth and wisdom, and shone hope into the darkest times in my life where nothing else seemed to penetrate. He always had such a logical, straightforward approach to explaining even the most difficult topics. His teaching will forever have an immense impact on my life as a Christian and I will take take heart from the fact that he is finally in the midst of that eternal joy of our creator:)
Thank you Pastor Timothy Keller for reminding me that in times of deep darkness I can never be abandoned because by Grace my salvation is fully in tact through Jesus who was confronted with total darkness and overcame. (Missing you only until we meet again...)
Who would've thought that a Psalm as dark as 88 could be so lovely. Thank you Pastor Tim Keller. God bless you, Evelyn C.
This Psalmist prayer is not blasphemy or insult to God. This prayer is being honest with God. This sounds exactly like me. I show my frustration to God. God is a good listener. There is no one in this entire world who will genuinely listens to how you are feeling in dark times. Its only God. He can handle it. God is never upset with me because of my honesty. God listens and then He comforts you. He embraces you after all that.

I have come to understand what you speak about but have felt alone in my circumstances. Hearing another human articulate it has soothed my despair and given me continued hope. Thanks also to whoever uploaded this talk. God bless you all for your service!
This is the best sermon on suffering I've ever heard. I desperately needed something that avoided platitudes and honestly acknowledged true pain and how to hold onto God whilst maintaining authenticity.
Coming back to this…again. Thank you Father, for being near in the valley of the shadow of death.
first time for me... and how is it going for you?
What a gift this man is. Thank You Lord for the time You gave us.
I've been going through one of my darkest periods right now, emotionless, disconnected, finding it hard to pray, almost convinced I've committed the unpardonable sin. But after hearing all this, and knowing- REALLY knowing what Jesus went through for me... I broke down sobbing. My dark period is nothing next to what he went through.
Just enough, *just in time.* Thank you, Jesus. 😭 It's only now that I've come to realize the depth of your love for me.
Sow AG it is
Andrew did something happen or just had a moment of darkness ?
I hope you are in a better place, especially in light of the virus and riots.
If you are afraid that you committed the unpardonable sin, that means you haven't.
Ask for forgiveness then accept it and forgive yourself. God bless you.
Andrew Sarley this is what matters. This is the Trueth of the real Jesus Christ who is come in the flesh.
This man and many like him are all teaching works righteousness and religious philosophy.
Everybody needs to know this!
The whole world is drunk on the doctrines of Babylon!
INCLUDING and ESPECIALLY the visible Christian church.
PLEASE if you can sense the deadness of the institutional churches and different ministries but can't put your finger on it. I'm pleading with you to understand something very important here. The mainstream Christian system is not of God.
Rev 17:5 - "Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots, And Abominations Of The Earth."
Mystery Babylon The Great is the Vatican - “And the woman which thou sawest, is that great Citie which reigneth ouer the kings of the earth.” - Rev 17:18
And she has harlot daughters which represent the protestant churches.
And “the Abominations Of The Earth” are corrupt scriptures.
And the final bible that will unite all faiths is called Wormwood/the Abomination of desolation. cvillebiblebaptist.com/AdultEducation/Vatican%20and%20United%20Nations%20Bible.pdf
And Jesus Christ is calling His people out.
Rev 18:4
“And I heard another voice from heauen, saying, Come out of her, my people, that yee be not partakers of her sinnes, and that yee receiue not of her plagues:”
The most important thing to understand is that GOD CAN BE TRUSTED to preserve His word for every generation forever as He promises us in Psalms 12:6-7 and you do not need men to teach you.
1 John 2:27
“But the anointing which ye haue receiued of him, abideth in you: and yee need not that any man teach you: But, as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is trueth, and is no lye: and euen as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.”
It’s vital to know, especially right now, that God has kept His word in tact.
There is still an every word testimony with us!
The following clip by Reg Block is what the Lord used to open my eyes to the truth of Gods promises in Mark 13:31, Psalm 12:6-7, Psalms 138:2, and Matt 4:4 and so on.
It’s not more lifeless information. It is powerful and life changing and I’m grateful for it!

The next video is a lesson by John Doerr on the pure word of God in the English language, which is found in the av1611 kjv. This is a much different testimony than the King James bible you are able to easily find in the churches and the so called "Christian bookstores". Please pray and genuinely take this before the Lord. He will show you. (Prepare to be attacked once you start down this path) The devil and his ministers don’t want this going out.

I prayed a long time to know what the truth was, because over the years I grew increasingly confused, frustrated, misguided and so on.. But like most of us, I kept returning to church Sunday after next hoping something would change. If I sang more, prayed harder, got more involved, etc, ...maybe something would give. But nothing ever did. I must have walked a thousand isles. It had gotten to a point where a friend at the time said, “just try and sing". He meant well, but it was always disingenuous so I never did. Long story short - my whole Christian life was that way until recently. (powerless) God has since opened my eyes and I trust Him alone.
I really hope this reaches somebody. If this is you... honestly, please look into what I’m saying. God is rich in mercy and His patience is unmatched. He's been drawing me for a long time. Maybe He’s drawing you too and this is the message you needed.
This link is a series of interviews between Reg Block and John Doerr that go in depth regarding Johns trip to England for the purposes of co-producing three films: A lamp in the dark, Tares among the wheat and A bridge to babylon.
The three films (free to watch), cover the history of the bible. More specifically the preservation of Gods word and the measures that have been taken to cast doubt on, and ultimately destroy it.

here is one very final clip on the "servants of Lucifer"
ruclips.net/video/DuVTlYYos0c/видео.html
"(if it were possible,) they shall deceiue the very elect.”
It’s imperative to understand that the av1611 is much different than the 1769 KJV that most believe is the true 1611 but is not. The KJV only movement doesn’t use the authorized version of 1611 either.
This is the bible that Rome has been trying to destroy and cast doubt on since its inception. Everything, from the gun powder plot to false rumours of King James being gay. It contains all the prophecies in tact. Things like, what is the mark of the beast, what is wormwood, who and what is Antichrist, who are Leviathan and Behemoth representations of, and so on.
If the scriptures are broken, the prophets are killed and the church can’t hear what the Spirit is saying.
freely ye haue receiued, freely giue.”
Matt 10:8
We all find ourselves in this message yet God is faithful to bring treasure forth out of our circumstances . To God be the glory!
RUclips presented me with this after Pastor Tim passed away. It’s a message I really needed to hear.
This is one of the best sermons in the history of Christianity ✨
I think you have a good point. It IS a good sermon
This sermon is certainly the most pertinent I've ever heard. While I've only been a follower of Jesus for a few years, the tenor of Psalm 88 generslly captures how I've felt since I was young. And while I have certainty now that Jesus died for us, still the darkness keeps invading my heart; but it's made all the more bearable because of that certainty, and it is this very sermon I just watched that has propped another pillar under this weary soul. Thank you, Chris, for sending me this; Thank you, Pastor Tim, God rest your soul, for so powerfully preaching on this subject; And thank you, Jesus Christ my savior, for loving us all so. Thank you, God.
I always come back to this teaching of the Word because it is such a blessing to me. I thank God for using Tim Keller to deliver this message.
The most powerful sermon I have ever heard in my life.
I thank God that He brought me to listen to your preaching Dr. Tim Keller. I don't know how hopeless my condition might have been had I not heard your preaching.
Your life has been a tremendous force for the Lord in millions of lives like mine. Thank you.
Co-sign! I watched this days before he died and I am back here again.
What an inspiration he was in the way he lived through illness - what a witness.
His life has been such a blessing.
Well done, Timothy.
When Ps Tim brought Jesus into the picture at the end of the message, everything, including our pain and suffering fell into place. My pain is incomparable to what Christ suffered for me on the cross. He was a Man of Sorrows and acquainted with grief.
What a beautiful reminder that our God is rock solid in goodness, faithfulness and grace. He does not run away from us in our weakness, pain and suffering but carries us through, working it all for good and for His glory. Hallelujah! 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Im crying. This has conforted my soul and warmed my faith
We will all face darkness some time and the Holy Spirit will shine even greater on the inside.
Beautiful sermon
2nd time watching this, in awe of this quote:
“When you go through darkness if you don’t feel God’s there. But you hold on anyway, and you say, "you know what you’re God and I’m not and I’m not getting anything out of this but I’m still going to pray, I’m still gonna go to church and worship I’m still going to love my neighbor I’m still gonna do the things I ought to do..That will turn you into a person not self-centered not in a transactional relationship up and down all the time it’ll turn you into a person of endurance, of stability, of strength, of greatness…" -Tim Keller: How to deal with dark times.
Amen! Thank you Lord for this encouragement. It is so hard when we go through darkness even to the point when darkness is our closest friend. Yet You taught us Lord that it is okay to pray of our struggles and to feel the despairs of life. Thank you Lord for giving us hope through Jesus who experienced total darkness and overcame it all. Post tenebras spero lucem...
;(( yes enduring But how much more.- answer trust GOD with all our heart, His Grace is sufficient. ;(0
Thank you as it is encouraging.
Your response is very helpful. Thank you.
I think I’ve watched this 5 times... wanting to remember EVERY WORD. Our son took his life 04/26/2019...nearly a year later, i am limping through life. I have said words similar to Heman... darkness IS sometimes my only friend, but I still get up each morning and get dressed...attend church every Sunday... but my heart still does not “feel” God’s love & comfort. I know it will eventually...and I have never been angry at God...
@@pamwehking2457 praying for you Pam. May God give you peace and healing and light your way through the darkness into the light of a new day.
Im going thorugh the darkest times of my entire 47 years. Never experienced despair quite like this. Only Jesus can get me through this. Please pray for strength and endurance, and not to be angry with God.
AMEN
Absolutely loved it too. Passed through a divorce and I gotta say, one of the worst things that can happen in a man’s life is to constitute a family and after years of marriage to found himself apart from his loved ones
I pray of all my heart for all the people who suffer, let us stay strong in faith and grace will prevail. Amen
“God knows how men speak when they are desperate.” I’ve been pretty desperate of late. Praise him for his mercy.
This is speaking to me. God is good, even when life isn't.
@Talking Leaves Amen!
Best quote of the week!
I will definitely be using this: God is good, even when life isn't ❤ amen!
This is a godsend for me
@@lilmisspeace This reminds me of the other saying "life is hard but God is good".
I’ve just recently been introduced to Tm Keller’s ministry it’s like finding a gift from Jesus that I absolutely needed for my journey onward.
You have indeed found a treasure my friend! I have been a Christian for many years and deeply involved in church, but Dr. Keller’s teaching has transformed my faith to help me truly walk with Jesus, understanding more about who he is, every single day. Listen to his sermon on A Christian’s Happiness. Life-changing, like this one. Grace and peace to you in your journey.
God is so good. I’m in the darkness at the moment and I needed to bear wisdom. This was the first video I saw when I opened my app. Thank God.
Caron Lurrie I pray you learn understanding and Gods wisdom for you, in the darkness you are in. I pray you find relief and rest in Him. Romans 8:35 & 8:18, Col 3:13, Luke 6:27, Matt 11:28 and Psalm 27:14, God bless
Same here. I was thinking my whole family has been in darkness for the last two months, then last Sunday, our church reached out to us and prayed with us, and prayed for the light. Then the next morning, when I searched for the song "Worthy is the lamb", this video came out on my youtube. God is faithful! He went through the absolute darkness os that we don't have to. May God strengthen all of our hearts in Him!
Never stop trying god will be there somtime it takes time like joseph
May God be with you Caron. May he give you strength peace and love to fill your darkness.
Wonderful God.
We Worship you.
I needed to hear this so badly! Thank you Pastor Tim! Live in peace my brother!
Prayers for Tim and his family as he enters a hospice this week. Thank you Tim for inspiring and teaching me all these years
I just find out he is with the Lord🙏🙏🙏
30 min therapy sermons by Uncle Timothy? Yes please 🙏 May God be with you as you’re reading this!
What beautiful and factual Truth this sermon is. No theatrics. Just Truth Teaching. We need this sometimes. Rest In GOD'S Peace Man of GOD👑🙋🏾👑
Wonderful message. So I need to ask myself, 'why do I serve the Lord?' I am going through dark times. Do I serve the Lord because I love Him? If I do not find healing, then I must trust that God's grace will be sufficient to see me through to the end. Lord help us all to endure for your glory. Because of Christ and His work on the cross, there is always hope.
There's NOTHING that the RESURRECTION won't cure!! AMEN!!! Thank you so much for sharing this message that has me weeping and be joyful at the same time~♥
"Nothing that the Resurrection won't cure". How simple, profound - and true.Thank You Jesus; You are the Resurrection and the Life. You will make all things new!
A year into the pandemic. Lost friends, family, loved ones, and became filled with resentment, hopelessness and anger..
Really needed this.
Thank you and bless you Tim.
Praying that God fill you with hope, peace and joy.
Tim Keller is a truly world class Bible teacher. RIP.
Also just to say I think most of these same principles also apply to those who are not depressed, but still find it difficult to cultivate strong feelings of emotion/empathy towards God, despite knowing that Christianity is objectively true. I'm on the Autistic spectrum, and know shed loads of systematic theology and apologetics, but at the same time also have moderate alexithymia my whole life, towards others and towards God. I've struggled to break free from a transactional view of faith for as long as I can remember.
Overall this was extremely helpful and Godly.
The grace and faithfulness of God is our comfort and hope in times of darkness.
I have been in a dark place for quite awhile even though I love the Lord, attend church and study the Bible. This message was greatly encouaging. Thank you so much for sharing.
Psalm 34 is a comfort
I just thank God for the life and ministry of Dr. Keller. I owe him so much. His work has encouraged me over many years, helping to built my faith in Christ.
I stumbled upon your video - I have never heard anyone speak on this Psalm. My ex husband committed suicide and they found this Psalm in his billfold. I also have felt that God had abandoned me - so thank you so much for showing me the hope of God even in this horrible and hopeless darkness! God bless

I didn’t experience bullying in school but adulthood. And it gives me tons of anxiety and darkness. But I know God is using this for the good, and I got the assurance from Jesus.
I LOVE this sermon! You are so right! If you come to Jesus for any other reason than accepting His free gift of salvation and loving Him for His love, grace, mercy and faithfulness, you are in danger of falling away in disappointment. Hold fast to the anchor of Truth, in what your eyes cannot see & sometimes you cannot feel.
He explains everything from the heart and he has human knowledge and observation so deep. And his sermons are interesting and he is never boring. He must be with God now.
Your expositions of the Word is increasing my maturity as a Christian. Listening to them has shifted me to another gear - I more than before appreciate God’s grace & seek on a daily basis to move away from the transactional relation many of us were fed. May God continue to keep your wife and children in His shadow.
God bless you Pr. Tim.
I cried most of the time watching this, but it feels like an answer to my prayers through your sermon, i felt comforted by the Love of God watching this!
Well said. Me too.
Yes, indeed!! Hear, hear!! Tim Keller is a treasure, God bless him…an authentic psychospiritual savant!!
This has helped me tremendously..

this sermon is so so dear to my heart
I love Tim's message. Just what I need. Although the constant ads interrupting his preaching are really annoying.
I got so much what I did not expected from this teaching. God is really amazing and care. Thank you Lord .
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.
This message was very helpful. Even after regeneration I lose my way and wander and I get angry with God and His spirit seems to leave me completely but yet even when I cry out to Him I love Him in the emptiness but more importantly He’s there and still loves me. Just the slightest touch from Him is unimaginable joy.

@@jesurunr.3333 great information.
Thank you
Praying for God’s resurrection power to penetrate your heart and soul.❤️🙏❤️
Incredibly insightful teaching and so very encouraging. I'm in the middle of the darkest times of my 46 years, suffering abandonment and what I feel is injustice. To be able to ingest sound, Biblical truth that says it's in the midst of these horrible times, I can both learn more of God's grace and better stride to greatness than when in prosperous times - this encourages and inspires me, comforts and strengthens me. Glory to God!

Prayers and blessings
Greg Snyder thank you very much. Definitely clinging to scripture. The book of Habakkuk is a great read and the declarations he chooses to make at the end lift my soul. “Even though the fig trees have no blossoms, and there are no grapes on the vines; even though the olive crop fails, and the fields lie empty and barren; even though the flocks die in the fields, and the cattle barns are empty; yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will remain joyful in the God of my salvation! The sovereign Lord is my strength! He makes me as sure footed as a deer, able to trade it up on the heights.”
Reading two new books- Craig Groeschel’s Hope in the Dark and Lysa TerHeurst’s It’s Not Supposed To Be This Way”, both really good. Thank you for the encouragement!
Lifting you and all facing darkness up in prayers for healing, perseverance and strength.
Pastor Tim Keller had a wonderful life and ministry ❤
I needed to hear this today. We have to continue the journey with Christ even when we are suffering 🙏🏾
Natalie Nubukpo,
Amen! A concept Timothy Keller does well in reminding us is how the more we see Jesus Christ and learn about Him, we are constantly reminded how He demands much less and much more at the same time. Such applies to situations of suffering; and knowing Jesus Christ more and more makes situations of suffering demand more from us to stay joyful and ethical while promising us how there are greater & better things ahead. There is a demand to have a more resilient self and realize how He makes all things work together for the good of those who believe in Him but also with promises that God will eventually give us more than what we can ever imagine.
Many people turn to different philosophies and religions when there is suffering; and they cry out in despair in most crucial times. All of them have so many different answers to suffering including some that state such is only an illusion.

I wish I would have found this sermon years ago. So good & needed.
Life changing perspective: Job still prayed! Sure he complained and was angry, but He expressed those to God! Thank you so much for posting this video!
When he says 'darkness is my closest friend' the psalmist isn't saying 'I prefer the darkness'. The psalmist is saying, 'this is the companion that surrounds me at this time'. He is stressing his desire for the light of the Lord.
Well said! I like how you phrase that!
What a precious gift this man has left the world so grateful we can still gleen from his wisdom 🙏 thank you for sharing 🥰 Blessings Gerowyn
I had the chance to meet Tim Keller & visit his church and i truly enjoy and bless by his WISDOM. Bless you pastor Tim & thanks for giving a complete different PERSPECTIVE of GOSPEL NO TRANSACTIONAL (VERY ORGANIC)
Tim Keller is such a blessing with such an anointing from God to teach, I always come away from his sermons uplifted, edified and more in love with Jesus than ever before

I've fought war for 5 years... God is intense
Thank you so much Mr Keller, what an amazing message. It was truly meant to be heard by me today. I’ll definitely be listening to it again. I am not alone in my darkness
Isaiah 50:10 "Who among you fears the Lord? Who obeys the voice of His Servant? Who walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord and rely upon his God." Very fitting passage for this message. Also, consider Ecclesiastes 7:3 "Sorrow is better than laughter, for when a face is sad the heart may be happy." What really supports this truth is John 16:22. Tim Keller's message is much needed today among all true Christ Follower's !!!
a good talk to reflect on as we go through the coronavirus situation
Anytime we are in darkness, we have to realize Christ suffered. Abraham, when he took Isaac to be sacrificed...can you imagine what was going thru his mind?
Have your church help with Covid response
Yuppp
Agreed. A year later, this is still true but takes a more determined clinging to God to know this deeply in our hearts and minds. Thank God for Easter Sunday.
There are many criticisms and complaints that could be lodged against Mr. Keller, especially towards the end of his life. However, I can find no fault with this sermon. This has been a great encouragement to me, and it reinforces exactly what he is preaching. I think we would all do well to remember this exortation, If you can call it that, To the end of our days. We will certainly need it, every one of us. RIP, Tim. 😢🎉❤
I needed this today. Thank you,Christ Jesus for never leaving me in my darkness.
An extraordinary insight into our seasons of darkness from God's perspective. In our trials and tribulations, He knows and He understands.
