What a blessed Pastor, I have most of his books and they were wonderful! I'm so happy for him to be with his beloved Savior, but he will be sorely missed!

For those of us with imperfect memories, we should listen to this 4 times a year (or more). Amazing how God has gifted, molded and used Tim Keller for the Glory of His Person and His Kingdom.

I love that Dr. Keller challenges you to examine your own heart in his sermons. I had to re-examine my own salvation after realizing, I had such a shallow understanding of the gospel. That is a very sobering thought. I think too many churches today focus on the size of their church, rather than the hearts of their flock. You rarely hear of pastors saying to their congregation, "you're probably not a Christian if....". Only a pastor who truly loves people, could have the courage to confront Christians in such a loving way. My faith has grown deeper in Christ because of the Holy Spirit, and Dr. Keller's deep, deep insight into the gospel. I find incredible, soul changing treasures in every single one of his sermons. He is truly a blessing to the Christian world view.

Wow, maybe the most impactful sermon I’ve ever heard. He is blessed in heaven

We will miss you, so grateful for your teachings! Enjoy your crown.

THANK YOU PASTOR TIM KELLER FOR THIS SERMON AND HELP ME A LOT, APPRECIATE IT. AND I TRY TO AVOID READING OTHER COMMENTS ESPECIALLY THE ONE WHO THINK THEY ARE VERY SMART BEHIND THE KEYBOARD AND KNOW BETTER, WHICH IN MY OPINION THEY DON'T SO I RATHER ENJOY THIS SERMON AND LEARN FROM PASTOR KELLER. THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO.

Started listening to Tim Keller two years ago. There’s no one contemporary preacher or teacher today that so consistently delivers God’s word !#Priceless!

Thank you Pastor Tim. Thank you. You will be missed. ♥️

If modern churches would teach that the REAL reason we should love God ( because we love Him, not because of what he does for Me ), worship would be transformed. Alas, listen to the lyrics of much of what is called "contemporary Christian music" and you will hear a focus on the transactional: I love you Lord because... of what you can and will do for Me. We should be singing that we love you, Lord, for what you HAVE ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED for me, and FOR WHO YOU TRULY ARE.

Our pastor talked about him in church yesterday. I've never heard of him but will start listening to his sermons. May he rest in peace

Thank you so much for sharing this profound and eye opening sermon!

I just discovered PastorTim and his sermons. The more the more I'm glued because he is answering lots of my questions. Thank Pastor Tim. NNA

“Do you mortify; do you make it your daily work; be always at it whilst you live; cease not a day from this work; be killing sin or it will be killing you.” (John Owen, The Mortification of Sin) Tim's refrain of the Gospel [borrowed from Jack Miller], "I am more sinful than I can ever dare imagine, and yet more loved than I could ever hope for." is the basis for the freedom to change. The problem is that we do not live "on the extremes of this articulation of the Gospel." We live lukewarm Gospel lives... Ergo mostly neutered of our ability to change at deep, deep levels. God bless you, Tim Keller. A main mentor since arriving in NYC.

Reading comments after videos like these increases my embrace of God seeing us, not in ourselves but in Jesus. The pridefullness, bickering, misunderstanding, emotionalism, unholy dissension among the saints is discouraging. And somehow, were all wrapped up in it. How God offers love and reconciliation to hearts as inclined and provoked to ugliness as ours is truly a mystery. As is expressed in our culture, en masse, we can tolerate almost nothing of perceived personal offense towards us, in the slightest degree. Yet God again and again holds back His Divine wrath to the spoiled heart that deserves it and put the fullness thereof on Himself, in Christ, who did not deserve it.

Great insight into how to be a victor in Christ in this lifetime on earth. I speak from experience that a Christian can have overflowing joy and the peace that passes all understanding in spite of circumstances, past baggage, and the sin that wars within us. Never fear letting Christ bring our sins into the light. Through Christ we are more than conquerors. And the love affair we can have with Him is vibrant and amazing!

Rest Well 😢❤ Tim Keller ❤

Only spiritually blind and biblically ignorant people would give this sermon a dislike. Those who gave this a dislike has proven Tim Keller's points to be true. We are indeed blinded by our deep " crouching " sins and the only solution is true repentance! Thank you Lord for those who resist the truth of this sermon , you Lord, have an amazing way of convicting us and comforting us at the same time. THE DISLIKE OF ABSOLUTE TRUTH PROVES ITSELF TO BE CONSISTENT WITH IT'S VERY DEFINITION. True conviction means separation from self deception and biblical error! Holy Spirit continue to convict us and sanctify us towards Christlikeness.

Pastor Tim Keller really breaks down the true Gospel of Jesus Christ according to the mystery given to Apostle Paul the Apostle of the gentiles for the dispensing of the Grace of God today. Especially the sermon on The Fruit of the SPIRIT!!!awesome, edifies the body of Christ.

I love listening to you Pastor Keller you really break it down and keep it real for us. And you can't help but re-examine your heart after hearing your messages, I want to think, I want to be sure and on the right path and your messages are so profound it goes right to the heart of the matter. Thank you Pastor and may God continue to bless you and your ministry it is reaching many hearts out here.

This is so good. I need to listen to it about a dozen times!

A life changing sermon! Thank you Keller.. I have to fine time to meditate of some of the things that you said here for me to be completely changed.

It touched the core of my heart, thank you for the sermon, pastor Tim. God spoke to me through you today …

Thank you. I am deeply blessed, this is profound. As I ask God to teach me abt Grace...and my daily bible reading is know on Galatians 4-5, and God lead me just now, to this preaching. Thank u Pastor. I am blessed, God bless you abundantly

Thank you for opening the door for deep change for the healing reasons.

That was absolutely brilliant. Thank you.

A quote from Ralph Spaulding Cushman: "Set us afire, Lord, Stir us, we pray! While the world perishes We go our way, Purposeless, passionless, Day after day. Set us afire, Lord, Stir us, we pray! Taken from: " A Pocket Prayer Book and Devotional Guide" c. 1941 The Upper Room, Nashville, TN

Thank you for such an awesome message!

This has helped me enormously!

Great sermon! Thank you. God bless you.

Wow that is some good teaching!

You cannot get rid of sin simply by noticing and admitting that we have a certain sin. The only way for a christian to get rid of their sinful behaviors, is through the Holy Spirit. When you pray and allow the Holy Spirit to help you change, and make that sin unappealing to you, when the Holy Spirit gives you the strength to abstain from your addiction to the sin, only then can you begin to change for the better. It's impossible to do it on your own.

SO grateful for this and the identity message.

Love this

Thank You. I get this. The way you put this is so clear.

Excellent sermon!

One of my favorite Keller sermons.

So helpful!

Wow, this is life-changing.

i dont like when he puts his watch back on because that means the sermon is almost over

Thank you. Just exactly what I needed to hear at the precise time when I fortunately came across this!

Great insights for me.

"Grace enables change."

Remarkably intelligent and soulful direction.

Wow ! Amen !

I'm righteous only in Christ 💖

Thank you so much. So grateful for your teachings.. Thank you for investing your life in this way...🙏🧡

The promiscuous guy was not unsaved, he was just in the process of sanctification. We're not saved once we're transformed from top to bottom, we're transformed from to bottom as a result of our salvation. All Christians are still out here, killing idols by the help of the Spirit, and he hadn't killed that one yet.

Someone remind me to come back to this

Powerful!

Wow.. he totally got me to b aware of my son in a whole new way. Wow.

What a talk. 🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸

David prayed Show me if there are hidden sins in me. He did not want to sin against the Father.. I'm sorry Father I'm a sinner saved by Your Grace alone! Help me I need You every minute

i really wish i had someone like Tim around so i could ask him all my doubts.

Wow... that's powerful. Rip

Does all sin require punishment or does all sin require sacrifice? Do we want to stop sinning just because we don't want to grieve the One we love, or do we also have a growing, all-consuming desire to be closer to God, to have more of Him, to be sanctified, to be holy as He is holy, to be transformed into His image?

A wise teacher said that Christianity is not a changed life, it is an exchanged life.

"hadn't changed underneath, hadn't had new deeper versions of his power idolatry, his need to be in charge, his need to put people around."

does anyone have anymore of these sermons? I'm drinking them like water lately

Volume is very low on this video

Amen

You are with Jesus. The world is so much darker. :(

Rite On! ;)

12:48 Could anyone please direct me to these first two lectures that Dr. Keller talks about?

Jesus threw a swimming ring to me so I won't drawn in the ocean storm. My job is to hold the ring and let him keep saving me until I'm safe.

What is the sermon he's referring to that he says you need to understand what he meant in that sermon to better understand this sermon...? Why Is this not one of the 106 comments /questions on this video

Love the 卧虎藏龙 reference, God bless his soul

True, feeling sorry about your sin because of the consequences and repenting your sin because you are being convicted by the Holy Spirit aren't the same.

I think you are right on in most of your talk in regard to loving the Lord and in all of your examples of heartfelt agape love. Then an interesting thing happens following your examples of the sexually promiscuous man that changed at the bible study and in fact you felt that he never really changeover instead exchanged one misbehavior for another. The fact that you use that example is interesting in itself and that it becomes the point of going off track into error. Anyway then you really lose the whole accurate theme of loving God and go to human effort to kill the sin. I say that if we continue on fully in God's path that he has given us to love so much that the Holy Spirit is in fact our Redeamer by in filling us with love so great that sin.loses its power. The Holy Spirit has been given to us for this purpose. It is not our Herculean effort that brings us fully and deeply to God. Rather it is God Himself, the I Am that brings us to Him.

Is the second talk he gave on UKposts? Because I can't find it.

Repent by connecting the glories of the gospel, the benefits of the gospel with the sin patterns.

Who were thoe 70 disciples? What happenet to them? We have no idea.

13:45 truth!

Can someone please tell me what are the first two videos in this series? That he referred to several times?

Before the throne of God above I have a strong and perfect plea A great High Priest whose name is love Who ever lives and pleads for me My name is graven on His hands My name is written on His heart I know that while in heav'n He stands No tongue can bid me thence depart No tongue can bid me thence depart When Satan tempts me to despair And tells me of the guilt within Upward I look and see Him there Who made an end to all my sin Because the sinless Savior died My sinful soul is counted free For God the Just is satisfied To look on Him and pardon me To look on Him and pardon me Behold Him there, the risen Lamb My perfect, spotless Righteousness The great unchangeable I Am The King of glory and of grace One with Himself, I cannot die My soul is purchased by His blood My life is hid with Christ on high With Christ my Savior and my God One with Himself, I cannot die My soul is purchased by His blood My life is hid with Christ on high With Christ my Savior and my God With Christ my Savior and my God

Sin is a horrible master.

Jesus is the only one who can get the stain out! Lord pour out your Spirits on those seeking to know you and fill them with desire to love you more than for what you do.

24:30 sins. I hear my own in the list. Talk to others about them, and to Him. Be convicted with joy?!? :-)

ComeToJesus-HeAloneSaves

29:45 'but that doesn't mean I'm stained.'

This sermon destroyed me in a very good way.

He makes some good points. Mainly we do need to get rid of the root and really repent deeply and find our identity in Jesus. However there are a few things I think that should be looked at and thought about. 1 The disciples did not rejoice that the demons were subject to their name but to Jesus’ name. Yet he did make a good point about not finding our salvation in those. 2 however the demons kept being subject to the authority of Jesus’ name. That never changed. 3. It seems unfair for a wife to say “do you love me?” And just expect I love you because I love you. Honestly did she pick the guy just because she loves him for no reason? No. They picked each other for certain reasons. However in God’s love we stay committed to their value in Christ. They are made in God’s image and even if they change and start treating us wrong we are still called to love them for their sake.

So what if your answer is “because you love me”?

Only 3 minutes into the video, I keep hearing him misquote Scripture. That concerns me about listening to more of this teaching/preaching.

His wife leaving him was for his best. If he were to ever change she would have been pulling him down.

No right division of the Word in fact no Word at all just stream of consciousness from this "anointed " one. there will come a time when they will not endure sound doctrine and with itching ears will heap up for themselves teachers like this one.

If only they preached sin in new covenant grace-based churches. Strangely and grievously, they do not want their congregations to "sin-conscious" , whatever that means, and enter into a long phase of denial of the existence of private sins and hang-ups in their lives.

I have all the sins the pastor talked about.

24:27

This message doesn't need anything added to it.

. sin can not hide from the word of God. IT IS SHARPER THAN ANY TWO EDGED SWORD Cain HAD SET HIMSELF AGAINST GOD. GOD WAS WARNING HIM. ALL WHO REPENT AND TURN TO GOD HAVE FORGIVENESS OF SIN AND HE GIVES YOU THE POWER TO RID YOUR SIN. DO NOT DENY THIS

I'm sorry, I love Keller and he made a lot of great points here BUT this whole idea of "convicting yourself" does not jive with scriptural truth. "it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose." Phil 2:13

23:50 learn how to convict yourself with your joys... Vision of God, of His Love, becomes love for Him, and I don't want to betray that, i want to please Him. Before just ...trying harder. For vanity, for control-by-moral-superiority, moral status....

I love Tim's preaching. I really do. But. I get frustrated that he is fantastic at explaining the theological analysis of a topic like this but spends so little time on practical application / implementation. How to. This is one of the better that I have heard but still only about 10min was spent on practical application. Better but not great.

'Conviction with joy' hmm wow

Convict myself? The Holy Spirit does that job, or I will keep letting myself off the hook. I'll lessen sins impact. Yeah...I need the Holy Spirit.

I can't understand what he said (32:39-48) "I am only hear to say don't be afraid to get back into the muck...use grace on it...the more you see your sin, the more his grace and that's how you change deeply."What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Romans 6:1-3

Dead to sin alive to Christ

That's not what sprited filled means.

All sin has to be punished? By whom? By God? Calvinism makes absolutely no theological sense to me at all. That punishing God, and the idea that the crucifixion was some sort of substitutionary atonement are hallmarks of bad Calvinistic theology. Though I believe Reverend Keller is a good man and a good Christian.

“Prone to manipulating people”?? That seems to aptly apply for this audience. 😉
