For many years now, with much thanks to people like Trent McEntrye of Campus Crusade for Christ in Atlanta, I’ve been deeply gripped by the message of the Gospel as being the wellspring of purpose and meaning for all parts of my life. Several years ago Trent introduced me to his church, which in turn introduced me to the preaching ministry of John Thomas. Trent always said that his then pastor got much if not most of the content of his sermons from Tim Keller at Redeemer Pres in NYC and he wasn’t kidding.
Lately I’ve been listening to a good bit of stuff from Keller and the similarities are uncanny. Really there are still a lot of differences stylistically, but the same philosophy of ministry is still in everything they say. Basically everything that they say in their sermons is a narrative of the Gospel. Meaning, the Gospel isn’t just this other thing that happened that we should remember as Christians, but instead that every biblical story is an exposition of the Gospel, everything we think, say or do can be boiled down to our understanding, or lack thereof, of the Gospel.
Needless to say, I’m very grateful for both Preaching ministries and happy to share a link I just came across that has tons of Tim Keller Resources. So please enjoy by clicking HERE
