  • Hannah’s Prayer for Family

    Hannah’s Prayer for Family
    May 10 2025

    Hannah is a woman in enormous pain. At the beginning of 1 Samuel, she is roaring with pain, roaring with grief.

    And yet, in Hannah, we have a case study of a woman at prayer, a woman who has a spiritual encounter with God. Hannah eventually becomes the mother of the prophet Samuel. And we can all learn something from her fascinating account.

    To understand this passage, we need to see 1) the anatomy of Hannah’s pain, 2) the change in Hannah’s heart, and 3) the secret in Hannah’s song.

    This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 21, 2007. Series: Real Spirituality – Prayer and Beyond. Scripture: 1 Samuel 1:4-11; 2:1-10.

  • Faith and Work

    Faith and Work
    May 9 2025

    What’s described in Isaiah 60 never happened in human history and never can happen in normal human history—and it has much to teach us about how we view our work.

    Isaiah 60 looks to the end of time when God makes everything right and paradise is restored. And in that restoration, something happens that we often overlook: all the nations of the world bring their work products—their gold, silver, flux, and grain—as offerings to God. Just as there was work in the original paradise, there’ll be work in the future paradise. And so, what does that mean about our work?

    This text points to three things about work: 1) the goodness and dignity of work, 2) what’s wrong with work, and 3) how work can be healed.

    This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 10, 2016. Series: Proverbs: Where We Are Going: The City and the Mission. Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-11, 18-21.

  • Feeling His Pleasure

    Feeling His Pleasure
    May 7 2025

    There are two typical approaches to work today, and both of them are wrong. Both of them cut right against what God meant work to be.

    One approach says, “Work is a curse—something to be endured for a paycheck.” The other approach says, “Work is my way to find self-esteem through achievement.” But the Bible, and the fourth of the Ten Commandments, shows us a different view of work.

    Let’s see what the fourth commandment and Ephesians 6 show us about work: 1) work is not a curse; it’s a calling, 2) work is not for yourself; it’s for him, and 3) three things to do if you’re unhappy with your job.

    This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on October 22, 1989. Series: Proverbs: True Wisdom for Living. Scripture: Ephesians 6:5-9.

Timeless and Timely

I listened to the entire teaching by Keller on this book of Jonah. It was for me just what I needed today. Keller doesn’t mince words and tells it like it is. I’m certain I’ll go back to these teachings.

if you're afraid you did it. listen to this.

Perfect narration from Tim Keller himself. Gets gets right down in depth understandings you may have never thought of before. Very worth the listen. For those who are worried they have done this sin don't be. If you're worried you've done it, that is evidence you did not do it because that is the holy spirit working in your life to convict you.

He Always Made Sense

His books and sermons are amazing. He has helped me to understand Christian Theology on a much deeper level. He was well-educated, intelligent, relatable, and not at all difficult to understand. His passing was a huge loss to this world, ut at least we still have his books and sermons.

suffering is a blessing

Through faith, God will never leave us. suffering is actually a blessing from God in a sinful world. Through suffering, we learn even if we don't understand. I'm in my 70s, and through living day to day, I've learned by making wrong decisions, little things that happen, or a Devastating Event That makes us want to question God. we are learning through suffering. God allows this. Otherwise, we wouldn't learn important lessons of life, and when we keep our focus on God, it builds faith, love, and unity. I was a Church goer for the last 30+ years. Two years ago, my wife went to be with the Lord. We met in the 7th grade and married after graduating high school. Her short struggle with cancer brought us closer to Christ! My wifes pasting has left me with memories and a lot of extra time. I have given much this time to the Lord. I finally understand what it is to be a truly saved believer in Christ.
Thank you, Timothy, Kathy, and everyone who supports you for being part of my morning devotion to Christ!

Unabashedly honest and intimate

I have always heard that marriage is an analogy for our relationship with the Savior. But Tim makes it so clear here. I am divorced and can finally have peace about it. I love how Tim brings to light our intimacy with our Savior, who sees the ugliest parts of me and chooses me daily, like a spouse would. I can not wait for that reunion in heaven!

What a Gift God Has Given Us!

I'm so grateful to God for all that He has done in the life of Tim Keller that equipped him to prepare these messages for us. I've been a follower of Christ for 34 years, have attended various churches, read many Christian authors and have listened to numerous pastors and teachers. Never have I heard teaching like Keller's. I feel like I'm getting a master's in theology just listening to the podcast. His teaching has clarified many things I've questioned, unlocked mysteries that I didn't know existed, linked Old and New testament together in ways I've never understood, and deepened my love for our amazing God and Saviour. I recommend this podcast to everyone I talk to. May God richly bless Tim with a greater knowledge of His love and purpose for his every day.

Mentor for 26 years

Since 1997 in South Africa the Keller sermon cassettes would arrive in the mail and feed our family a banquet of God’s word. This is our go to podcast. I loved Psalm 139 this morning with the blessing of practicing presence of Christ!
