Finding God

TIM KELLER
About this episode

For physical health, we have trainers and doctors. Through nutrition and exercise, trainers help you get further than you were. And when you get sick or injured, doctors help get you back on track. It’s the same thing spiritually. 

There are spiritual disciplines that are like training and spiritual disciplines that treat problems. We look now at a discipline that is a way of dealing with a problem that can be disastrous.

Let’s look at Psalm 42 and 43 and see 1) there’s a condition that is certain to come upon you, 2) there’s a set of causal factors, and 3) there’s a set of cures.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 21, 2002. Series: Psalms: Disciples of Grace. Scripture: Psalm 42:1-43:5.

Finding Jesus

Discovering the Gospel
You can’t talk publicly about Christianity unless at some point you get down to say, “Well, what is it?” There’s great consensus that 1 Corinthians was written just 20 years after the death of Jesus Christ. So when Paul says he’s summarizing the message the Corinthians heard and ... Show More
