Work and Rest – Timothy Keller [Sermon]

Tim Keller sermons via Gospel in Life: The religious leaders in Jesus' time had a long list of rules regarding the Sabbath. When questioned, Jesus does not respond by dismissing the Sabbath, but rather redefines it - by dying on a cross. As Christians, we are able to enter into his rest and enjoy the same rest that God enjoyed after creation, by means of his works, not ours. The Sabbath is a blessing from God and one we will only enjoy if we understand it correctly.



This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on March 23, 2003.

I used to listen to a sermon, be completely immersed in it and remember what is being said. Right now am not even able to listen to it without being distracted and can’t concentrate. My mind has become restless. Lord please give me Your sabbath rest that I used to have❤ love Tim ❤

I love Pastor Keller’s teachings. I could say that he is the #1 Bible teacher in the present time. I thank God for letting me listen to him. The broader he speaks the more interesting it gets me attention. He’s alive with Jesus Christ our Lord and our God…No deaths occur on this Christian TIM KELLER GOOD TEACHER FOR HE UNDERSTANDS GOD’s plan well and he teaches us well. Good and faithful servant of God…

God looks at his work and says, “it is good.” Then He rests.

Profound. Anti Slavery, Salvation and true peace in doing the acts of kindness. True peace is far beyond the physical but more towards bringing about a state of salvation to others. Sabbath is creating wealth in the kingdom of God.

Incredible sermon! This really gets to the heart of having the peace of God that God wants us to have.

I do like the message other than the sunday and tuesday thing.

[buggdogg-pg]

Am I bugging out or is the gentleman reading the scripture in the beginning of the video the same narrator of the NIV Bible in the Bible app?

[moglimogify]

I legit thought Christopher Hitchens was giving the scripture reading

[johnkim]

The Pharisees question what gives Jesus the right to reap grain and heal people which challenges their version and interpretation of God's demands regarding the Sabbath! Jesus challenges their interpretation of the Sabbath and explains that it was made for people; but He never argues for overturning the Sabbath rather explaining how He affirms the Sabbath.

[MichaelWilliams-xsbj]

The sabbath is not on Sunday! Catholics changed the sabbath due to paganism and worship of Hermes the sun god! God made the sabbath and that was the 7th day which is Saturday. You can go to church on Sunday and that is fine. Preaches and teaches of God are man and should rest on saturday!! We have no right to change the sabbath day unless you are God!

Interesting sermon, however, As a believer I am confused because Hos Word says to remember His sabbath and that sabbath never changed so isn't it rather arrogant of our flesh to say that we can choose any day as a sabbath? Does the clay tell the potter how to mold itself? Shalom
