Gospel in Life
with Tim Keller
Our Power: Spirit-Filled Living
Friday, April 17, 2026
Living the Christian life is not a matter of willpower and self-effort. Because of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we have the potential for radical and organic growth and change.
2 Peter talks about moving from selfishness to unselfishness, from enslavement to freedom, from foolishness to wisdom. It’s talking about inward character change, about spiritual growth.
According to this passage, spiritual growth is 1) possible, 2) gradual, 3) essential, 4) practical, and 5) ultimately wonderful.
This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on June 8, 2014. Series: Following Jesus. Scripture: 2 Peter 1:3-11.

Do you love others in a Christ-like way?
In Tim Keller’s book Rediscovering Jonah he directs readers to see the gracious mercy God offers us through Christ even though we don’t deserve it. As you read, you’ll see how a rebellious prophet points us to God’s deep mercy and grace which can change us from being judgmental to Christ-like in the way we treat others. The book is our thanks for when you make a gift to help Gospel in Life reach more people with the gospel.
