War Between Your Selves - Tim Keller




War Between Your Selves Part 2: http://www.gospelinlife.com/war-betwe...

"Everyone has a war within themselves. We all want to live according to a high moral code, but none of us can meet the demands of our moral code. The reason for this is that inside of ourselves there is a desire for evil as well as a desire for good. Therefore, none of us can win the battle. But the battle changes when we become a Christian. The deepest parts of ourselves change so that for the first time our most inner being delights in the law of God. We move from a battle we cannot win to a battle we cannot lose."

Additional scriptural references made in this sermon are: Acts 9:4; Galatians 5:17; Romans 2:15; Colossians 3:1-10; 2 Corinthians 5:21.

In the World, Not of the World, But For the World

We are sent into the world to reach people for Christ. While we are not *of* the world we are *in* the world and, as Randy Alcorn​ reminds us, called by God to be salt and light.

John Lin - Prophetic Work

A prophet is someone who speaks God's truth. This makes it particularly intriguing that when Jesus feeds the hungry in the Gospel of John, he is recognized as a prophet without giving any speeches. This means that, like Jesus, we can communicate prophetically to the world through our deeds and our work. With the Bible as our guide, we can communicate the message of peace and flourishing that Jesus brings.

Tim Keller - The Theology of the Cross and Walking with a Limp

God sacrifices himself for those who are weak. What if the cross is the way God works through everyone he loves? We wrestle for blessings from our work, family and other idols but we can only get blessings from God. Tim Keller explores this thesis and says that all Christians with true joy have a limp like Jacob.

Identifying Obstacles to Prayer

How can we rely on God through prayer to be strengthened and equipped for our daily work? What are some common obstacles to prayer and how can we combat them? Lourine Clark and David H. Kim discuss in the first of three prayer events for the Center for Faith & Work.

Isaiah 6: Responding to the Right Call

God brings a disruptive vision into Isaiah's life to prepare and inspire him for a challenging call during a time of massive change for Israel. David H. Kim explains why we need to see what Isaiah saw to keep our vision focused upon God's work in the world and how our work uniquely displays his glory. This is the only antidote to our blinding pride and cowardly fears.
