About this episode

Timothy Keller discusses the transformative nature of living a Christian life and the roles of Christians as a holy priesthood.

To live a Christian life is much more transformative than just trying to live better. If you’re a Christian, you are a living stone in the temple of the Holy Spirit, and you are a holy priesthood called to do sacrifices to the Lord, because you’re related to the cornerstone, Jesus Christ. Now that’s quite an image. What does it all mean? Let’s unpack that under three headings: 1) what we are called to be, 2) what we’re called to do, and 3) how we can be enabled and empowered to do it. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on June 29, 2014. Series: Following Jesus. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:4-10.
