The Church Before the Watching World - Timothy Keller [Sermon]

Thank You Lord for this sermon 🙏🏻

I notice that Tim smuggles the same glorious truth about grace in the gospel in all his sermons, praise God.

Wow, this is so beyond any teaching that I have experienced on the Jonah story. What a call to action while balanced in appropriate humility and grace for all people. Touching on so many issues that are so relevant to all that we face today. Tim's teaching is such a treasure of the deep wisdom in scripture.

Wow this was preached in 1990. This time the sermon is not so organized as before like three major things. Yet it had impact to me so thanks.

Thanks for this amazingly profound sermon. It seems that "homo religiosus" is inherently disinclined to trust God. But when the Gospel is preached the Spirit of God creates faith in the heart that can lead to genuine salvation by grace. It is the responsibility of Believers to present the Gospel to the sailors on this sinking ship called Earth. There are many people groups across the world that have never heard the Gospel in a way that can lead to true faith and conversion.

Interestingly, the city of Nineveh in Iraq speak Aramaic that Jesus spoke in his time. Very few places in the Middle East continue to use the Jesus time Aramaic. Assyrians in Iraq, though they are Muslims, also speak that language.

Assyrian in northern Iraq (and surrounding countries + about 100,000 in the USA) speak Aramaic (as well as the language of the countries they live in). In Iraq, they were living stable lives, free to worship as Christians, until the USA invaded, which as result militant Islamic militias, ISIS, Shite, and Sunni viewed them as a target. Persecution began and is still on-going.

Jonah first refused to obey God's command to go to Nineveh. He finally obeyed after experiencing three days in the Big Fish, could-be whales. In the ancient Mediterranean sea were found whales and sharks. The moral of Jonah's story is very very simple: obey God.
