TGC Conference: Tim Keller

The first session of The Gospel Coalition Conference was given by Tim Keller. If you don't already know Pastor Keller, I suggest you get to know him... fast! Be sure to check out his page on Monergism.com. Monergism has many free sermons, manuscripts, and resources all by Keller himself.

Here is a brief synopsis of this highly influential pastor. He is the pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Manhattan, New York. According to Christianity Today, the church is "one of Manhattan's most vital congregations." He has written five books which include The Reason for God, The Prodigal God, and one due out in October, Counterfeit Gods. All of them come highly recommended.

Keller's talk was entitled The Grand Demythologizer: The Gospel and Idolatry. The main point of his talk was this: "Without challenging the idols of our day, effective gospel ministry cannot happen." He then went on to discuss how to discern, expose, and destroy idols. Here is the audio and video for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
