Once you listen to one of Dr. Tim Keller’s sermons at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in NYC, you’ll be hooked.

There are a lot of reasons why Keller seems so spot-on.  One of them is his approach to how the Church, with a capital C, should approach Culture — with the aim of radical and penetrating transformation.

Dr. Keller recently spoke about Cultural Transformation a couple of weeks ago at the Westminster Chapel in London. Some of the points he makes are piercing and so full of truth, that you’ll find your head nodding in agreement many times during the videos.

The observation of how culture has robbed Christianity / religion of most of its assets is an interesting one. He certainly frames the path well which our world has taken to get to our now post-Christian world in this video. . .

The first video was actually his last session of the day.  The next video below is from his first session - where he was preaching on Gospel & Christ-centered preaching itself — and about the issue of being culturally transforming.

Christ & Culture has been a long-debated issue regarding how the Church should approach it. Dr. Keller’s angle certainly has a lot of merit. Redeemer Presbyterian’s Center for Faith and Work is just one of the tangible examples in the making to carry out some of this vision.

Did any parts of his framework hit you in the right places? Or did you find yourself shaking your head in other places? Where? Why?
