Tim Keller has a new book coming out entitled “The Reason for God; Belief in an age of skepticism.” The book is based on a series of sermons preached at Keller’s church Redeemer Presbyterian in New York. The church is currently offering the original sermons as free downloads. This page will allow you to download them.

"Preaching and Sightings of Calvary" By C. J. Mahaney

C.J. Mahaney writes about how he learned the importance of consciously preaching the cross of Christ in each sermon.

“We must never assume the gospel. We must always assume that those we serve need to hear the gospel yet again. Any sermon we preach is incomplete and insufficient until we explicitly reference Christ and him crucified.” C.J. Mahaney

“The preachers’ commission is to declare the whole counsel of God; but the cross is the centre of that counsel, and the Puritans knew that the traveller through the Bible landscape misses his way as soon as he loses sight of the hill called Calvary.” J.I. Packer
