Free Keller

I'm sure that Redeemer Church in NYC has its reasons for charging those who want a copy of a sermon by its pastor Tim Keller, but I've found the policy a bit disappointing.

Now, they've cracked the archives a bit with the release of 150 sermons which are downloadable for free.

I appreciate the desire of Redeemer to not detract from the ministry of the local church by creating a virtual church of those who find it sufficient to listen to sermons.

"Redeemer’s primary method of evangelism has always been through the planting of gospel-centered churches. The Free Sermon Resource is not intended as a “broadcast ministry” which would create “virtual” members listening from home, rather than getting involved in their local congregations. Instead, we hope that this will serve as a “resource” for the broader movement of the gospel in the world: both as an evangelistic tool to share with our inquiring friends, neighbors and co-workers, and as a way of sharing our core principles, or “DNA,” to assist in the planting and nurturing of gospel-centered churches around the world - many of them in places difficult to reach via traditional means."

Of course, other free sermons are ALWAYS available here....
