Re: Gospel Growth

November 13, 2008

Joe,

Thanks for pointing us to that quote and to Keller’s book.  As you know, God has used Tim Keller in my life in a big way over the past year or so, and that idea of gospel growth has been one of the foundational lessons I have learned from him.  I also thought Prodigal God was an outstanding book, though I would like a definition from you that explains what qualifies a book as ‘must-read’.  You seem to say that about every book you read!

Maybe in your next post you could give an example or two of how the idea of gospel growth works itself out practially in your life.  In other words, give us an example from your life of a situation where a fresh encounter with the gospel actually changed your response to that situation.

I will try to give an example of my own tomorrow, but for now I wanted to point readers to a recent sermon series that Keller just finished up on the parable of the Prodigal Sons.  Keller spent seven weeks looking at the parable, and showing how God’s grace forms a unique community of believers.

If you have not listened to Keller, there are plenty of free resources out there.  But this series is only available for purchase ($17.50 for MP3’s of the seven messages).  Though it does cost some money, I recommend it.
