Tim Keller

The Way to Servanthood

June 17, 2022

On the cross, Jesus Christ gave Christians a new attitude toward the world — one of mission and servanthood. How does the cross turn us into servants? This sermon will show us that 1) Jesus came to give his life as a ransom and 2) The cross creates a new purpose for us. 

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on March 20, 1994. Series: The Cross and Your Life. Scripture: Mark 10:35-45.

The name reflects our conviction that the gospel changes everything in life. In 1989 Dr. Timothy J. Keller, his wife and three young sons moved to New York City to begin Redeemer Presbyterian Church. He has since become a bestselling author, an influential thinker, and an advocate for ministry in cities and to secular people.
