Tim Keller | October 20, 1996
What does it mean to receive Christ? What does it mean to live as a Christian? We’re going to look at the single best place where Jesus explains how to follow him: Matthew 5-7, the Sermon on the Mount.
If you go through it verse by verse, you learn a tremendous number of details about what it means to be a Christian. But when you look at it as a whole, you see some broad strokes, some grand themes. Let’s look at it as a whole.
The Sermon on the Mount tells us 1) what we are to do in the Christian life, 2) why we are to do it, and 3) how we are to achieve it.

In The Prodigal God, Tim Keller examines the way Jesus presents the parable to speak both to those who run from God and to those who try to earn his love by being good. It reveals the heart of the gospel—a message of hope for both the rebellious younger brother and the judgmental older brother, and an invitation for all to experience God’s grace.
