Sermon
Generosity in Scarcity
By Tim Keller
Sermon
A Community of Justice (Part 2)
Tim Keller | January 17, 2010
Overview
We’re looking at the book of James, which is a book that asks and answers this question: If you really believed the gospel of Jesus, if you really believed what Jesus said he came to do, what would that mean for the way in which you live your life every day? What does that look like on the ground? What practically does that look like?
Every single week, we’re looking at another part of the book of James, in which he’s showing us how belief in the gospel affects the way we actually live day to day. James is contrasting God’s wisdom with the world’s wisdom or with what the Bible calls foolishness.
Let’s look at it under four headings. What he’s telling us here is about 1) a problem we have, 2) the reasons it is a problem, 3) the thing that can make the problem worse, and 4) the thing that can make the problem better or solve it.

Is Your Identity in Your Achievements or in Christ?
In this booklet, Tim Keller looks at how one can become a gospel-humble person who is neither too self-condemning, nor too self-loving, but instead is transformed by the gospel to be a self-forgetful person, loving our neighbors like we love ourselves.
