Money and the Logic of Grace
Playback speed
How should Christians view their money and their possessions?
We’re looking at the Gospel of Luke, because Luke has much to say on this subject. How does God want us to think about money in general? What should our attitude be toward it? How should we relate to giving and spending?
In Luke 14, we see two things: 1) Jesus Christ lays out a standard for sacrificial giving that’s so astonishing it will seem unreasonable, and 2) Jesus actually shows how reasonable this kind of giving is.
This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on June 20, 2010. Series: Money and Possessions – In the Teaching of St. Luke. Scripture: Luke 14:7-24.
