The Cosmic Spirit

As we end our series on the Holy Spirit, we come to maybe the most astonishing thing the Holy Spirit does for us.

We’ve looked at a number of well-known things the Holy Spirit does in us and for us. He calls us and enables us to believe. He regenerates us, creates Christ-like character in us, unites us inside the church, and empowers us with his gifts so we can serve people around us. But now we look at a passage that tells us about the ultimate, the final thing the Holy Spirit does for us.

Let’s notice from the text 1) what the Spirit will do for us in the future, 2) what the Spirit, therefore, can do for us in the present, and 3) how we can let the Spirit do that in our lives.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on September 12, 2010. Series: The Holy Spirit. Scripture: Romans 8:17-25.

The ministry f the Holy Spirit like I never heard

I have studied the ministry of the Holy Spirit before. But I have never before heard it like this. Pastor Keller infuses the certain hope of redemption by the Spirit into the practicality of daily life. He opened up to me what this groaning is by the Holy Spirit ...and Jesus ...when He was abandoned by the Father as He bore the payment for our sins and as He empathized with one of us before healing him, knowing that this awful suffering the man was experiencing will be His on the cross. I am so grateful to Gospel in Life for making this podcast.
