Discipline of Desire 2

What does experience of God actually consist of? How does it happen? And how do I know if I’m experiencing God?
Psalm 63 shows several principles of what a real experience of God is and consists of. Each principle can be used as a test on your own heart. And each principle is also a discipline—a practical handle for what to do to draw near to God.
We’re going to look at two of these principles: 1) you develop a spiritual appetite and, 2) you are capable of a new sense of God.
This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 26, 1997. Series: Lessons in Drawing Near. Scripture: Psalm 63.
