Playback speed
The gospel brings great goods into our lives. This text tells us a lot about one of them: reconciliation. We’re reconciled to God.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 24, 2016. Series: Bible: What We Are Receiving: The Gospel Goods. Scripture: Hebrews 9:11-14.
