Desire To Live

So, I go the chance to go to my first Gospel Coalition. It was amazing. Beyond amazing. I think I heard one of the best John Piper sermons. Tim Keller, Phil Ryken, and Mark Driscoll also preached and they did a great job, overall. I wanted to post the sermon outlines for some of these sermons that i found online. The actual sermons should be up for a download in a few days.

Tim Keller's Sermon Outline:
The Grand Demythologizer: The Gospel and Idolatry (Acts 19:21-41)

This was the first time I had a chance to hear any of these guys preach live, though between the 4 of them, I have heard hundreds of sermons through podcasts, vodcasts, and feeds. It seemed that Piper came ready today, he was on fire! When he did his opening prayer, I was literally in tears. First time I've ever cried over a public prayer. Powerful stuff. Also, he did not disappoint in teaching the text. I've studied 1 & 2 Timothy extensively for 6 months and he blew me away by his teaching. Keller's sermon was also very insightful. Well worth taking the time to watch.
