Lord of the City

You can’t escape the city anymore. Technology means the kids in the farmlands of Iowa are getting immersed in the culture that’s formed in the cities. The problems of cities dominate the regions and societies in which those cities exist. 

But as we see in Genesis, the city is a fundamental part of the human condition. And the Bible has some profound things to say about how Christians should understand the city. 

In Genesis 10 and 11, we learn three things: 1) the need for cities, 2) the problem we have in cities, and 3) how God is healing cities.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on January 7, 2021. Series: Genesis – The Gospel According to God. Scripture: Genesis 10:31-11:9.
