Tim Keller: Gospel Ministry Challenges Idolatry

In his message at TGC's 2009 national conference, Tim Keller introduces gospel ministry through the lens of 2 Timothy, highlighting the critical but often implicit task of confronting idols.Drawing from Acts 19 and Paul’s example, Keller shows how gospel preaching challenges both personal and cultural idols—ranging from money and family to truth and morality—by disrupting the systems built around them. He emphasizes that only the gospel has the power to expose, confront, and ultimately destroy these idols, and he urges pastors and ministry leaders to apply its truth for genuine transformation.
