The Silver Scrolls
This past Sunday I taught on the Aaronic Benediction. In the introduction to the teaching, I mentioned an amazing discovery in recent years of two small silver amulets which contain the Aaronic Benediction.
Longing For Our Glorious Eternal Home
Last Sunday I taught on Romans 8:18-25, which I called “Bound for Glory!” After finishing, I re-listened to CS Lewis’s classic sermon “The Weight of Glory” – which is one of my favorite short writings of Lewis. In it, he speaks much of the glory that will be ours in eternity. The entire sermon is worth reading (or listening to an audio reading of it), and it is full of great quotes. Today, however, I just want to give two quotes that point to our longing for our glorious eternal home.
God’s Grandeur

Some Quotes on Humility
On Sunday we looked at the story of the Syro-Phoenecian woman. I don’t know about you, but I had to wrestle with this text a bit!
