~Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758), Puritan pastor and theologian

“Anything can serve as a counterfeit god, especially the very best things in life.”

~Tim Keller, contemporary pastor and author

“To see Jesus in glory will be the sight of God for which we have so long ached.”

~David Mathis, contemporary pastor and writer

“Hope is what you do when you can’t see into the future
See my hope is not a verb, my hope is found in a noun.”

~Corrie Ten Boom (1892-1983), writer and Holocaust survivor

Sermon Passage

Psalm 16 (ESV)

¹  Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
²  I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you.”
³  As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,
in whom is all my delight.
⁴ The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply;
their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out
or take their names on my lips.
⁵  The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;
you hold my lot.
⁶  The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
⁷  I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;
in the night also my heart instructs me.
⁸  I have set the Lord always before me;
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
⁹  Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices;
my flesh also dwells secure.
¹⁰ For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
or let your holy one see corruption.
¹¹ You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
