Today's sermon, which I turned into a blog post with accompanying audio, video, and notes:

In Luke 17:22-30 lightning is a metaphor for the Second Coming of Christ. Just as lightning is visible, quick, and unexpected, Jesus’s Second Coming be too. In Acts 1:11 the angels said Jesus would return from heaven the same way that He ascended to heaven: bodily and physically for all to see.

The men who remembered Solomon's temple wept when they saw the new foundation. It was smaller. Plainer. Poorer.
And God said its glory would be GREATER.
He wasn't talking about the building.

The old men who had seen Solomon's temple wept when they saw the new foundation.
Not because the work was bad. Because it wasn't what they remembered.
God's answer to discouraged builders was one word: Work.
