Sunday's sermon, which I turned into a blog post with accompanying audio, video, and notes:
https://www.scottlapierre.org/blessed-are-those-whose-sins-are-covered/
God took away Adam and Eve’s fig leaves and clothed them himself. He stopped them from covering themselves, and he covered them. This is a physical picture of a spiritual reality. God doesn’t want us to cover our sins. He wants to cover our sins for us. In Psalm 32:1 David wrote, “Blessed are those whose sins are covered.” We can’t cover our sins. When we try, we fail. We still see our sin. It is always before us. But when we confess our sin, and God covers it, it is hidden from sight, never to be seen again.

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.
