Yesterday's sermon, which I turned into a blog post with accompanying audio, video, and notes:
https://www.scottlapierre.org/progressive-sanctification/
Progressive sanctification is the process of becoming more like Jesus. Justification is the once-for-all-time moment God declares us righteous by faith in Christ. Progressive sanctification begins after justification and continues throughout our Christian lives until we receive glorified bodies. In 1 John 2:12-14 progressive sanctification is divided into three stages: children, young men, and fathers. God’s spiritual family is like human families, with members at different maturity levels.

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.
