“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.” (John 14:12 ESV)

ESV Study Bible Notes on John 14:12 Jesus did not mean greater works in power, but in extent. They would become witnesses to all the world through the power of the indwelling and infilling of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8) and would bring many to salvation because of the Helper dwelling in them. The focus is on spiritual rather than physical miracles. The book of Acts constitutes the beginning historical record of the impact that the Spirit-empowered disciples had on the world (cf. Acts 17:6). The only way Jesus’ disciples would be able to be used to do those greater works was through the power of the Holy Spirit, and he could not be sent as the Helper until Jesus returned to the Father (John 14:26; 7:39).

Tim Keller on writing a sermon. Always inspiring. 14-16 hours of preparation at least, and then 4 sermons on Sunday. About 25 hours working on what he says. How about that.

This sermon will give you so much joy. Ligon Duncan preaches the best sermon ever on 1  Kings 19 and the depression of Elijah and God’s faithfulness for the joy of one of his faithful ministers. Perhaps this too, is for you.

As the bridegroom to his chosen, as the king unto his realm, 
As the keeper to the castle, as the pilot to the helm. 
As the captain to his soldiers, as the shepherd to his lambs, 
So, Lord, art thou to me. 

As the fountain in the garden, as the candle in the dark, 
As the treasure in the coffer, as the manna in the ark, 
As the firelight in the winter,As the sunlight in the spring
So Lord art thou to me. 

As the music at the banquet, as the stamp unto the seal, 
As refreshment to the fainting, as the winecup at the meal, 
As the singing on the feast day, as the amen to the prayer, 
So Lord art thou to me. 

As the ruby in the setting, as the honey in the comb
As the light within the lantern, as the father in the home, 
As the eagle in the mountains, as the sparrow in the nest, 
So Lord art thou to me. 

As the sunshine in the heavens, as the image in the glass, 
As the fruit unto the fig tree, as the dew unto the grass, 
As the rainbow on the hilltop, as the river in the plain, 
So Lord art thou to me.

I’ve heard this a number of times now, but I really like it.
