Heard any great sermons on this verse?
I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. (Matt 16:18, NASB)
I have, several times, inspiring ones! I love the verse. I love the image of the church marching against hell and crushing it.
So I eagerly read Kevin DeYoung's short article about this verse. First I got mad. Then I read it again, and took a more sober view. This was a very helpful exercise for me in re-thinking my critical Bible analysis approach.
I recommend the article to you, dear teachers, for the same reasons -- let's be careful in our interpretation of Scripture and use Scripture as our primary guide to interpreting Scripture.

Hi! Have you read the Homily on this topic by St. Augustine?
John, I have not -- can you point me to a reference?
Hi! Sorry, the homily is by Chrysostom not Augustine:
