We look at our fifth core value this Sunday at Redeemer, BEAUTY, and I can't wait!
"A cabbage needs no companions to be a perfect cabbage, but men desperately require all sorts of other people if they are to achieve their aims in life: parents, sibilings, friends, teachers, writers, musicians. Maturing, fulfilling, and happy relationships are replete with experiences of the beautiful, and no life is complete without them."
Thomas Dubay, The Evidential Power of Beauty: Science and Theology Meet, 19
yes...the one we've all been waiting for. can't wait.

“ Beautiful things are those which please when seen. Hence beauty consists in due proportion, for the senses delight in things duly proportioned, as in what is after their own kind - because even sense is a sort of reason, just as is every knowing power. ” - Summa I. 5.4.
probably not a useful reference for your sermon; just an interesting thought on beauty
