Haggai | Fully Devoted
When God’s people returned from exile they went about focusing on their own interests and lavishly rebuilding their houses while God’s temple lay in ruins. Instead, the prophet Haggai called them to be fully devoted to God and to rebuild the Temple; to once again make them a light to the nations and foreshadowing the future blessing of lives built on the foundation of Jesus.

The A,B,C's of Christian Obedience | Harrison Campus | Haggai - Fully Devoted
Haggai 1:12-15
It is always so encouraging to witness repentant obedience in a person’s life. Unfortunately, often changes of heart like these are few and far between. Nevertheless, Haggai had the opportunity to witness the Jews in Jerusalem turn quickly from their self-centredness and in obedience begin rebuilding the LORD’s temple. This sermon explores what enabled their obedience and what enables Christian obedience today.

A Call To Right Priorities | Harrison & Lake Errock Campuses | Haggai - Fully Devoted
Haggai 1:1-11
The book of Haggai is a short, specific message at a unique time and place in history, but the heart attitude of the people living in Jerusalem at the time is a timeless one. God’s people had failed to place him first. Thus God called his people to prioritize building his kingdom and seek him first. This 6th century BC call through the minor prophet Haggai rings equally true today.
