Haggai Part 2 Chapter 2

This week we’re concluding our two-part series in the minor prophet book of Haggai. Last week we learned about how the Jewish people slowly allowed their priorities to shift from rebuilding the Temple to building up their homes and lives. This week Chris will show us how their expectations were left unmet as they rebuilt the Temple. The Temple wasn’t as beautiful as Solomon’s Temple, but God once again encourages them to keep going. It’s a valuable lesson for all of us. Also on the program: Apples of Gold and news surrounding Israel.

When Prophets Speak of Judgment

Do you find it hard to relate to the people and times of the  minor prophets? Books, like Habakkuk, Zephaniah, and Haggai? These were prophecies written thousands of years ago, but the truth is the spiritual issues surrounding their circumstances are similar to what you may be facing today.

In the book When Prophets Speak of Judgment, we see how the messages of Habakkuk, Zephaniah, and Haggai are warnings that challenge us to see life from God’s point of view. This book is an encouragement to “redeem the time” as we move ever closer to the last days!
