Haggai


Tony Garland

The message of Haggai is one of both correction and encouragement. Haggai spoke God's Word to Israel in the 6th century B.C. following the release of the Jews from the Babylonian Captivity and contains important principles for God's people in every age. [4 hours 39 minutes]

02 Haggai 1 5-11 Haggai 1:5-11 - Consider Your Ways!
The people of Israel were working hard, but gaining little. Just when they they seemed to be getting ahead they encountered lack. What could be wrong?

04 Haggai 2 1-9 Haggai 2:1-9 - Seeing Through Spiritual Eyes
From a merely human viewpoint, the glory of Zerubbabel's temple did not measure up to that of its predecessor: the glorious temple built by David's son Solomon. Yet, with God's Spirit involved in the work, a day of small beginnings was used of God to prepare for events which would eclipse those of Solomon's time. [51 minutes]

The people of Haggai's day were deceived: they believed their hard work was getting them ahead. But their service to God was lacking -- even considered unclean by God. God refused to bless them until their disobedience turned to obedience. [46 minutes]
