Gods Priorities | Haggai 1

In this powerful exploration of the book of Haggai, we're challenged to examine our priorities and the consequences of delayed obedience. The central message revolves around God's people neglecting the rebuilding of His temple while focusing on their own comfort. This story serves as a stark reminder that putting our own desires before God's will leads to emptiness and frustration. The parallels drawn between the Israelites' situation and our modern lives are striking - how often do we say 'not yet' to God's calling? We're encouraged to reflect on areas where we might be procrastinating in our spiritual lives. The sermon beautifully connects the rebuilding of the physical temple to the ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, reminding us that true satisfaction comes not from worldly pursuits, but from living in God's presence and participating in His kingdom work. This message compels us to ask ourselves: What is God calling us to do today that we've been putting off?
