Haggai’s times - August 29, 520 BC
 
Introduction of Haggai:
 
 
  
So what does the Lord Almighty say?
God is encouraging His people, though it may not seem that way at first.
 

  Haggai 1:
 
  • verse 2, God makes it clear that yes, He knows what’s going on.
 
  • verse 4, God makes His point -- the Judeans were being selfish.
 
  • verses 5-7, God reiterates that He knows the problems that they’ve suffered. He tells them to “Give careful thought to [their] ways”. He says it twice!
 
Then He tells them what they need to do to “fix it”
-- “go to the mountains, get lumber, and rebuild the temple”.
 
 
He was trying to remind them of the job they were sent to do!
 
 
 
In chapter 2 they get upset because
they don’t feel like what they’ve done is good enough.

 
Then, he makes three encouraging promises to the people:
 
  •  He reminds them of the promise He made to their ancestors. v. 5
 
  •  He promises that the Holy Spirit would remain with them. v.5
 
  • He promises them that the temple they just built would surpass that of King Solomon! Word for word. v. 9
 
 
Has God promised something to you, but you feel like He hasn’t delivered yet? Remember that God always keeps His promises…
 
The only question is how and when -- and that’s the fun part.
 
Be encouraged!

    David Craig, Pastor

    I began my journey as the Lead Pastor in June 2011.  Prior to coming to Shreveport I served in Texas, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.  I studied religion and music at Southern Nazarene University and received my M.A. degree from Nazarene Theological Seminary.

    I was raised in a Christian home where I was exposed to the Lord at an early age.  As a junior in high school I felt a call to serve Jesus for a lifetime in the ministry.

    I and my wife, Dawn, have two sons. Caleb is a graduate of Southern Nazarene University and Adam attends ULM in Monroe, La

    In my spare time I enjoy sports of all kinds, but especially the Texas Longhorns.
