The Book Of Haggai | Making God Our Priority
Shared on: Oct 31, 2022
While the Temple was in shambles, the people were first concerned about making sure their houses were perfectly in order. As you go through the Book of Haggai, you see that we have the same issue as the Old Testament Church. We are so often worrying about the 20 items of on our to-do lists rather than being concerned about the worship of the Triune God. While we make sure to eat three times a day, we can still find an excuse as to why we don't have enough time to be in the Word and in prayer. Proclaim the message of Haggai to your congregation this Lord's Day and call them, from the Scriptures, to make God the number one priority in their life.
