     | 541 views

    Our Old Testament Lesson brings us Isaiah 61, a wonderful lesson which speaks of the Messiah coming to redeem God's People. Jesus made this the first recorded sermon He preached in Luke 4, telling the men of Nazareth that He is the Messiah Isaiah told about.

    The Lord asks, "Is it a time for you to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house (the Temple) lies in ruins?" – Haggai 1:4. This is one of the most piercing questions in all scripture, especially given our wealth in this country.

    Haggai Haggai wrote during one of the most challenging times in Jewish history. His prophecies inspired the people to persevere and stay committed to God during that difficult time. Aside from the fact that he was a prophet, we know little about the man. His name means "festival," perhaps ...read more
