     | 3,682 views

    Today many believers have their priorities in life mixed up just like in Haggai’s day, which will rob them of personal satisfaction and hinder the flow of God’s blessings in their lives just like it did the Israelites in Haggai’s day.

    Sermon – “Consider Your Ways” Scripture Text: Haggai Chapter 1-15 Introduction: Let me share a story with you about some church people… It’s about 4 people in the church whose names were Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

It describes a dramatic encounter between Saul and Jesus on the road to Damascus…the encounter that started Saul down a new path that would make him the most prolific evangelist of the early church and ...read more
