Haggai, Exposition # 1 of 2

THIS SERIES IS NOW COMPLETE. The sermons of Haggai can be dated to the exact day. Each of the four messages took place in the second year of Darius’ reign in 520 BC. Haggai’s messages are conviction, courage, cleanliness, and consummation. He speaks of misplaced priorities, and seeking life through pleasure and possessions. There are many direct applications for Christian living found in Haggai. As was true 2500 years ago, the admonition, “consider your ways” still stands. Often we find we are more concerned with our own comforts, rather than putting God first. Fresh examination of misplaced priorities is important as a change of heart always precedes acceptable worship, increased knowledge of the Word, with the result being more satisfaction with life in Christian service. This Verse-by-Verse exposition of Haggai is the in-depth type of teaching one might expect to receive while attending a seminary or Bible college. For best use in studying this series, please have your Bible open to the passages read.
