Building God's Temple In the 21st Century America

In obedience to God's call through Haggai, the Jews built & dedicated the 2nd temple.  However, those who were old enough to have seen Solomon's temple were totally discouraged and wept because the second temple looked very insignificant compared to the magnitude of the first temple.  Then, the prophet Haggai proclaimed God's message to these people not to lose heart and to stand strong (2:1-5). A messianic prophecy of God's glory is also proclaimed in conjunction with the building of the temple. Today's message is about how we can apply Haggai's message as such to ourselves living in 21st century America.
