'I Am With You'

Haggai 1:12-15

Last time we looked at the diagnosis of the problem in Jerusalem from God’s perspective and sat that it was the failure of God’s people to rebuild the house of the LORD. We saw also God prescribe the remedy in chapter 1 verse 8,“Go up into the mountains and bring down timber and build the house so that I may take pleasure in it and be honoured, says the LORD.”
The remedy was obedience, it was getting on with the task that God had given them to do. Today we look at how the people responded to God’s word through Haggai.


Message Points:

  1. The Obedience of the Remnant
  2. The LORD’s Promise to the Remnant
  3. The Spirit’s Awakening of the Remnant

Application Questions:

  1. How does God’s Word operate powerfully? (Isaiah 55:10-11; 1 Thessalonians 1:4-6)
    Can you recall specific occasions where you have experienced the power of God’s Word in your life?

  2. What daunting tasks or challenges do you need to face where you particularly need to be assured that God is with you? Commit these things to the Lord now.

  3. In what ways can we be stirred up when we are spiritually lethargic? (Look at Hebrews 3:12-13; Revelation 3:14-20 & Ephesians 5:18-20)
