What Are You Building?

Haggai

 

 

Call to Worship - Luke 1: 68-69, 72, 78-79
68 “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,
    because he has come to his people and redeemed them.
69 He has raised up a horn of salvation for us
    in the house of his servant David
72 to show mercy to our ancestors
    and to remember his holy covenant,
78 because of the tender mercy of our God,
    by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
79 to shine on those living in darkness
    and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.”

Sermon - Haggai 1: 1-15
1 In the second year of King Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest:
2 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “These people say, ‘The time has not yet come to rebuild the Lord’s house.’”
3 Then the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai: 
4 “Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses, while this house remains a ruin?”
5 Now this is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways. 
6 You have planted much, but harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.”
7 This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways. 
8 Go up into the mountains and bring down timber and build my house, so that I may take pleasure in it and be honored,” says the Lord. 
9 “You expected much, but see, it turned out to be little. What you brought home, I blew away. Why?” declares the Lord Almighty. “Because of my house, which remains a ruin, while each of you is busy with your own house. 
10 Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth its crops. 
11 I called for a drought on the fields and the mountains, on the grain, the new wine, the olive oil and everything else the ground produces, on people and livestock, and on all the labor of your hands.”
12 Then Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest, and the whole remnant of the people obeyed the voice of the Lord their God and the message of the prophet Haggai, because the Lord their God had sent him. And the people feared the Lord.
13 Then Haggai, the Lord’s messenger, gave this message of the Lord to the people: “I am with you,” declares the Lord. 
14 So the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of the whole remnant of the people. They came and began to work on the house of the Lord Almighty, their God, 
15 on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month.

Introduction to Haggai

Haggai

Call to Worship - Adapted from Psalm 147:1-12
Praise the LORD! It is good to sing praises to our God. For praise is pleasant, and a song of praise is appropriate. The LORD rebuilds Jerusalem; He gathers Israel’s exiled people.

HE HEALS THE BROKEN-HEARTED AND BANDAGES THEIR WOUNDS.

He counts all of the stars and names them. Our Lord is great and abundant in power. His understanding is infinite.

THE LORD HELPS THE OPPRESSED, BUT BRINGS THE WICKED TO THE GROUND.

Let’s sing to the LORD with thanksgiving and play musical instruments to our God. Let’s set our attention and affection firmly on Him.

THE LORD DELIGHTS IN THOSE WHO FEAR HIM, IN THOSE WHO HOPE IN HIS FAITHFUL LOVE.

Praise the LORD, people of God! Praise your God, Church! Praise our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ! It is good to sing praises to our God.

Sermon - Haggai 1:1
1 In the second year of King Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jozadak, the high priest:

    The Resurrection of The Son Of God

     

    Call to Worship - 1 Peter 1:3-5
    3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
    4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you,
    5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

    Sermon - Mark 15:40 - 16:8
    15:40 Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph, and Salome.
    41 In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.
    42 It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached,
    43 Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body.
    44 Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died.
    45 When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph.
    46 So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.
    47 Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where he was laid.

    16:1 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body.
    2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb 3 and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?”
    4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away.
    5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
    6 “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him.
    7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’”
    8 Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.
