Haggai - Relationship in Ruins

We begin looking at the exilic minor prophets beginning with Haggai. When Haggai arrives in Jerusalem, the Temple was still in ruins and had not been worked on for 17 years! Facing opposition, the Israelites decided they would stop working on rebuilding the Temple and instead, get their own houses built, their fields planted, and make themselves and their families comfortable. The Israelites neglect of the Temple and their desire to live in peace with everyone and in comfort, is more about their relationship with God than it is about a building. And God has something to say about it! Join us as we delve into the book of Haggai.
