Rebuilding is no easy task. It's hard enough to start a project and see it through to completion the first time around, so to have to do it all over again can feel like a waste of time. In the Bible, we see on numerous occasions that this isn't just true of physical buildings either. In fact, buildings seem to represent our own lives, and our relationship with our own master builder, who is also our foundation: God himself. While we are being built into a 'spiritual temple' for him, the book of Haggai forces us to acknowledge our weaknesses, and examine our lives. Are we prioritising being 'built' by God? Is he the foundation we set our lives on? Or are we letting sin distract us from our purpose, because being built and rebuilt by God for his glory doesn't feel as important as the things of this world?
Preacher: Jordan Gommer
