Across three sessions we walk the wholebook — the historical setting, the call to rebuild, the assurance of "I amwith you," the comparing of past glory to present, the warning againstdefilement, and the closing word about Zerubbabel as God's signet ring.May we be a people who build our temples for his glory.▸ Start with Week 1 for the introduction▸ Subscribe so you don't miss new studies▸ Share with a friend who would be encouraged----------00:00 The three sermons of Haggai 201:41 Comparing temples02:26 Be strong and do the work04:19 Do not fear06:31 Defilement and blessing08:43 Cleanse hands and hearts10:44 Zerubbabel as signet ring12:52 Building our temples today14:06 Closing prayer----------#BookOfHaggai #BibleStudy #BethStudies #MinorProphets #RebuildingTheTemple
