The weekly sermon from Alfred Almond Bible Church in Almond, NY

Pastor Cana turns to Haggai 2:1-9, where the Temple of Jerusalem is in ruins and Israel believes it's impossible to return to its former glory, but God promises that their work isn't pointless. The glory to come will be even greater. For God's kingdom, things are not as they were, and by working with God, we can be a part of the later, greater glory.

Are We Preoccupied with God's House? What do we care for more than anything today? Just as we see in Haggai, most of the Christians today and many even among the recovered people seek their own things, taking care of their own house. Only the Lord really knows what's first for God's people today in the church life. Many times what emerges in practicality is a concern for our own house! We may say, Now it is not the time for God's house – it's not the right time for the house of God (Haggai 1:2). We may be preoccupied with our own house and with having a good living (1:4). But what God is delighted in and takes pleasure in is when we consider our own ways and go up to the mountain to bring materials and build God's house (vv. 7-8). Otherwise we will realize that we look for much but amount for little because God's house lies in waste while we each run to our own house (v. 9). We may be busy caring for our own houses, or we may not be like-minded with those taking the lead to build the house of God (see Phil. 2:19-20). What the enemy does in his stratagems to delay the building is to cool us down and, as we get married, have a family, have a house, take care of our human daily needs, we would become lukewarm and not care for God's house first. But we should NOT worry about our human needs – God knows what we need! Rather, we need to cast our cares upon Him and seek FIRST the kingdom of God, the building up of God's house! God may even allow us to suffer loss humanly, economically, or even reach a stage of becoming stale in our Christian life – so that we may return to the House of God and care first for God's house!

In this episode of Pray the Word on Haggai 2:4, David Platt encourages us to trust God to provide everything we need to obey Him. 

Haggai 1:1-15 & Zechariah 9:9&10   Title: Perspectives & Priorities   “The destruction of the temple was a defining moment for ancient Israel. As a result of the loss of the temple structure, it was no longer possible to worship the Lord according to the prescriptions of earlier Israelite practice. A large portion of the community was either dead as a result of the conflict with the Babylonians or were in exile in Babylon with great restrictions imposed on their religious freedom. The destruction of the temple was for those who survived an unpleasant reminder of the spiritual failures of the nation; its absence was a painful metaphor of the religious and moral condition of the community itself.” - Richard Taylor   A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies: “The people procrastinate. They say this isn't the right time to rebuild my Temple, the Temple of God.” Shortly after that, God said more and Haggai spoke it: “How is it that it's the ‘right time' for you to live in your fine new homes while the Home, God's Temple, is in ruins?” (2) (Haggai 1:2-4, MSG)   “Take a good, hard look at your life. Think it over. You have spent a lot of money, but you haven't much to show for it. You keep filling your plates, but you never get filled up. You keep drinking and drinking and drinking, but you're always thirsty. You put on layer after layer of clothes, but you can't get warm. And the people who work for you, what are they getting out of it? Not much— a leaky, rusted-out bucket, that's what.”  (Haggai 1:5–6 MSG)   “'The backwards law' [is] the idea that the more you pursue feeling better all the time, the less satisfied you become, as pursuing something only reinforces the fact that you lack it in the first place. The more you desperately want to be rich, the more poor and unworthy you feel, regardless of how much money you actually make. The more you desperately want to be sexy and desired, the uglier you come to see yourself, regardless of your actual physical appearance. The more you desperately want to be happy and loved, the lonelier and more afraid you become, regardless of those who surround you. The more you want to be spiritually enlightened, the more self-centered and shallow you become in trying to get there.”         - Mark Manson   “For whoever wants to save his life will lose it”  (Mark 8:35; Matt 16:25; Luke 9:24)   “Haggai made it clear that putting self first is always self-defeating…Ironically, even though these people were residing in the Promised Land with all of its potential blessing, their disobedience subjected them to the curse. The conditions of drought described in verses 10 and 11 echo Deuteronomy 28:38–40 in detailing the kind of chastisement inflicted upon covenant breakers. Not having God and kingdom-work as the main priority in life is serious. Putting God first equates to obeying the greatest of all the commandments to love God totally (Deut 6:5). Not putting him first equates to the greatest sin.”  - Michael Barrett   “When was the last time you did something outwardly "for God" that was actually inwardly motivated by personal gain? That's a hard question because it first requires the courage of humble honesty. It's not easy for us to admit that we prioritize ourselves over our Lord and Savior. But second, it's a hard question because we struggle to see our motives, words and actions with biblical accuracy.”   “Let me rephrase the question and lead with personal confession, using two examples from my own life and ministry. When was the last time you served someone you loved, not first because you wanted to freely sacrifice for their good, but because you were attempting to put them in your debt for later? When was the last time you participated in a public ministry activity, not first because you wanted to build the Kingdom of God, but because you wanted other people to notice, respect, admire, or accept you?”   “You see, in our everyday lives, the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of self are always at war with one another.   As long as sin remains, our motives, words and actions are shaped by a troublesome mix of the agenda of these two kingdoms. So today, I want to give you five questions to ask of yourself regularly. These questions are not designed to beat you down with guilt, but to give you eyes to see the deceptive kingdom of self.”   Self-Focus: Before making a decision, do you think, "What's in it for me?" or do you freely sacrifice for the good of another without expecting a return?   Self-Righteousness: Are you more concerned with, and on the lookout for, the sin, weakness and moral failure of others than you are your own?   Self-Satisfaction: Do you feel regularly discontent, always looking for something new to satisfy you, instead of being satisfied with a God-honoring life?   Self-Reliance: Do you avoid living in intrusive and intentional relationships, where others admit their need for grace and seek the help of biblical community?   Self-Rule: Which law gets the most attention and the quickest response in your life and relationships, the Word of God or your own desires?   “That's a pretty devastating list of questions! Which of us could ever measure up to that standard?” - Paul Tripp   “Here then is how the Spirit makes us wise. On the night before he died, Jesus told his disciples that he would send the Holy spirit and ‘when he, the Spirit of truth, come … he will glorify me …' (John 16:13-14). The Spirit does not make us wise in some magical kind of way, giving us little nudges and insider tips to help us always choose the best stock to invest in. Rather, he makes Jesus Christ a living, bright reality, transforming our character, giving us new inner poise, clarity, humility, boldness, contentment, and courage. All of this leads to increasing wisdom as the years go by, and to better and better professional and personal decisions.”  - Timothy Keller   “There is a Warrior Savior, and abundant grace for the battle of these two kingdoms! On the Cross, Jesus broke the power of the kingdom of self. He paid the debt for every self-centered motive, word and action that we prioritize over biblical living. On the Cross, Christ purchased power for us to obey, and with his resurrection, he guarantees that some day our kingdom conflict will be over. Until then, your Lord battles zealously on your behalf, and he will never rest until the battle is over.” - Paul Tripp          

Cum Sancto Spiritu – Come, Holy Spirit From Vivaldi's Gloria ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' declares the LORD Almighty. (Zech. 4:6). This magnificent piece of music from Vivaldi's Gloria, reminds us how much we need the Holy Spirit in our lives at all times. He is not an impersonal life force, but an integral part of the Holy Trinity. He empowers our worship and witness, and is our Comforter and Helper, as well as the One who inspires our words. He it is who convicts us of our sin, and who opens our hearts and minds to the things of God. He it is who enables us to bear the many-fold fruits of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22), and who empowers us to discern between different types of spirits, and to grasp the spiritual dynamics that are at work in different situations. He it is, too, who enables us to work miracles, participate in the ministry of healing, and understand and interpret unknown tongues. He is the One who tells us things that we could not possibly have known by any other means. (See 1 Cor. 12 and 14). We see the redeeming and renewing work of the Holy Spirit throughout the Scriptures, equipping judges, inspiring artists, and empowering both prophets and warriors for their work – whether for external projects such as building the temple of God (Haggai 2:5) or for sanctifying and empowering individual souls. (Ezekiel 3:24a, 27a). He is likewise the One from whose all-seeing eye we can never hide! (Ps. 139:7) No wonder David prayed that, so far from taking His Spirit from him, the Lord would renew a right and willing spirit within him. (Ps. 51:10-12) In all this work, the Holy Spirit (who Jesus calls ‘the Spirit of Truth') does not operate on His own, but always in tandem together with the other members of the Holy Trinity as He unveils and reveals God's heavenly truths to us. (John 16:13-14) He is the breath and wind of God, who renews and gives life to all living things, as well as renewing the face of the earth. (Ps. 104:30). May we seek with all our heart to honour the Holy Spirit in our daily life by trusting in His nearness, and by calling on His help. Yes, Lord, cum Sancto Spiritu: with and in the power of the Holy Spirit, we offer all that we are and all that we do to Jesus for the glory of God the Father.
