In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman study Ezra and Nehemiah, following Israel's return from exile as they begin the long work of rebuilding Jerusalem, the temple, and their covenant relationship with God. These chapters remind us that every story of faith includes moments of starting again, and that the Lord is always ready to welcome His people home. As the people lay the temple's foundation, face opposition, and press forward despite discouragement, they discover that rebuilding rarely happens all at once. Faith grows one step at a time through small, consistent acts of devotion, even when progress feels slow. Again and again, scripture reminds us that the good hand of God is upon His people, strengthening them as they continue the work He has called them to do. This episode also highlights the role of prophets in times of rebuilding. Through the words of Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, and Zechariah, we see that God's servants encourage, strengthen, and remind His people of who they truly are. Rather than being defined by past mistakes, the Lord invites us to accept His new decree over our lives and move forward with faith, courage, and joy. Above all, Ezra and Nehemiah testify that rebuilding is not a story of shame but of hope. The joy of the Lord becomes our strength as we remember His goodness, recognize His hand in our lives, and choose once again to walk with Him. No matter where we begin, His gracious hand is always reaching out, inviting us to build something beautiful with Him.

The Greater Glory - Haggai 2 - Cameron Stefferson

Pastor Quinn gives a sermon on Haggai 1-2 about putting God first.

In the book of Haggai, God confronts His people for allowing their own priorities to overshadow His. Sixteen years after returning from exile, the Temple still lay unfinished while the people had become consumed with building comfortable lives for themselves. Through Haggai, God calls them—and us—to "Thank carefully about our ways" and to put Him first in every area of life. Whether in our walk with Christ, our marriages, families, work, or service to His church and His mission, God deserves first place. The encouraging message of Haggai is that when we faithfully pursue God's purposes, He promises His presence, His peace, and His provision, giving us everything we need to accomplish the work He has called us to do.

What if the greatest thing God has ever done in your life has not happened yet? The people in Haggai's day were convinced the best was behind them. God told them something different. He said the glory ahead would be greater than anything they had seen before. That promise has not expired. Are you living like the best is still to come?

HAGGAI, ZECHARIAH and MALACHI It is an unfortunate misconception that because these books are called "The Minor Prophets, as their relevance to our lives is also minor." This couldn't be further from the truth! The richness of life's lessons and our prophetic hope permeate every word. Don't be tricked into missing these overwhelmingly rich studies. In the book of Haggai we see God sending the prophet Haggai to challenge the people to rebuild which led to a significant turning point in their history. Haggia's audience was the remnant. (They were not unbelievers.) They were the right people, living in the right place, wanting to do the right work, and for the right reasons. But their priorities were not right. They were caught up in their own pursuits. They were living for themselves rather than for God's glory. [Isn't that us?] Zechariah is often called the Apocalypse of the OT, it presents the Messiah as: The Branch who will remove iniquity, The Stone, His Throne, His Temple, The Coming King, The Shepherd, The Triumphal Entry, on a donkey, His Betrayal for 30 pieces of silver, His Crucifixion, and His Second Coming: looking upon me whom they pierced. It also focuses on the Day of YHWH, the return of Israel in unbelief, and their passing through the Great Tribulation; the siege of Jerusalem by the confederated Gentile powers, and their deliverance by King Messiah. Zechariah also gives us the only physical description of the Antichrist in the Scripture. [It also seems to suggest a neutron bomb in Chapter 14.] It also may hold the solution to the enigma of Mystery Babylon and its relation to literal Babylon in prophecy. Malachi means ''my messengers.'' Malachi ministered in the fifth century b.c., about 100 years after Cyrus had issued the decree in 538 b.c. which permitted Jews to return from exile to Judah. The destruction of Edom (re: Mal 1:3-5) was affected by the Nabatean Arabs who totally drove out the Edomites between 550 and 400 B.C., setting up their own Idumean state in its place.

The book of Haggai speaks to those who returned from captivity to rebuild the temple, but they stopped and went to rebuild their own houses.  They were told to put God first, tend to His house, and stop being self-serving.  This book speaks to us today as well.  God will enable us to take care of His house, and He will not abandon us if we put Him first in all things.

"What does shaking of heaven mean? v7 treasures of all nations --> Desire of all nations in other translations?" "I wonder of Jesus' ancestry through Zerubbabel since both Luke & Matthew have Zerubbabel and Shealtiel but between Zerubbabel & Jesus and Shealtiel & David they differ. I'm also trying to think if there is any passage that has gentiles as treasures or if this is an interpretation without much precedent?" "On the cross, did Jesus only bear the judgement/sin of his people or everyone (the whole world)?" "Jesus has taken the judgment that we deserve and we are saved from eternal judgement but do we experience judgement like the people did in Haggai 1? How did God keep his promises from Jeremiah 22 of not allowing Josiah's line to rule?" "How does God choose individuals to become prophets? In a modern context, how do we know if it is a true calling from God or what we internally desire?"

A People Who Listen - Haggai 1:12-15 - Cameron Stefferson

On today's episode of Back Porch Theology, Lisa and Allison dive into the final three Minor Prophets—Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi—and explore what it means to trust God in the gap between expectation and reality. Through disappointment, waiting, and redemptive discontent, we're reminded that God is still at work and His promises are still true. So please grab a cup of coffee and your Bible, and come hang out on the porch with us.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES Haggai 1:1–5 Zechariah 4:6 Zechariah 7:1–3 Zechariah 9:9 Zechariah 14:9; 20 Matthew 21:4-5 Malachi 2:17 Malachi 3:1; 7 Malachi 4:2-3

The returning exiles came home full of hope, but the reality was brutal. The land was ravaged, neighbors were hostile, and the temple project came to a complete stop for many years. The people lost heart and focused on their own houses while God’s house sat in ruins. God had to send Haggai and Zechariah to convince the […]

Book of the Twelve: Haggai Mikey Smith Haggai - Sermon by Mikey Smith

When we prioritize the things of God, we can experience the blessings that come with obedience.

When God's people stopped rebuilding the temple, God spoke through the prophets Haggai and Zechariah to expose the real issue: misplaced priorities. In this message from Ezra 5 and Haggai 1, we'll discover that everyone is building something, but only a life centered on God's Kingdom leads to lasting purpose, satisfaction, and joy. Allow yourself to be challenged to put Christ first, trust His provision, and experience the greatest promise of all, His presence.

God has a message for enduring obedience from his people.

Title: What It Really Means to Wait on the LordSpeaker: Pastor Jeremy ArcherDate: 12th April 2026Location: Bristol, UK Summary:Waiting on the Lord is not standing still. It is standing firm. That distinction sits at the heart of this episode, which takes one of the most quoted verses in scripture and roots it back in the ground it came from. Isaiah 40:31 is familiar to most people who have spent time in the Bible. But familiarity can strip a verse of its weight. The people who first heard those words were Jewish exiles in Babylon, thirty-five years into what would become a seventy-year captivity. They had lost their king, their temple, their language, their culture, and their homeland. They were exhausted, displaced, and mocked. When Isaiah wrote that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength, he was not writing an inspirational caption. He was writing to people in the middle of a crisis with no visible end. The Hebrew word translated "wait" in this passage is qava, and it carries none of the passivity the English word suggests. The picture behind it is a rope pulled taut in a tug of war, an archer drawing a bowstring, a runner braced on starting blocks. The episode also looks at how Jesus opened his public ministry in Luke 4 by reading from Isaiah, applying the same captivity scriptures to a new generation living under Roman rule. That connection shows how these words keep speaking across centuries to people in remarkably similar circumstances. Key Points: Reading scripture without knowing its context risks turning the Bible into a collection of slogans or proof texts The Hebrew word qava, translated "wait" in Isaiah 40:31, means active, tensed readiness, not passive inactivity Isaiah 40 was written to Jewish exiles thirty-five years into a seventy-year Babylonian captivity, a people stripped of everything familiar That exile forced Jewish people to develop a portable, personal faith, one no longer grounded in the temple but carried individually Jesus opened his public ministry by reading from Isaiah 61 to Jews under Roman rule, showing how captivity scriptures keep speaking to new generations in similar circumstances Waiting on the Lord means standing firm under pressure and serving faithfully while trusting God to complete what he has already started Reference Scriptures: Isaiah 40:27-31 Psalm 130:5 Isaiah 61:1-3 Luke 4:14-20 Haggai 2 Ezra 3 Micah 6:8 Habakkuk 3:17-18 Matthew 23:37 Hebrews 10:10 Listen to the entire Podcast Revival library by visiting https://podcastrevival.com The Revival Fellowship is a Bible-directed, Spirit-filled Church and we welcome visitors to our meetings at any of our locations worldwide.

In a culture that often measures success by achievement, status, or financial security, God reminds us that the most important thing a father can build is a strong spiritual foundation for his family.In this Father's Day message from Matthew 7:24–27 and Zechariah 4:8–10, Pastor Corey teaches that healthy homes are not built on temporary priorities but on the unchanging truth of God's Word. Using Jesus' illustration of the wise and foolish builders, he explains that every family will face storms, challenges, and difficulties, but the foundation beneath the home determines whether it stands firm or collapses.Drawing from the rebuilding of the temple under Zerubbabel, Pastor Corey encourages fathers not to underestimate the power of daily faithfulness. While the work of leading a family can often feel slow, repetitive, and unnoticed, God uses small acts of obedience to build something lasting and significant over time.Through this encouraging and practical sermon, Pastor Corey shares:• Why every family is built on a foundation—whether intentional or not• The difference between building on God's truth and building on temporary priorities• Why storms reveal the strength of a family's foundation• How financial success, achievements, and personal happiness make poor foundations• The importance of loving God first before leading your family well• Practical ways parents can pass their faith to the next generation• Lessons from Zerubbabel and the rebuilding of God's house• Why fathers should never despise "the day of small things"• How daily acts of faithfulness create lasting spiritual impact• The importance of perseverance, consistency, and obedience in parenting• Why great homes are built one brick at a time• How a strong foundation in Christ enables families to withstand life's stormsFeaturing insights from Matthew, Deuteronomy, Ezra, Haggai, Zechariah, and the teachings of Jesus, Pastor Corey challenges fathers and families to build their homes on the only foundation that will last. Discover how God uses ordinary moments, daily obedience, and steadfast faith to create strong families that can stand firm through every season of life.

In this message brother Kevin looks at the prophetic insights from Zechariah and Haggai and what keeps the lights of the church burning.

In Consider Your Ways: The Temple God Wants to Build, Chris Pollard brings a timely word from Haggai 1 that calls the church to wake up, examine our ways, and return to what matters most. The hour is late. This is not the time for comfort, compromise, distraction, deception, or delay. God is calling His people to build again, not just outwardly, but inwardly. He is looking for a living temple where His Spirit can dwell, take pleasure, and be glorified. Haggai 1 confronts the people of God with a sobering question: while our own lives are being carefully maintained, has the house of the Lord been neglected? Today, that question reaches beyond buildings and into the heart of every believer. Is my life a temple where God is pleased to dwell? Is my obedience delayed? Has my focus drifted? Have I allowed the patterns of this world to shape my mind more than the truth of God's Word? God is not merely looking for performance, platforms, or external appearance. He is building people. He is calling His church to come out of spiritual apathy and become fully surrendered, Spirit-led, and renewed in truth. The enemy's pattern is clear: culture influences, the mind becomes conformed, the heart begins to drift, and obedience gets delayed. But the kingdom pattern is stronger: truth enters in, the mind is renewed, the Spirit leads, and the life is transformed. This is a call to stop postponing obedience. It is a call to come out of comfort and compromise, reject passivity and spiritual drift, and consider your ways before the Lord. God is building something in His people, and now is the time to respond. While listening, allow the Holy Spirit to awaken fresh surrender, renewed obedience, and a deeper commitment to become the temple God is pleased to dwell in.
