Podcasts about Haggai

In 1 John 5verses1-5 we are told the source of overcoming the world - by the faith of the son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. And by that faith I live. An early Christadelphian writer, John Thomas said, that this was by a faith, which works by love and purifiers the soul (life). John Thomas was alluding to the early verses of Galatians 5. The Apostle John tells us that such a belief is evidence of our divine begetting. And, for us, it is the assurance ("by this we know") that God is with us. We can be more than conquerors through Him who loves us (Romans 8). The work, spoken of in chapter 2, is not about our love, but we do love the Father with all of our heart. And this love of the Father which impels us was the motive force of the life of the Son of God. Read Romans 8verses31-39 slowly and pause and ponder. Verses 6-12 provide testimony concerning the Son of God. Our Lord Jesus who came by water and blood - the water in which he was immersed at his baptism and the water of the Word of God with which his mind was saturated; and the blood of his sacrificial offering of himself. This offering was sanctified by the Word of God and prayer and pleased his Father. John is alluding to his witnessing of the crucifixion (John 19verses34-37). Verse 7 from the ESV reads, and I quote in full, "For there are three that testifyverses". Most of the better translations recognise the insertion into the text of additional words which aren't found in most of the older manuscripts. The additional words used in the KJV (and some other versions are admitted by most modern translations to be spurious and added by a Jesuit monk, Immanuel Tapsensis). Verse 8 identifies the three witnesses to our Lord's divine Sonship as - the Spirit, the water and the blood. Under the law at least two corroborating witnesses were needed to determine truth. John affirms total agreement among these witnesses. Additionally, God bore testimony, Matthew 3verses15-17, to His Son. And only in His Son, and through His Son's work, we have life. From verses 13-21 the beloved disciple John has written these things for our assurance ("that we may know"). We have known and believed upon the name above every name (Philippians 2verses9-11), and the only name in which there is salvation (Acts 4verses12). And through continuance in this Name salvation is assured. John repeats that the Father's ear is ever open to His children's pleas. Verses 16-17 reiterates that when we love the brethren we will help them (as they will likewise help us) when we stumble (Galatians 6verses1-5). Such advice and correction will prevent rejection at the coming judgment of our Lord Jesus Christ. But, for the habitual and lawless sinner, who has abandoned any attempt to continue walking in the light there remains "no offering for sin" (Hebrews 10verses26-39). Being begotten by God, through His Word (1 Peter 1verses22-25), we overcome in faith and walk in the way of His commandments. The world and its ways allure, but cannot conquer us. Finally, says John, "Keep yourself from idols" - a specific allusion to the Ten Commandments (especially numbers 1 and 10 which bookend all the others). Keeping ourselves from idols is about the tendency within our human nature to always look after ourselves before applying ourselves to living according to the ways of our Almighty Father.Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

He was born in Babylon, of the priestly tribe of Levi, during the captivity of the Jews. After their return to Jerusalem, the Jews began to rebuild the Temple and to worship there according to the Law, but were discouraged by opposition from the local population (many of them Jews who had not gone into captivity). So God raised up the holy Prophets Haggai and Zechariah (February 8) to stir the people to complete their sacred work. Haggai's prophecies reveal that the drought that the Hebrews were suffering was brought about by their failure to complete the rebuilding of Jerusalem, and would only end when they rededicated themselves to their work. He is ranked tenth among the minor Prophets.

Haggai 2, John 2 // Justin White

20 Proverbs 27-28; 35 Habakkuk 1-3; 36 Zephaniah 1-3; 37 Haggai 1-2; 38 Zechariah 1; 19 Psalms 135-139; 45 Romans 12-16; 1 Corinthians 1

Haggai - The builders encouraged. Zechariah - A call to repentance. Patrol of the earth. God's favor to Zion. Joshua, the high priest. The branch. Revelation - An interlude. The 144,000. A multitude from the tribulation.

This is the prophetic challenge, God is saying to us in Haggai 2.3: ‘Who is left among you that saw this House in its first glory – and how do you see it now?!!' This is the challenge to the Church and to our nations: something HAS to happen to dramatically CHANGE us. There have been times in my own life when I have had to experience this dramatic change and transformation. It was never a change of direction. My staff will tell you that what I wrote when I was fifteen in my magazine ‘The Evangelist', is EXACTLY what I say now. What God put in my heart then, is EXACTLY what God is fulfilling in my life now. So the direction has never changed – but I have had to have the renewing. Without those times when God has stopped me, put me in a prison, laid me aside, cancer, or any other thing – there has had to be that dramatic realisation in my life of the need of change. God is today saying to the Church EXACTLY what He was saying here to Israel through the prophet Haggai! I want to challenge you, every one of you – who is there still here in Britain (or wherever you are) who saw the Glory of God in this land, who saw the Power of God in the churches, who saw the repentance, who saw the demonstration of the Holy Spirit? I would say to you, what do you see now? Desolation. You don't hear a call to repentance, you don't see the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. I would say to you – the Glory has gone. And God is saying in this Scripture in Haggai, the Glory has departed from the House of God! WE are the House of God. And the Glory has gone! We have got to bring back the Glory and the Power into the House of God!

Today in History: Haggai the Prophet received a prophecy to encourage the people and Zerubbabel the Governor to rebuild the Holy Temple (see Haggai 2:10–18). ”Do consider from this day onward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month; from the day when the Temple of the LORD was founded, consider...”This week's portion is called Miketz (At the end) TORAH PORTION: Genesis 41:1–14GOSPEL PORTION: Matthew 21:33–46What verse spoke to you most today and why?Did you learn something about God?Daily Bread for Kids is a daily Bible reading podcast where we read through the Torah and the Gospels in one year!

An ancient hymn looks forward to Christ's return, asking the "Desire of Nations" to come. Who, or What, is the Desire of Nations, and what does its coming mean for us? Pastor Luke looks at Haggai 2:1-7 in "Treasure of the Nations," part 3 of his 4-part series, "Emmanuel."

Longing for the Light, Week 4: HaggaiPs Matt preaches from Haggai, where God calls His people to re-center their lives, re-align their priorities, and rediscover what truly matters. In a season of waiting, rebuilding, and hoping, His glory meets them right where they are.

This week we consider the annunciation of Jesus in Luke 1:26-38, noticing its parallels and contrasts with the announcement of John the Baptist's coming, and understanding it through reference to some church Fathers, Gen 18, Ezekiel 8, Haggai 1, 2 Sam 7, and Isaiah 29:22. Luke uses his artistry and deep understanding of the Old Testament to show the link between the God-Man and his cousin John, and to put Jesus luminously in the spotlight.

In Matthew 25:40 we read, “And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” Join us in this broadcast of Woman at the Well Ministries as Kim walks us through the scriptures showing us how we should treat others.

In this practical lesson on gratitude and posture, Rev. Roland Anang uncovers one of the most overlooked principles in the kingdom of God: your ability to receive determines your ability to partake of God's blessings. God uses men to execute His agenda on earth, and how you receive the vessel He sends directly impacts the miracles, counsel, and transformation you experience. Drawing from scriptures across Psalms, the Gospels, Acts, Haggai, Samuel, and more, this message exposes how dishonor, offense, and familiarity can limit God's move in your life — and how humility, honor, and openness unlock prophetic grace and divine intervention. Memorable Takeaways “Honor without obedience is not honor.” “If you reject your Moses because he stammers, you reject your deliverance.” “Every man of God carries the voice of God — not only prophets.” “Amen is not a greeting; it is an act of receiving.” “Your miracle is often one posture away.” “Familiarity blinds you to grace.”

In this powerful continuation of our Sacred Architecture series, we move from rebuilding the temple (Part 1) into examining the results of a neglected temple (Part 2). Drawing from Haggai 1:6, this episode uncovers why so many believers are planting much yet harvesting little — working hard but seeing limited spiritual, emotional, or even financial fruit. God reveals a painful but freeing truth: A damaged temple cannot hold what God gives. A leaking vessel cannot sustain a harvest. This episode breaks down the five spiritual symptoms found in Haggai 1:6: • sowing without reaping • eating without satisfaction • drinking without fullness • clothing without warmth • earning without increase These are not agricultural struggles — they are spiritual diagnostics. When the inner temple is cracked, unfortified, or misaligned, the blessings, insights, and breakthroughs God releases leak out before they can produce fruit. We explore: ✔ Why many believers feel spiritually hungry even after receiving the Word ✔ Why joy, peace, and strength often fade quickly after church ✔ Why increase seems to slip through the fingers ✔ Why some people feel spiritually “stuck,” despite trying harder ✔ How Babylon shaped the identity of the returning remnant ✔ Why God commands again, “Consider your ways.” (Haggai 1:5, 7) This episode also examines the three spiritual groups present then — and now: The faithful remnant The compromised The lukewarm multitudes Most believers today fall into the third group: spiritually sleepy, functional but fruitless, free but unfocused. Yet God's call through Haggai is a compassionate but direct divine reset. We end this episode with a prophetic pause: Can God trust your temple with a harvest? Are you rebuilt enough to sustain the blessing you prayed for? Is your inner architecture strong enough to hold increase? Can your walls protect your vineyard? In Part 3, we move from Planting → Harvest → Alignment → Obedience → Stirring of the Spirit, culminating in God's powerful declaration: “I am with you.” (Haggai 1:13) This is Sacred Architecture. This is the rebuilding of the interior life. This is preparation for Jubilee.

The prophet Zechariah was a contemporary of the prophet Haggai; both prophesy to those exiles returning to Jerusalem, but while Haggai focuses mainly on rebuilding the temple, Zechariah sees visions of a future king. As such is the case, the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John incorporate more passages from Zechariah than from any other prophet. In today's reading, Zechariah prophesies through night visions; we'll cover 5 out of 8 of them in this episode. One is of horsemen who patrol the world, another of horns and craftsmen, another of a man who surveys and measures Jerusalem, a fourth of the high priest Joshua and a servant called the Branch, and a fifth of a gold lampstand.Zechariah 1 - 1:13 . Zechariah 2 - 5:39 . Zechariah 3 - 8:53 . Zechariah 4 - 11:12 . Isaiah 54 - 13:58 . Isaiah 55 - 18:04 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Within the historical account written down in the book of Ezra, we learn of a prophet named Haggai who turned the hearts of the people toward the Lord. We'll begin this episode by reading from the book of Haggai wherein the prophet addresses the people of Judah. Having just returned from exile they had prioritized making their homes comfortable while neglecting to rebuild the Lord's temple. This leads us back into Ezra, where the people prioritize building the temple. The rulers that oversee the region west of the Euphrates alert King Darius that the Jews are rebuilding the temple. The king's reply? Leave them alone! If anyone tries to stop them, they will be impaled on a beam from their own house!Haggai 1 - 1:06 . Haggai 2 – 4:09 .Ezra 5 - 9:16 . Ezra 6 - 13:12 . Proverbs 28:15-28 - 18:33 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

He was a Galilean of the tribe of Simeon. The Old Testament book that bears his name foretells the destruction of Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, by the Medes, and the restoration of the Kingdom of Judah; all of this came to pass. Nahum is counted as the seventh of the Minor Prophets. He reposed in peace. His name means 'consolation' or 'repose.'   Five of the Prophets (Nahum, Habbakuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, and Daniel) are commemorated in December. At one time a Feast of the Twelve Prophets was celebrated on December 4 at the Church of the Resurrection, but this feast is no longer on the calendar. The days leading up to Christ's Nativity contain many commemorations of the faithful remnant of Israel, all of whose hopes were fulfilled in the birth of the Messiah.
