Podcasts about Haggai

Have you ever stopped long enough to ask yourself the question, “How did I end up here?” You've most likely arrived at your current destination due to a combination of circumstances, consequences, and decisions. Whether you're happy with where you are or searching for more in life, God has always had incredible plans & purpose for His people.  Join us in the book of Haggai as we discover some keys to fulfilling God's plans for our lives. 

God Should Always Be First Haggai 1:5-6 5Now this is what the Lord Almighty says: “Give careful thought to your ways. 6You have planted much, but harvested little. You eat, but never have enough. You drink, but never have your fill. You put on clothes, but are not warm. You earn wages, only to put them in a purse with holes in it.”

Are You Taking Care Of God's Temple? Haggai 1:3-4 3Then the word of the Lord came through the prophet Haggai: 4“Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses, while this house remains a ruin?”

Were the authors of the Bible just writing firsthand accounts of events that actually happened? That's a pretty tough case to make. As a matter of fact, we have very good reason to believe that many of the stories of the bible have shared roots with many other stories/myths of ancient southwest Asia and northern Africa. This week, we'll look at many of those stories, and discuss their parallels and origins from around the region. We'll discuss what evidence scholars use to come to these conclusions, and have some fun trying to figure out who came up with what first. Then in our second segment, we'll look at Haggai. It's a book of only two chapters, and those chapters frankly don't seem like much on first blush. Is there more to Haggai than meets the eye? ---- For early access to an ad-free version of every episode of Data Over Dogma, exclusive content, and the opportunity to support our work, please consider becoming a monthly patron at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/DataOverDogma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠      Follow us on the various social media places: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/DataOverDogmaPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.twitter.com/data_over_dogma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Have you ordered Dan McClellan's hit book ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Bible Says So⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ yet???

After many years of only having a dormant foundation for the temple of the Lord, Haggai the prophet is sent to God's people. The Lord calls His people to account for having given full attention to their own houses while the Lord's temple lay desolate. Though the people sought to accumulate earthly success, the hand of God had been working against them. When their spirit was stirred up, they once again showed reverence for the Lord and began work on His house above their own. Many people today are unsatisfied as they are working on the wrong house. There is no other eternal foundation other than Jesus Christ. The quality of what is built on this foundation will one day be revealed.

Ezra 5 | God as the Center | Dean Miller | June 15, 2025 This week, we read in Ezra 5 how the prophets Haggai and Zechariah restarted and finished the Temple building project after it had been abandoned for many years. Dean talks about how the Temple, as well as it’s restoration, was meant […]

Pastor JD explains how God, speaking through the prophet Haggai about how comparing their temple to Solomon's first temple then, has profound personal application to us now.

This week we take a look at Zerubbabel and how God sent a word to encourage him through the prophet Zechariah.  Like Israel and Zerubbabel we often times face enemy opposition which can cause discouragement or we can become indifferent to the assignment God is calling us to do, but we must understand it is not by might nor by power, but by the Lord's Spirit that we will do what He is calling us to do.  No matter how many natural resources or people we have none of it matters if it is not driven by the Holy Spirit.  Unless the Lord builds the house then it is done in vain. 

Where we invest our precious resources is a reflection of what really matters in our lives.

By Brian Shaw - Drawing from the commissions given to Zerubbabel and Joshua in Haggai 2:1-9 and Zechariah 3:7, this message explores the rebuilding of the temple in 538 BC and its prophetic significance for God's spiritual temple today. Zerubbabel faced discouragement in constructing the physical temple, while

Pastor JD talks about how God through the Prophet Haggai, warns the leaders and people of Judah to “consider their ways” concerning their prioritizing the building of their own houses while the Temple lay in ruins some 16-years after they returned from Babylon, and how this personally applies to us today, then concludes with Communion.

President Donald Trump is hosting German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the White House on Thursday to discuss a wide range of pressing issues, with the Ukraine war, defense spending, and transatlantic trade tensions topping the list. The meeting marks the chancellor's first visit to Washington since his election victory in May. Merz, the leader of Germany's center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), has established a personal rapport with Trump, according to German media. The meeting comes just 10 days ahead of the G7 summit in Alberta, Canada, where both leaders are scheduled to attend.Trump and Chinese communist party leader Xi Jinping agree to send delegations for a meeting on trade. The two spoke by phone Thursday as tensions remain high over the ongoing US-China trade dispute.Israel has recovered the bodies of two Israeli American hostages taken in the Hamas terrorist organization's attack on Oct. 7, 2023. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the remains of elderly married couple Judith Weinstein and Gad Haggai were recovered and returned to Israel in a special operation by the Israel Defense Forces and the Shin Bet internal security agency. Kibbutz Nir Oz in southern Israel announced the deaths of Weinstein, 70, and Haggai, 72, both of whom had Israeli and U.S. citizenship, in December 2023. Weinstein was also a Canadian citizen.

This week, Jesus Culture Sacramento and Jesus Culture San Diego joined together for a joint service. Pastors Becky Johnson and Zack Curry both brought powerful messages. Pastor Becky shares how God is calling us to let go of false comforts and prepare for a greater glory. Drawing from Haggai 2 and 2 Kings 4, she reminds us that how we prepare matters. Pastor Zack encourages us to press in, seek the Lord, and respond to His invitation with faith and hunger. God is moving—let's be ready to receive.

The 12th chapter of Hebrews is about patience in hope. The first two verses in some ways belong to the previous chapter. The “cloud” of witnesses refers to the faithful mentioned in chapter 11, plus us (hopefully – 11:39-40). A cloud is formed by the action of the sun, which draws vapour from the masses of water in the sea and other places. Twice in v1 of chapter 12 do we hear those watchwords of resolution – “Let us …”. We commence the race for eternal life when we are baptised into our Lord Jesus Christ. In this race we follow our Lord who is our “archegos” ie the author, or founder of faith. Jesus has run the course and has entered into eternal life. Having finished the course he is running towards us and bringing the finishing tape with him. None of us will attain to life through our efforts. The writer of Hebrews speaks of the “sin that so easily besets” – the Greek expression is talking of “the sin that sits comfortably” with us ie the sin that we do not want to give up because we see it as not being of great importance. Yet the writer says that sin is impeding our path to the kingdom. But God has done in His Son what we cannot complete. What the Father asks of His children is that they believe, and follow and run with patience and endurance this race. Verses 3-17 is a lesson to be understood by all of the Father's children ie to patiently endure. If ever any of us should feel that the struggling against sin is too difficult – then think again. Consider the Lord's endurance cost him his life and even though he benefits from his sacrifice Jesus died to take away our sins. Then take heart and lift up the hanging hands and the feeble knees and press on. The Proverbs addresses these issue and through His Word the Father makes His appeal to each of us. The writer says that the fact we are suffering is proof that our Father is developing character in His children. The Father's aim is to have us live as His children ie in holiness that He might live with us perpetually in His kingdom. Present suffering is unpleasant, but we need to be longsighted and realise the eventual benefit of present trials. The writer says that the faithful are not like Esau who only lived in and for the present. Verses 18-29 reminds us that whatever can be shaken is temporary and transient. By contrast the kingdom prepared by the Father for His family is future. It is the centre of our hope. It is not momentary it is eternal. Verses 18-24 contrasts the terror experienced by Israel at Sinai with the uplifting sevenfold blessings that belong to Zion's children, freeborn of Jerusalem in Christ Jesus our Lord (see Galatians 4:21-31). I encourage each of you to explore those blessings in verses 22-24. The writer appeals to the listeners to heed the heavenly voice so as not to perish as those who are enslaved by Law and legalism. Verses 26-29 describe the benefits of the faithful, those enduring in hope, in receiving an unshakable, immovable and eternal kingdom. And so the writer directs our minds to the words of Haggai 2:6-9.

This week, we took a break from Haggai and our Whole Heart series to hear a message on prayer from our Student Pastor, Ryan Oakes. Drawing from Philippians 4, Ryan reminded us that prayer is not about getting everything we ask for, but about being with God in every moment and bringing our honest selves before Him. He challenged us to let go of our desire for control and trust that, while God may not always change our circumstances, He promises a peace that guards our hearts.

Preacher: Aaron MenikoffTitle: When Disappointment LingersSeries: The Return of Glory: Three Words from HaggaiPassage: Haggai 2:1–9

(Haggai 1:1-15a) Into a context of bewilderment, discouragement and spiritual lethargy that the word of the Lord bursts onto the scene with its transforming and life-giving power. Through his prophet Haggai, God declares a word of both judgment and mercy with the result that God's people are transformed and God's city is transformed. God's word is effective, accomplishing the purpose for which he sends it forth (Isa 55:11). Through his word that God reorients his disoriented people, reminding them of who he is as their covenant Lord, and who they are as his covenant people, and what they're called to as pilgrims in this life. Thus, in the midst of their despair Israel is given a reason to trust, and to hope, and to work to the glory of their covenant Lord.

In this week's message, Pastor John Durham continues our Whole Heart series, teaching from Haggai 2:10–19. He emphasizes that righteousness doesn't come through proximity to holy things but through an internal transformation by God's grace. This grace is powerful, rooted in His character, and can not be earned by our own merit.
