(Haggai 1:8) Don't miss the present while you are lamenting your past. God has a work He wants you to do today and something He desires to do in the days ahead! Obey God and begin right where you are. (10049260226) The episode walks through Haggai's four dated sermons delivered over four months and highlights the main themes: the danger of waiting when God calls us to work; the trap of lamenting the past and missing present opportunity; the mistake of focusing only on the material and ignoring God's supernatural provision; and the error of magnifying opposition while forgetting God's presence and power.  Listen to Scott Pauley's verse-by-verse study of Haggai HERE.  Join our study through Scripture this year.

What if one of the biggest shifts you could make in your financial life starts with a simple biblical truth: It's not your money — it's God's. In this episode, we explore three foundational ways Scripture calls believers to think about finances: recognizing God as the true owner of everything, living as faithful stewards of what we've been entrusted with, and pursuing wisdom that only comes from the Lord. Throughout the Bible, we see a consistent message — everything we have ultimately belongs to God, and we are called to manage His resources with faithfulness, humility, and purpose. But what does that actually look like in daily financial decisions, investing, planning for your family, and building long-term legacy? Together, we walk through key passages including Psalm 24, Haggai 2, the Parable of the Talents, James 1, and Proverbs, to unpack how biblical ownership, stewardship, and wisdom work together to form a God-honoring financial mindset. This episode is for anyone who wants to move beyond simply pursuing wealth and instead pursue faithfulness, peace, and purpose in how they handle money.     In This Episode, You'll Learn: • Why Scripture teaches that everything we have belongs to God • The difference between ownership and stewardship • What it means to be a "good and faithful servant" with financial resources • How prayer and godly counsel shape financial wisdom • Why the Bible says wisdom is more valuable than gold     At TRADEway, we believe financial education should be grounded in biblical stewardship, wise decision-making, and serving others well — not quick wins or emotional trading decisions.     If this episode encouraged you, be sure to follow the podcast and share it with someone who wants to grow in both their faith and their financial wisdom.     Learn more about TRADEway at tradeway.com Check out our upcoming events at tradeway.com/events

God has not run out of mercy — not for you, not today.Monday, Feb 23, 2026 — Haggai 1 (final time here). This chapter doesn't just rebuke misplaced priorities… it shows you what revival looks like in real time.Today we land on the turning point: Haggai 1:12–14. When God confronts the drift, the people don't argue. They don't blame. They don't delay.The leaders respond (Zerubbabel + Joshua).The remnant responds (everyday people).They obey the Word and fear the Lord.And then God speaks the sentence we all need when obedience feels costly:“I am with you, declares the LORD.”Here's the pattern: Conviction → Agreement → Obedience → Presence → Work → Revival. Not hype. Not emotion. A people who see what God is doing, join Him, and start building again.If you've felt the drought, the frustration, the “nothing is satisfying” cycle—this is your moment: stop responding to your plans… and start responding to God's actions. When you step onto His side, He doesn't leave you alone in the fight.He's with you. Now build.

Join us to learn how the lessons in Haggai still apply to our lives today.

In this segment, Pastor Marco introduces a study of Haggai by arguing that Christians need to “bathe” in God's Word by learning Scripture in its full-book context rather than relying on isolated verses, because God gave the Bible as books with coherent themes and purpose. He contrasts human wisdom (like Confucius, who mixed insight with historical errors) with Haggai's brief but fully reliable prophetic message, then frames Haggai's core call as “first things first”: God's work must take priority, and God's people must pursue purity so their needs are met and their anxiety is replaced by trust. Using the temple storyline (tabernacle → temple → Christ → believers as God's temple), he applies Haggai's rebuke to the New Testament church: neglecting God's work—building up believers through discipleship, evangelism, and mutual care—leads to spiritual and even practical dissatisfaction, while returning to God's priorities brings renewed obedience, reverent fear, and the assurance of God's presence: “I am with you.”

Consider This. Haggai 1:3-9. Sunday 22nd February 2026 AM. Bro Alistair Musgrove

God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today.On Friday, February 20, we're back in Haggai 1, but today the spotlight is on one verse that will either wake you up or expose you:“Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house… that I may take pleasure in it and that I may be glorified.” (Hag. 1:8)This is the correction we don't want—but desperately need: God doesn't always send a miracle first. Sometimes He hands you a shovel, points at the mountain, and says, “Start.”We keep waiting on the big breakthrough… while God is waiting on our obedience. We keep praying for provision… while God is calling for participation.Here's the principle: Do what you can, so God can do what you can't. You can't change a heart. You can't save anyone. But you can take the hike, bring the wood, and build what honors Him.Today's challenge is simple and practical: bring somebody with you. Invite them to worship. Invite them into the Word. Put in the work—so God gets the glory.

God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today.On Thursday, February 19, we're in Luke 12, and Jesus drops a warning that hits like a gavel: your life does not consist in the abundance of your possessions.This episode sits in the progression we've been walking all week:Haggai 1: misplaced prioritiesDeuteronomy 8: prosperity that makes you forget GodLuke 12: the moment comfort turns into covetousnessJesus tells the parable of the rich fool—a man with overflowing harvests who solves abundance with bigger barns… but never once talks to God, never once thanks God, never once thinks about stewardship—only storage. And God's verdict is terrifyingly simple: “Fool… this night your soul is required of you.”Here's the line you need today: Jesus refuses to referee greed. He exposes it. He warns against it. And He calls us out of hoarding into stewarding—because eternity doesn't consult your retirement plan.So pray one honest prayer today: “Lord, what do You want me to do with what You've given me?” Not someday. Not after “enough.” Today.

God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today.On Wednesday, February 18, we're in Deuteronomy 8—and it pairs perfectly with yesterday's warning in Haggai 1. Haggai confronts misplaced priorities. Deuteronomy 8 confronts what often creates them: prosperity.Moses is looking Israel in the eyes and saying, “You're about to walk into a good land—streams, harvest, abundance, stability… so don't forget the Lord.” Because the wilderness can break you, but comfort can erase you.And here's the detail that will mess with you: “Your clothing did not wear out… and your foot did not swell these forty years.” Forty years of walking—and God held their bodies together, their clothes together, their daily bread together. That's not a one-time miracle. That's daily mercy.This episode is a call to recognize what we tend to overlook: the miracles that feel “normal” because they're constant. Breath in your lungs. Strength to work. A mind that can think. A Savior who intercedes. The Spirit who dwells. Grace that keeps showing up.Deuteronomy 8 is God saying: I took care of you when you had nothing. Don't get comfortable and start acting like you did it when you have everything. Prosperity is a test—because it tempts you to trust the gift and forget the Giver.So here's today's challenge: write down the mercies you're in danger of forgetting. Name them. Remember them. Let memory turn into worship—before comfort turns into drifting.

God has not run out of mercy—not for you, not today.On Tuesday, February 17, our reading takes us to Haggai 1—a short chapter with a long shadow. The people are back from exile, free to rebuild… and they start with their own houses while God's house sits in ruins. And the issue isn't money. It's priority.Haggai exposes a deadly phrase we still use today: “Not yet.” “We'll obey later.” “We'll rebuild later.” “We'll get serious later.” But spiritual procrastination is never neutral—delayed obedience is disobedience.God's question is sharp: Is it time for you to live in paneled houses while My house lies in ruins? In other words: How did your comfort get finished first and My glory get pushed to the bottom of the list? Because what you prioritize is what you worship.Then comes the refrain that won't let you off the hook: “Consider your ways.” Look at your life. Look at your calendar. Look at your bank account. Look at what gets your first, your best, your energy, your attention.Haggai names the fruit of misaligned priorities: busy but barren. Eating but not satisfied. Drinking but still empty. Working hard, but it's like putting wages into a bag with holes—always leaking, always stressed, always chasing.This episode is a wake-up call: full schedules, empty souls. God doesn't want your leftovers—He wants your first love.So today's challenge is simple and ruthless: consider your ways. What does your life say you worship? And what needs to move back to the top—today, not later.

The boys are back. And by boys we mean the Israelites. The people have returned to their land and after rebuilding their homes and the city walls, God pushed them to finally rebuild His temple. While probably not the most read book in the Bible, Haggai still contains great nuggets of wisdom and knowledge from God.

Sermon Title: What's in the First Position? Sermon Series: Seek First Passage: Haggai 1 Speaker: Sam Cassese Date: February 15, 2026 Some decisions seem small at first—until you realize what they reveal about your heart. What sits at the center of your attention, your affection, your ambition? As we begin our study in Haggai, God confronts a people who rebuilt their lives but forgot to rebuild what mattered most. The Spirit is still asking the same question: What's in the First Position? Join us as we open Haggai together and let the Lord search our hearts—because what holds first position shapes everything else.

Haggai 2:15-19 From the sermon series: Return to Me (Remembering the Goodness of God's Ways, in the book of Haggai)

Ryan Mayo Ezra/Nehemiah Series  

Week 1 of our Build series is a wake-up call from the prophet Haggai: “The time has not come… the LORD's house should be built.” And God's response is blunt—“Consider your ways.” Because when we keep postponing God to build our own comforts, we discover that more money, more stuff, and more success still can't satisfy the hunger underneath it all.This message confronts procrastination and misplaced priorities—and then casts a clear Vision Sunday picture of what we're building at Freedom Church DC: not property for property's sake, but a house with purpose—a place where heaven meets earth and people encounter God. From Jacob's “house of God” moment, to the tabernacle, to Solomon's temple, to Jesus cleansing the temple, we're reminded: the house isn't defined by construction—it's defined by purpose.And the vision is simple and strong: the church doesn't have a mission; the mission has a church. We are here to seek and save the lost, make disciples, and multiply gospel presence across the DC metro—through small groups, preaching points, and church-planting momentum. This is a call to stop living for “my house” alone and to put on a hard hat with God's people: it's time to build God's house.Scriptures referenced (as used in the sermon)Haggai 1:1–9 Romans 13:11Matthew 19:21 Exodus 25:8 Habakkuk 2:22 Chronicles 6 Psalm 127 (“unless the LORD builds…”) Key takeaways:Time moves—so what are we building with it? Self-first living always comes up empty. God's house is about purpose, not property. We're building people—and God builds His church.

A brief overview of the section of Habakkuk that will be discussed during the zoom bible study session happening on Tuesday nights. 

The world is shaking. The church is shaking. But God is not. In this tag-team message, Tim and Debbie name the tremors rocking the body of Christ and the broader world — from public moral failures in high-profile ministries to the collapsing foundations of celebrity church culture. Against that backdrop, Haggai 2 becomes a prophetic lens: though the former glory may feel like a distant memory, God promises, “I will fill this house with glory.” Tim opens with a call to reckon with what we've anchored our faith to. In “consumer Church”, we are anchored to the “superstar Christians”, and when they fall we are shaken to the core. When we are anchored the the Rock - Jesus - we will not be shaken. Then Debbie brings a timely word from the Father's heart: stillness. Not passive denial, but the kind of stillness that positions us to remember His promises, hear His voice, and let Him be our Defender. Whether you're facing external battle, internal storm, or trauma response, the invitation is the same: be still and know. This message is a calibration moment for 2026 — and a prophetic alignment for those who feel the shaking and are asking, “What now?” “Do not be afraid or discouraged… Take up your positions. Stand firm and see the deliverance of the Lord.” (2 Chron. 20:17)

Drawing from Haggai 1:8 and Psalm 92:13, Pastor Elena explains that when we prioritize God's house, He takes care of ours. This message provides practical steps on how to move from being a spectator to a "living stone" that is planted, flourishing, and committed to the local church.

What kingdom are you building? In this powerful and challenging message, Seby invites us into life and ministry in West Africa, where farming, faith, and the gospel are deeply intertwined. Through stories of walking alongside the poor, sharing Christ in villages, and seeing lives transformed, we're confronted with a hard but hopeful question: are we building our own kingdoms—or God's? Drawing from Haggai and real-life testimony, this message calls us to stewardship, mission, and obedience, asking each of us to consider what God has placed in our hands and who He is calling us to reach.

Haggai 2:10-14 From the sermon series: Return to Me (Remembering the Goodness of God's Ways, in the book of Haggai)

What do we do when reality doesn't meet our expectations? How does God help us when we need a reality check?

2/8/2026 - Haggai 1:1-15 - Is It a Time for You Yourselves to Dwell in Your Paneled Houses? by Richard Schwartz

Ever wonder what holiness really means? It's not just a churchy word, it's God's call to be set apart, to pursue Him with everything we have. This week we wrapped up our series in Haggai with a powerful reminder: holiness isn't caught by just showing up. It must be pursued. The Israelites learned that building God's temple didn't automatically make them holy, God's grace did. And here's the beautiful truth: through Jesus Christ, God offers us His holiness. We don't earn it; we receive it. God told Zerubbabel he'd be like a "signet ring" — a seal of authenticity. And guess what? Zerubbabel appears in the genealogy of Jesus. God never forgot His promise then, and He hasn't forgotten His promises to you now. When we put God first, obey with the right heart, and pursue holiness, there's blessing in the here and now—and in eternity. The world grows darker, but our light shines brighter when we live for Him.Sermon Notes: Click Here

At least he passed, Jess thought, holding the test paper. He’d been helping his son with math, but with house chores and extra work from his boss lately, studying together had been tough. Discouraged, Jess thought of his wife, who’d passed away: Lisa, you’d know what to do. I’m not as good a keeper of the home as you were. On a bigger scale, such discouragement may well have been what Zerubbabel felt. The governor of Judah had been called by God to lead the Israelites in rebuilding the temple after captivity in Babylon. When they’d laid the foundation, “many . . . who had seen the former temple, wept aloud” (Ezra 3:12). The memory of Solomon’s glorious temple lingered again now, as construction of a smaller structure resumed. Ours isn’t as good, everyone, including Zerubbabel, must’ve thought. “But now be strong, Zerubbabel,” God said, as He did to all involved: “I am with you . . . my Spirit remains among you. Do not fear” (Haggai 2:4-5). Zerubbabel could take heart in God’s guiding presence, bound by His covenant with them (v. 5). Also, “The glory of this present house will be greater,” God said (v. 9), pointing to when Jesus Himself would visit the temple (John 2:13-25). We may feel discouraged in a task God calls us to do, comparing our results with those of another season. Let’s focus on God’s plan for this season, because the work and its purpose are His, not our own.

A tiny shift in trajectory can change everything. We take that idea out of the abstract and make it practical by mapping every choice to a simple question: does this create debt I'll pay later, or an investment that pays me later? From the way GPA decimals tilt scholarship offers to how entry-level jobs build a resilient work ethic, we connect money, character, and faith into one clear framework you can use with your family in meaningful, intentional conversations today.We break down the “character economy” in plain language: selfishness, deception, impurity, and laziness accrue hidden interest that shows up as conflict, stress, and lost trust. Generosity, truthfulness, purity, and hard work compound like good savings—quietly at first, then powerfully over time. With Ephesians 5 guiding the conversation, we explore how wise living means making the most of every opportunity and considering where each step leads. Proverbs and Haggai echo the call to think about our paths, not just our moments.You'll hear practical prompts to spark conversations with kids and teens: how will this choice work out next week, next year, or twenty years from now? What habits are we planting that we actually want to harvest? We also highlight prayer as a high-yield investment that steadies our decisions and aligns our desires. By the end, you'll have a simple, repeatable way to help your family evaluate decisions, adjust course, and aim for a destination marked by freedom, integrity, and peace.You can find the devotion-driven discipleship guide that goes along with this episode at the Family Disciple Me app.If this conversation collection resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who's shaping young lives, and leave a podcast review!______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.
