The book of Haggai closes with an encouraging reminder that we work because God is at work. We builkd into the lives of others becasue God is building his church.
Discouragements and distractions can lead us to put our own purposes ahead of God's primary purpose for us: building his temple. In Haggai chapter 1 God pointedly calls his people to put first things first; how will they respond? How will we respond?
Last week Jeff Sladko challenged us with God's mission to be actively making disciples. This week, Jon Woods reminds us to examine our hearts and count the cost of being a disciple of Jesus in Luke 14:25-33.
