Audio of Pastor Larry Rednower's sermon in Haggai chapter 2. We revisit the Israelites after their return from exile to find that they have not yet rebuilt the temple. God's response is to cause a famine and punch a hole in their money bags, causing the Israelites to respond after Haggai points this out to begin rebuilding the temple in earnest. Going through this story, Pastor Larry points out three encouragements to people who put God's work first and how the blessings can start today. Delivered at New Haven Fieldhouse on October 19, 2025.
