No sooner has the temple construction resumed than a spiritual sickness threatens to break out among the people—the sickness of cynicism. How can we overcome the discouragement of cynicism, the defining spirit of our age? In his second message, Haggai provides a cure, rooted in God's promises.

Scripture passages cited in this message include Haggai 1:15; 2:1-9; Ecclesiastes 7:10; Romans 8:28; and Luke 24:13-21.

Sixteen years after the exile, the prophet Haggai began to preach in Jerusalem. His message? “Build the house!” Calling the people to put aside apathy and to put God first in their lives, Haggai instructs God’s people to resume construction on the temple so that the nation might be restored.

Before his death Paul wrote one last letter to Timothy, his beloved protégé, calling him to preach the Word faithfully no matter the cost.

This message was given by Tim Cedarland, Thrive director emeritus.

The Bible instructs us to keep in step with the Spirit. But how do we do that? In this message, Tyson Lash, pastor at Harbor Life Church, teaches on what it looks like to live a Spirit-filled life.

"Spiritual warfare" is the idea that spiritual forces are real and can affect us. What should we know about this unseen realm? And how does Jesus' victory change the way spiritual forces can impact our lives?

Scripture passages cited (or alluded to) in this message include Ephesians 4:27; 6:10-12; Daniel 10; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; 2 Timothy 2:26; 1 Corinthians 6:19; James 4:7; 1 Kings 22; Acts 26:18; John 5:24; Colossians 2:15; and Romans 8:38-39.

Paul ends his discussion on spiritual gifts by talking about the gift of tongues—the Spirit-inspired ability to speak a language that you've never studied. What exactly is this gift, why might God have given it to us, and what does it look like to use it in a biblical way?

Scripture passages cited (or alluded to) in this message include 1 Corinthians 12:10, 13, 30; 13:1; 14:1-9, 14, 16, 18-19, 23, 26-28; and Acts 2:4.

"Eagerly desire spiritual gifts," says Paul, "especially the gift of prophecy" (1 Cor 14:1). But why does he single out prophecy as a gift we should desire? According to the Bible, prophecy is based on a revelation from God and, when used properly, can powerfully impact other people.

Scripture passages cited (or alluded to) in this message include 1 Corinthians 12:7, 28-29; 14:3, 26-37; 1 Peter 5:6; Matthew 11:13; Hebrews 1:1-2; Acts 2:17; 8:29; 17:11; 21:11, 33; Titus 2:12; 2 Timothy 3:16; Philippians 3:15; 1 Thessalonians 5:19-21; 1 Corinthians 13:8-12; Revelation 19:10; and Psalm 19:2.
