John Ross concludes the series in Haggai 2, where God addresses Jews discouraged that their rebuilt temple looks inferior to Solomon's original. God promises future glory when Messiah himself will visit, reminding them that his presence matters more than building materials. Ross explores the contagious nature of uncleanness versus holiness—warning that rituals and proximity to holy things don't sanctify us—and challenges modern believers who expect spiritual growth through osmosis. He encourages "sanctified daydreaming" about eternal fruits of our labor, especially for leaders and parents battling discouragement in the daily grind. Speaker: John Ross
