It is entirely possible to experience God’s redeeming grace, settle back into everyday life, and yet slowly reorder our world around ourselves.  When the Jewish exiles returned to Jerusalem, they began rebuilding the Temple, the focal point of worship and God's presence.  However, they evenentually abandoned the work after only two years.  While God’s house lay in ruins, the people poured their energy, time, and finest resources into paneling their own homes.  They were constantly busy yet unfulfilled, sowing much but harvesting little, because their priorities were out of alignment with God's Kingdom.

In this challenging two-part series, Pastor Ramylal Fernando takes us into the post-exilic prophecy of Haggai to confront our spiritual drift and rediscover what it means to build God’s Church today
