The God Who Invites Us to Consider

Series: The Story of Redemption

Category: Grace, Character of God

Speaker: Jason Williams

In this sermon from the Story of Redemption series, we looked at Haggai 1 and saw a God who lovingly invites His people to consider the emptiness of their disobedience. Though they had returned from exile, their focus had shifted from rebuilding the temple to building their own houses. By calling them to consider their ways, God exposed how spiritual drift can lead to lives that feel busy, yet ultimately unsatisfied. When the people responded, we saw that God does not shame them but met their obedience with His presence and stirred their hearts to action. Ultimately, Haggai points us to Jesus, who makes us the dwelling place of God. The Lord who disrupts our misplaced priorities is also the Lord who draws near to restore what matters most, His presence with us.
