The Time Has Come - Week 1

Podcast cover

Connection Church Statesboro

The sermon focuses on the book of Haggai, particularly verses 1 and 2 of chapter 1, and the series theme, "The Time Has Come," contrasting it with the Israelites' sentiment that "the time has not yet come" to rebuild the Lord's house. It emphasizes that God's word is specific and meant to move individuals closer to Him, urging listeners to shake off apathy and take their faith seriously. The message highlights three key actions: getting into God's Word, pursuing His presence, and walking in His will, illustrated by the Israelites' failure to prioritize rebuilding the temple. The speaker shares a personal anecdote about starting but not finishing a home improvement project, drawing a parallel to the Israelites' incomplete temple. He encourages listeners to bring their obstacles to God, trusting in His power and love to overcome them.
