Haggai 1:1-15 - Consider Your Ways

We are starting a new study for a new book of the Bible.

It's actually one that there's some dispute about this, either may never have been taught in FBC's history or just briefly touched upon, maybe in the distant past, and it is the book of Haggai.

Did you hear how I said that? Haggai.

I know maybe you grew up like me saying it as Haggai so that it rhymes in a certain book of the Bible song.

You know what I mean? But that's okay.

You can pronounce it however you like.

This is a total judgment-free zone when it comes to Old Testament pronunciation.

So just kind of big picture of what the teaching is going to look like at FBC over the next... several months and on, is we're going to do this book of Haggai, the scroll of Haggai, over the next three weeks.

It's a little book.

It's only two chapters.

And it's going to lead right into a study in Zechariah, which is actually going to take us right up to Christmas.

Both of these lead right up into Christmas.

You see the subtitle, O Come, Emmanuel.

It's really, these books point to Jesus in pretty spectacular ways.

I think it'll be encouraging to us as we get ready for the celebration of of his first coming at Christmas time.

And then right after Christmas, we're going to take three weeks and look just at the topic of forgiveness.

So that's, we thought, man, that's probably good timing since we'll have been around family for a few weeks and extended family.

We're like, boy, we'll probably have plenty of stuff to forgive and be forgiven for.

So look forward to that in January, the start of 2027.

We're going to start with forgiveness.

And then right after that, we're going to start 2 Corinthians, which will probably take us into the summer.

So that's this.

I just want you to know this is our commitment to you as elders is we want to bring you the word of God every week.

And this is what we need as individuals.

This is what we need as a church.
