In Haggai 1: 1-4 God challenged the nation about their priorities. He wanted them to rebuild the temple. They agreed but said, "Not now." Verse 13-14 God promised, "I am with you," when they got distracted by the opposition. What is God saying to us today Wha is stopping us from building his kingdom? We need to seek God, taste how good he is, and trust that he is working behind the scenes.
You can't build something that's already there, unless it's in disrepair. Wake up your faith. Lead, don't supervise, and stand up to opposition.
Justin Renton shared the first lesson in our series for the year-BUILDtogether
To know about the kingdom you must know about its king. Do we call Jesus our king, and live out the values of the kingdom?
The theme of the conference was "BUILDtogether" and the speakers and discussions challenged the Elders, Evangelists, Teachers and lay leaders to love God, love people and allow the Spirit to lead the building of the church.
What do fathers represent? Leaders, defenders, authority, providers, warmth, security, belonging and more. Practicals: Lead by example, stand in the gap, establish customs, identify and meet needs, be a source of hope and be willing to pay the ultimate sacrifce.
