Haggai 2:10–14 Explained: Why Religious Activity Cannot Make Us Holy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Haggai 2:10–14 explains why religious activity cannot make us holy, how uncleanness spreads, and how Jesus gives sinners the righteousness they cannot produce.
Why Did God Destroy the Canaanites? 400 Years of Mercy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why did God destroy the Canaanites? It is one of the most common objections raised against the God of the Bible. When people want to criticize Him, they point to the conquest of Canaan and ask how a good God could command the destruction of an entire people. The title of this study might sound like it does not make sense: God’s mercy to the Canaanites. When we think of the Canaanites, we think of judgment, not mercy. But even though the Canaanites are one of the clearest pictures of God’s judgme
Why the Second Temple’s Glory Was Greater Than Solomon’s (Haggai 2:6–9) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Years ago I told my mentor, Barry Branaman, that there were three temples. He disagreed with me, so I opened my study Bible and showed him the note: Solomon built the first, the returning exiles built the second, and Herod built the third.

Read excerpt
Last week we finished Haggai 1 with one of the great turnarounds in the Old Testament: sixteen years of neglect ended in twenty-three days. Haggai preached, the people repented, and they went back to work on the house of the Lord. Surely it was smooth sailing from there to the dedication. But when we open chapter 2, we find an enemy already standing on the job site — one that carried no sword, laid no siege, and wrote no letters to the king like the opponents in Ezra 4. This enemy showed up insi
What God Says When We Repent | Haggai 1:9–15 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Have you ever been through a season when nothing seemed to work? The car and the water heater die in the same month. You finally get a little ahead financially, and an unexpected bill shows up. You work harder than ever and somehow end up further behind. Most of the time we can't say for certain why hard seasons happen — but in Haggai 1:9–15, God tells His people exactly what He says when we repent, and what was really behind their hardship all along. https://youtu.be/96WuM0aS7Do Table of conten
