Sunday Study Session — Weekly meeting time 10:15 in Room 301 at Owensboro Christian Church

Series Aim: When the world shakes: trust, returning and rebuilding with God. Nov 8, 2026 —  Session 6: "Rebuild the House: Prioritize God’s Work" (Haggai 1:1–15) Haggai, Introduction The book of Haggai, though brief, carries a powerful message that resonates through the ages. Written in 520 B.C., it addresses the Jews who had returned to Judea after 70 years of exile in Babylon. Haggai's prophecy came at a crucial time when the people had become complacent, focusing on their own lives while neglecting the rebuilding of God's temple. As we delve into this Old Testament book, it's important to recognize its relevance for Christians today. The renowned pastor John MacArthur notes, "The primary theme is the rebuilding of God's temple, which had been lying in ruins since its destruction by Nebuchadnezzar in 586 B.C."

The Bible Is the Center of Focus Here!

General Statement God created the world, and it was good. He created humanity in His image to reflect His goodness, but sin brought disorder, devastation, and death into God’s creation and human life. The Old Testament tells the story of God’s patience with His rebellious covenant people and His unfolding promise to rescue sinners and restore His broken world. The New Testament announces the fulfillment of these ancient promises in Jesus Christ, through whom God reveals His goodness and loving kindness. The Gospels recount the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, our Savior and King. Acts shows how His followers, empowered by the Holy Spirit, carried His mission forward by proclaiming the gospel among all nations. The Epistles provide apostolic teaching, correction, and encouragement for believers living between Jesus’ first and second comings. Revelation, written to seven churches, offers both encouragement and challenge through vivid visions and symbolic imagery, proclaiming Chri...
