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 15, 2026 —  Session 7: "Take Courage: God’s Presence in the Work" (Haggai 2:1–9) Study Notes — Discussion Handout — Audio Essay Read: Haggai 2:1–9 --- NIV Bible Audio Focus: Encouragement to the people to continue the work, God’s promise of His presence, and the greater glory to come. NOTE TO SELF The work feels small compared to what it once was, and I feel small too—my strength is not what it was, my influence perhaps less obvious than in earlier years. But God says to me what He said to the people rebuilding the temple: Take courage. I am with you. My presence is enough.

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...
