What's a house without a family? The structure is there, but the purpose is missing. Today Dr. John begins a study of the book of Haggai. Jews have returned to Jerusalem after the 70-year captivity. The foundation of the temple was rebuilt - but then forgotten. Many tended to their own fields and homes but the presence of God was absent. The account of a people busy about their own concerns but negletful of God sound too current to ignore. God's Presence Among His People: There are people who believe that their well-being does not depend on God at all. They see His blessings but do not acknowledge their dependence. Believers may think they are immune to this forgetfulness, but experience suggests otherwise. In this one-week series, “God’s Presence Among His People”, Dr. John Neufeld looks at the book of Haggai. The prophet spoke to a people who lived as if they could be independent from God. Their professions echoed the truth, but their practice was self-sufficient. Listen to this series and consider how we are to live for God and with God.
