Introduction (1 of 5)
Series: Consider Your Ways

Book of Haggai, Jeremiah 25:1-11, Jeremiah 29 11-14
I’m going to ask you to turn to the Old Testament Book of Haggai. If you don’t know where it is, the best way to find it is to go to your table of contents. It’s a small book at the end of the Old Testament. In fact, it’s the second shortest book in the entire Old Testament. For the five weeks-including today-of the month of June, we’re going to be investing our time looking at the Book of Haggai. We’re going to be looking at the words this Old Testament prophet receives from the Lord. We’re going to look at these two chapters he’s written under the heading of ‘‘Consider Your Ways.’’ As you can see in the logo, we have a decision to make. Are we going to choose God’s business or our own? That’s what the two doors in the logo represent. Every decision we make in life involves going through one of those two doorways. The big decisions that have ramifications spanning a lifetime have to go through one of those two doors. The mundane decisions-the thousands of decisions we make every week-also go through one of those doors. God is asking His people-both in the days of Haggai and today-if we are going to choose His ways or ours. I want you to take a moment and think about some of the decisions you made this last week. Again, some of them are incredibly small. Others are really big decisions. In the quietness of your heart, I want you to take a moment as we embark on this journey to ask the question, ‘‘Did I go through the door of my ways or God’s ways this week?’’ Don’t focus on anybody else or wonder what others are thinking. Between you and God, did you go through the door of your ways or did you make the decision of obedience and choose His ways? This is what the Book of Haggai is all about and this is the journey we’re going to embark upon. Let’s take a moment to pray again and quietly ask, ‘‘Lord, have I been doing it Your way or have I been doing it ...
