A series of three sermons featuring the entirety of the Old Testament book of Haggai and the first chapter of the book of Ezra. The series examines the historical background of the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple, including the call to rebuild and the subsequent challenges that the people faced. Numerous applications for building up God's kingdom today are found within these ancient texts. The third sermon culminated with a "Celebration Sunday" where the congregation was invited to make a pledge of their support to a "Capital Fund Campaign" for new construction.
