The Minor Prophets: Haggai

Haggai is a prophet to the returned exiles in Jerusalem. After starting off strong in the process of rebuilding the temple, they soon drifted off into misplaced priorities and faced discouragement from within themselves and from the people around them. God sends Haggai to call them out for their sin and encourage them in the kingdom work He has for them. The issues the people of Jerusalem were facing are common to us today. We would do well to listen to the prophet Haggai, just as the people did then.
