In a time of rebuilding, the prophet Haggai delivers a piercing message to a distracted people: “Is it time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins?” (v.4).

In this sermon, Pastor Hart explores God’s call to re-center our lives around His purposes. Through Haggai 1:1–5, we confront the subtle drift from devotion to distraction, and rediscover what it means to put first things first. Whether it's the temple in Jerusalem or the temple of our hearts, God invites us to pause, reflect, and realign.

This message challenges us to examine our spiritual priorities and respond with renewed commitment to God's work in our lives and communities.
