"Seize the Moment"

A Timely Sermon Series

Pressures, demands, expectations, and tasks push in from all sides and assault our schedules. Do this! Be there! Finish that! Call them! Sound familiar? It seems as though everyone wants something from us - family, friends, employer, school, church, clubs. Soon there is little left to give, as we run out of energy and time. We find ourselves rushing through life, attending to the necessary, the immediate and the urgent. The important is all too often left in the dust. Our problem is not the volume of demands or lack of scheduling skills, but values - what is truly important to us.

Our values and priorities are reflected in how we use our resources - time, money, strength, and talent. Often our actions belie our words. We say God is number one, but then we relegate him to a lesser number on our "to do" lists. Twenty-five centuries ago, a voice was heard, calling men and women to the right priorities. Haggai knew what was important and what had to be done, and he challenged God's people to respond.

Although Haggai is a small book, it is filled with challenge and promise, reminding us of God's claim on our lives and our priorities. Beginning on Sunday, April 14, Pastor David will introduce our church family to the remarkable teaching of this minor prophet with a major message.  The book of Haggai is only two chapters long.  That's right, only two chapters! But packed inside those two chapters are important lessons for God's people today. The sermon series will address issues such as:

Getting Into Gear (1:1-4) - April 14

What Does God Have to Do to Get Your Attention? (1:5-11)  - April 21

Are You Putting First Things First? (1:12-15) - April 28

You Can't Go Forward Looking Backward (2:1-5) -  May 5

Practicing Patience (2:15-19) -  May 12

Join God's Team if You Want to Win (2:20-24)  - May 19

Be there each Sunday morning, from April 14 through May 19 as we gain guidance for seizing the moments of our lives.
