    Putting God First & Keeping God First

    I. Introduction: The Book of Haggai matters because the Temple matters. The Temple matters because worship matters. Worship matters because God is a holy God and commands those who worship Him to be holy as well. The Temple is primarily about God’s presence, but is also about God’s place. Don’t make the place more important than the presence. The pride of the Temple was a problem in Solomon’s day and in Jesus' day. II. Read Haggai 1 & 2 (Matthew 6:33-34) III. The History of True Worship - • False worship - • Vain worship - • True worship - 1. The altars in Genesis: a. Genesis 8:20-22, Noah at Mount Ararat b. Genesis 12:5-7, Abram at Shechem c. Genesis 12:8-9, Abram at Bethel d. Genesis 13:14-18, Abram at Hebron e. Genesis 22:9-14, Abraham at Mount Moriah (a father offered a son) f. Isaac would build altars to worship the LORD g. Jacob would build altars to worship the LORD 2. The altars in Exodus: a. Exodus 3:1-6, Moses was in the presence of God b. Exodus 12 - The doorposts were the “altars” c. Exodus 17:8-16, Israel defeats Amalek then Moses builds an altar (Jehovah-Nissi) 3. The Tabernacle in Exodus - 24:15-18 a. Exodus 25-40 (incredible detail of the mobile sanctuary) b. Joshua 22:19-29 (The eastern tribes' altar of witness) 4. The Temple with David & Solomon - a. I Chronicles 15:1; 16:1; 17:1-15, 16-27; 22:1-19; 28:1-21; 29:1-22 5.

    The Great Debate

    The Anatomy of our Atonement; The Goal of Grace (no help from humans); The Poverty of Humanity.   John 3:16 does not say FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE AND NOW YOU GIVE A LITTLE TOO!   I. The All-Sufficient Savior: from 3,000 in Acts 2:41 to 5,000 in Acts 4:4                1.            Who does the saving? GOD                2.            Who is being saved? US                3.            Why does God save                4.            How does God save REGENERATION (not re-engineered); not a tune-up, rather a resurrection! Not a resuscitation, rather a resurrection!     II. The Savior vs The Sinner     God/Us (we didn’t know)                •             His goodness * lost - Lk 15                •             His lovingkindness * blind - Lk 6:39                •             His mercy * dead - Eph 2:1-10                •             His washing * bankrupt-Mt 5                •             His renewing * impossible - Lk 18                •             His Holy Spirit (John 1:9-11; 3:1-8; 16:7 convicts then converts and cleanses)                •             His grace                 •             His heir                 •             His hope                •             His life (3 aspects) = spiritual life - speaks of the power nature  = Abundant life - speaks of purpose  = eternal life - speaks of permanence    What a father needs most in life? Paul was crystal clear in I Timothy 1:12-15 + Admission - BC I’m a sinner, I need a Savior + Belief - Faith in what God did  + Confess - Romans 10:9-10
