    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 Temples in the Old & New Testaments: a. Solomon’s Temple - b. Zerubabbel’s Temple (Haggai) - c. Herod’s Temple (46 years) - John d.

    Deal With the Distractions to Discipleship

    There is amazing brevity & clarity given the challenges in Crete! MAP Complex issues yet no long book is written - no second book is written (like Timothy). Final comments are aimed at RELATIONSHIPS — The challenges & The celebrations The damage of division is the distraction to discipleship! The Great Commission is the evangelistic pillar of the church. Division distracts from TRUTH from GRACE from LOVE as well! Remember that Timothy and Titus are more than Leadership Books (Pastoral Epistles). They are getting back to discipleship books, too! This is why the deceiver sows the discord of division. • Jesus - John 7:34; 9:16; 10:19 • Matthew 7:1-5 (see the sin in others) - legalism; lacking truth or lacking grace • What division is and what division isn’t - Disagreeing is not division - Philippians 4:1-3 • A Corinthian Concern (not just a problem in Crete) - I Cor. 1:10-18; 3:1-9; 11:17-22; Romans 16:17-20; II Thess 3:14-15; II Timothy 2:24-26; III John 9-10; Jude 17-19 I. REMIND / REMEMBER (II Tim. 2:1-9) II. REJECT (3 Steps) 1. Warn them - 2 . Warn them again - 3. Remove them - I Cor. 5 III. RESTORE Matthew 18:15-17; Acts 6; II • FALSE TEACHERS - • FACTIOUS PEOPLE - • FELLOW SERVANTS - • FAITHFUL FRIENDS - • 12-15 — Paul’s common practice was to mention his faithful team • “We must have the heart of a child and the hide of a rhino” - Wise as serpents but gentle as doves!

    MISSION

    Matt 28:19-20: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Then, Jesus gives these three commands and a promise. Let’s take a look at each one. Command 1: Make Disciples: Command 2: Baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: Command 3: Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you: The Promise: And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age: Acts 1:8: But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. Now, where do we actually do this? Jerusalem (where we are now) Judea and Samaria (neighboring areas) End of the earth (all other places)

    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
