      • Almighty and most merciful God, from you comes every good and perfect gift. We give you praise and thanks for all your mercies. Your goodness has created us, your bounty has sustained us, your discipline has chastened us, your patience has borne with us, your love has redeemed us. Give us a heart to love and serve you, and enable us to show our thankfulness for all your goodness and mercy by giving up ourselves to your service, and cheerfully submitting in all things to your blessed will; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

          • 1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
          • 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation.
          • 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

  • Sermon – “Is the Prophet Talking to Us?” – [Haggai 1:1-11 ESV]
      • 1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came by the hand of Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest:
      • 2 “Thus says the LORD of hosts: These people say the time has not yet come to rebuild the house of the LORD.”
      • 3 Then the word of the LORD came by the hand of Haggai the prophet,
      • 4 “Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies in ruins?
      • 5 Now, therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways.
      • 6 You have sown much, and harvested little. You eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who earns wages does so to put them into a bag with holes.
      • 7 “Thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways.
      • 8 Go up to the hills and bring wood and build the house, that I may take pleasure in it and that I may be glorified, says the LORD.
      • 9 You looked for much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why? declares the LORD of hosts. Because of my house that lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with his own house.
      • 10 Therefore the heavens above you have withheld the dew, and the earth has withheld its produce.
      • 11 And I have called for a drought on the land and the hills, on the grain, the new wine, the oil, on what the ground brings forth, on man and beast, and on all their labors.”
