In this session we will consider how God’s promise of His presence is a primary motivator to obedience. Too often we think of obedience in the Christian life as perfunctory behavior that seems mundane. This text reminds us that obedience is the natural response to the presence of God, and the presence of God in the people’s rebuilding of the temple in Haggai points forward to the ultimate act of God’s presence being known in the coming of Jesus. This Old Testament book will prove relevant to us as we realize that we are living out the same promise and commitment as the Israelites did in the context of Haggai.
