A Call to RepentanceBible Readings: Zechariah 1:1-6Summary: In Zechariah 1:1-6 God sent a message to the Jewswho had come back to Jerusalem. Now back in theirhomeland, they had grown cold in their spiritual lives.The initial enthusiasm they had for rebuilding the new templehad turned into complacency and discouragement. Theirwork had stopped, their faithfulness had wilted, and theLord was not pleased. Haggai’s primary purpose was to getthe people to restart the work of building the temple.Zechariah’s purpose went even deeper. He called thepeople to a renewed closeness to the Lord. Our text showshow God works when they have strayed, calling us back toHimself. The message of summoning the people to “return”to the Lord has ever been the earmark of all of God’s truemessengers. It is imperative that we heed this call ofZechariah and that this message of repentance be preachedin all the world.Preached By Rev Laven Shunmugam 29/6/25 AM Service
