from Cross of Grace Church Sermons
In this message from Haggai 1:12-15, Pastor Ricky explores God’s call for His people to rebuild the temple after years of delay, revealing how divine commands always come with divine enabling. Drawing on the names Yahweh and Elohim—and the image of the Wright brothers discovering lift in seemingly empty air—he shows how God’s presence transforms hesitant obedience into courageous faith, as reverent fear of the Lord becomes the foundation for action. Whether starting something new or stopping something old, this message reminds us that God never calls us to step out in faith without also promising, ‘I am with you,’ supplying the power to move from ‘not yet’ to ‘yes, today.’
