"Haggai & Zechariah: Encouragements for Kingdom Work" - Haggai 1:1-11; 2:1-9; 20-23

We continue our survey of the minor prophets with the prophets Haggai & Zechariah. We are taking these two together because they prophesied at the same time and have a very similar ministry to God’s people. As prophets to Israel post-exile, these two men had a different emphasis than many of the pre-exile prophets. Instead of warning of judgment to come, their ministry focused on encouragement to keep laboring for the Lord in the work He had called them to complete. As we read them today, God still speaks to his Church to encourage us to overcome the obstacles and persevere in the work of His kingdom.
