ED BESSELMAN -Haggai 1:1 - 2:9 
 
Haggai 1:1 - 2:9 
After 70 years in Babylonian captivity, God directed Cyrus - the Persian king to allow the Jews to return to Judah, reconstruct their city and rebuild the Temple (that had been destroyed by Babylon in 586 B.C.). 
Haggai reproves the Jews for neglecting the temple. 
Three appeals in Haggai 1:4-8: 
1) An appeal to the mind 
(How is it that you think that ‘it is not the time to build the LORD's house’, when you are living in luxury houses that you built for yourselves?) 
2) An appeal to the heart 
(Consider your ways!) 
3) And an appeal to the will 
(Go up and rebuild the temple.). 
Three curses because of Israel’s inaction and their actions 
1) ‘the heaven over you is stayed from dew’ 
2) ‘the earth is stayed from her fruit’. 
 3) I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labor of the hands. 
"Those who plan to give to God 'once they have enough for themselves' will never have enough for themselves!" 
Hag 1:12-15  Haggai promises God’s assistance to Israel. 
How did the rebuilding of the temple come about? 
 
“Where He leads me - I will follow, 
Anywhere He sends me - I will go, 
Whatsoever He commands me - I will do”. 
 God sought to warn the people to heed His Word - through His servant Haggai. He also offered promises to motivate them to follow Him. 
1) God’s people need to reconsider their priorities 
2) Take courage 
act on the basis of God’s promises 
be stirred up by the prophecies 
set about to rebuild the temple. 
When we are doing God’s work, obstruction will arise! 
Read Ezra 5:1 – 6:16 
Haggai chapter 1 relates... that 
The People of God 
 Reconsidered their Priorities, 
 Acted on God’s Promises, 
 Were encouraged by the Prophecies, 
 Set about to rebuild their Place of worship. 
Chapt 2 vss. 6-9 First prophecy in Haggai 
Compare Haggai 2:6-7 with Hebrews 12:26-29. 
The view is also focused towards the time of the end - that is - the appearing of the Messiah. Christ will be revealed, at His second coming. Are you READY? 
Haggai 2:7 I will shake all nations, and the Desire of all nations shall come. 
Jesus is the ultimate “Desire of All Nations” and the radiance of God’s glory. What the temple pictured - Christ fulfilled. 
Jesus is the only one Who can fulfill the deepest desires of the human heart. As Blaise Pascal said, “there is a God-shaped vacuum inside every person”. 
If we do not fill the vacuum with God, we are bound to fill it with the junk food of this world, (AND we will be constantly lusting for more – More – MORE, BUT we will never be satisfied. 
 
1) We are challenged — to examine our priorities - to see if we are more interested in our own pleasures than doing the work of God; 
2) We are encouraged — to reject a defeatist attitude, when we run into opposition (or discouraging circumstances); 
3) We are encouraged — to rest secure in God’s hands, knowing that He will abundantly bless us (as we faithfully serve Him). 
4) We are tested — to acknowledge our sins / our failures, to REPENT, and to live pure and holy lives before God; 
5) We are encouraged — to act courageously for God, because we have the assurance that He is with us always, and HE is in full control of our circumstances; 
 
Remember the entry that Jim Elliot made in his journal (right before he, and four other missionaries were killed by the very tribe, that they were attempting to reach with the gospel) — “He is no fool, who gives (what he cannot keep) to gain that (which he cannot lose).” 
 
My life touched yours for a very brief space. 
And what, O what, did you see? 
A worried, a hurried, an anxious face? 
Or the beauty of Jesus in me? 
Was I so steeped in the ways of the world 
(That you didn’t detect one thing) 
That would set me apart, and showed that my heart, 
Belonged to the Heavenly King? 
 
For me (from this moment on) – may my prayer be — 
All to Jesus, I surrender 
All to Him, I freely give; 
I will ever love and trust Him 
In His presence daily live. 
(Moment by Moment) 
I surrender all 
I surrender all; 
All to Thee, my blessed Savior, 
I surrender all.

GERRY PRIANO - Study of the Minor Prophets: Amos 2:4-16 & Amos 3 
As we come to the fourth verse in this second chapter of the Bible Book of Amos, his declaration of God's judgement moves from the six Gentile nations surrounding them, first to Judah, and then to Israel, the northern kingdom, to whom Amos had been sent. Their sins are laid out, and their special place in relationship with God is shown in His choosing them and His care for them. BUT, responsibility flows from relationship!! In the third chapter, God's word turns "against the ENTIRE family which He brought up from the land of Egypt." Here we notice in the first of three messages Amos gives, four divine calls, and that even in judgement, there is mercy. 
 
KEY SCRIPTURES: Amos 2:4 - 3:15; Deut. 7:6-8; 24:10-13,17; 2 Sam. 12:14; John 15:16; Romans 2:4; 8:29; 9:4-5; 1 Cor. 5:1; Eph. 1:4, 19-23; 4:1; Rev. 3:17

ED BESSELMAN - Joshua 10:15-28 
Title ----- I Got Good News ... I Got Bad News 
Study to show yourself approved unto God... 
Let's play 'Hide and Seek'! 
 Verse 16 But these five kings fled... and hid themselves in a cave 
Birds of a feather flock together 
 Verse 17 And it was told Joshua... saying... The five kings are found hid in a cave at Makkedah. 
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. & Backs against the wall. 
 Verse 18 And Joshua said... Roll great stones upon the mouth of the cave... and set men by it... for to keep them: 
Just in the nick of time. 
 Verse 19 And stay ye not... but pursue after your enemies... and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand. 
It's Coming Like a Freight Train. 
 Verse 20 And it came to pass... when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter... till they were consumed... that the rest which ...

Title: The Peril of Walking By Sight 
 
Key Question: What can believers in the Lord Jesus Christ learn from the deception of the Gibeonites? 
 
Brief: The story in Joshua 9 is interesting and entertaining, BUT alarming. The application today to the believer in the Lord Jesus is vitally important, for we must be aware of the strategies of the enemy. There are 2 different strategies by the people of the land of Canaan. First, "ALL" the kings have a summit to plan to FIGHT with the children of Israel. The second strategy is DECEPTION. Both are very dangerous, but one is more easily fallen to than the other. We will see the Aggressors, the Appeasers, Israel's Acceptance, and finally, the Application. 
 
Key Scriptures: Joshua 9:1-15; Deuteronomy 7:1-2; 20:10-16; 2 Corinthians 2:11; 5:7; Ephesians 6:10-18

Joshua 9:1-15  'The Peril of Walking By Sight'- GERRY PRIANO

Joshua 3:1-8 ‘The Exultation of Joshua’ 
Mark brings to note that a strong faith and trust in the Lord led Joshua’s decision to attack the most fortified and most difficult target as his first action on the west side of the Jordan. Later in this message we are shown the profound encouragement of the Lord saying to Joshua, ‘I will be with you as I was with Moses’. You will note that woven in as Mark covers these verses, is the explanation of the names given to Joshua, ultimately pointing to the name which blesses all who hear, ‘God is salvation’!
