Read the Story

Haggai 1:1 says God's word came by Haggai the prophet. God's people had come home. But God's house was broken. The people built nice homes for themselves. They said it was not time to build God's house.

God told them to think about what they were doing. God told them to bring wood and build the house. The people obeyed. God said, I am with you. Then they all worked on God's house.
