In Haggai's day the people said the time had not yet come to rebuild the Lord's house. We have our own ways of saying it.

Some of them sound reasonable, and one of them even sounds like faith. Haggai answers by asking the people to consider their ways, and then by asking a question that only the oldest among them could answer.

This message sits with that question on the Sunday of Our Church Family Update, two years after our 50th Anniversary. It looks at what waiting does to a church family, what we have been handed by the generations before us, and what God says to people who are still standing in an unfinished house. Along the way it walks through who we are in this community, how ministry is funded, the Mission 100 update, and what comes next in The Second Fifty.

As you listen, maybe ask yourself where “not yet” shows up for us.

Also in this message: Haggai 1:2 · Haggai 1:5-6 · Haggai 2:3 · Haggai 2:4-8 · Haggai 2:9 · 1 Timothy 6 · Luke 8:1-3 · Ephesians 3:16-21
