Build Together, Part 2-by Mfundo Nondala
Mar 10, 2024
Sermon recap:
You don't builds something that's already there, unless it has collapsed.
1. Wake up your faith. Discouragement sets in when we focus on what we see and hear around us. Are you comfortable or involved? Are you connected to God? What do we need to rebuild as a congregation?
2. Lead, don't supervise. There is a time to lead from the front and get your hands dirty. Take it seriously.
3. Stand up to opposition. Opposition brings accountability and commitment, or destruction that hurts, humiliates and causes fighting. Ask why?

In Haggai 1: 1-4 God challenged the nation about their priorities. He wanted them to rebuild the temple. They agreed but said, "Not now." Verse 13-14 God promised, "I am with you," when they got distracted by the opposition. What is God saying to us today Wha is stopping us from building his kingdom? We need to seek God, taste how good he is, and trust that he is working behind the scenes.
Love and Respect: The Complete Equation. The Bible tells us in the book of Ephesians that men need respect, while women need to be loved.
You know you're spiritually mature when you trust God's plan for salvaltion. You've moved forward to maturity when others can see your progress. And you've moved to maturity when you show patience and diligence to the end.
