2. How Not to Be a Cynic (Haggai 2:1-9)
No sooner has the temple construction resumed than a spiritual sickness threatens to break out among the people—the sickness of cynicism. How can we overcome the discouragement of cynicism, the defining spirit of our age? In his second message, Haggai provides a cure, rooted in God's promises.
Scripture passages cited in this message include Haggai 1:15; 2:1-9; Ecclesiastes 7:10; Romans 8:28; and Luke 24:13-21.
