In this sermon Rev Quigley preaches on Haggai ch1:1-12 and challenges his godly listeners as to the whole-heartedness of their commitment to God and the building of His Kingdom for His glory.
He very clearly makes the point, that to give ourselves, as the people of God, to anything else is utterly futile and that we will gain absolutely nothing from doing so.
“ You've got to hear this, and listen! ” "Critical for Western Clergy to listen to this" is my short comment. Pastor Quigley scripturally analyses our Western malaise, and prescribes an antidote. This, and the next Haggai sermon he preaches are the two most insightful sermons I've heard on what our churches need to do today. Highly, highly recommended. I'm writing to all my old OPC presbytery friends and tipping them to this set of sermons. We need to go in a different direction, or we will find our plight similar to that of the Mediterranean church when Islam cut thru it like butter -- conquering the whole of the ancient church in about 10 years! The next 20 years are critical to the Western Church!

“ Haggai's Message: God's Sovereignty ” If you are like me, you probably have difficulty finding the book of
Haggai in your Bible. Yet this little and obscure book has a powerful
message from God to us that is not simply relevant, but vital. Pastor
Quigley brings out this message so we can better understand what God
is saying through this book. In Romans 6:22, those who are set free of
sin have become slaves of God. The question Paul asks in 6:21 is what
fruit were you getting from sin? The answer is none. But then Paul
says that, in Christ, the fruit you get leads to
sanctification. Haggai shows us that God is challenging us to consider
our ways. Is being a Christian just one compartment in life, or does
it mean more than that? Being a slave to God means taking his yoke
(Matt 11:29-30). I was challenged to the core when I realized this,
and I think anyone who listens to this sermon will be, too.

“ Haggai's Message: God's Sovereignty ” The book of Haggai itself doesn't place the four messages from Haggai
into their historical context. That's probably one reason why the book
is obscure. I encourage anyone to listen to Pastor Quigley's first
message in this series (Sermon ID 31107105348) to understand the
situation into which Haggai comes with his message. And I also highly
recommend the message by Pastor Noel Hughes on Haggai, Sermon ID
10250616301, which gives an in-depth overview of the book.
