I Have Better Things to Do | Haggai 1:2-6 | Book of Haggai

Are you constantly telling yourself you'll focus on what matters most "when the time is right"? In this challenging message from Haggai 1:2-6, Pastor John reveals that our greatest spiritual problem is often not a lack of time, but misplaced treasure. Through the story of Israel's unfinished temple, we discover how comfort, distraction, and busyness can quietly take God's rightful place in our hearts. Learn why God calls us to "consider our ways" and how the gospel of Jesus Christ reorients our priorities, affections, and purpose. Watch now and be encouraged to stop the drift, evaluate what you truly treasure, and put Christ first in every area of life. -- ABOUT CROSSLIFE CHURCH CrossLife is a dynamic group of people of all ages who are seeking to become passionate followers of Jesus Christ in a challenging and ever-changing world.
