Haggai 2:1–9

Christopher Ash reflects on Haggai 2:1–9, exploring the discouragement faced by the Jewish people rebuilding the temple and relating it to Christian experiences today. Ash argues that while Christians may feel insignificant and discouraged, they can find hope and strength in God’s promises and presence, just as the Jews were reassured by God’s word through Haggai.

We need one another. Yet we don’t always know how to develop deep relationships to help us grow in the Christian life. Younger believers benefit from the guidance and wisdom of more mature saints as their faith deepens. But too often, potential mentors lack clarity and training on how to engage in discipling those they can influence.

Whether you’re longing to find a spiritual mentor or hoping to serve as a guide for someone else, we have a FREE resource to encourage and equip you. In Growing Together: Taking Mentoring Beyond Small Talk and Prayer Requests, Melissa Kruger, TGC’s vice president of discipleship programming, offers encouraging lessons to guide conversations that promote spiritual growth in both the mentee and mentor.
