Haggai, Zechariah Part 1 • Dr. Anthony Sweat • Dec. 5 - Dec. 11 • Come Follow Me

How does temple building parallel building a corporate and individual spiritual life? Dr. Anthony Sweat examines the exiled Israelites’ return to Jerusalem and their attempt to rebuild their spiritual lives and learn to seek fulfillment outside of materialism, their call to be holy, and the essential nature of temple worship.

    I absolutely loved Brother Sweats devotional, “We Need an Endowment “ and invited my family to watch it.

    Every few months I hear another quote that I hadn't come across before, from people in this dispensation, saying that when we give our time to doing the Lord's work (doing Church callings, redeeming the dead, missionary work, ministering, and caring for the needy) He will take care of our finances and support. It's been true for me as much as I've tried it so far, and I'm always working to keep it up and not slack off. It's the same thing people like Haggai were saying a long time ago.

    One of my favorite insights about the lost pages of the BOM manuscript is that the Lord prepared a way not only to restore but to improve the pages. And likewise, Joseph became a better more obedient prophet. We are also not just restored but improved and strengthened by the repentance process.

    Haggai is my all time favourite book in the Old Testament. Short but powerful. It focusses on the temple and the Savior. The challenge for us is how do we act on the three famous words of 'Consider thy ways '.

    I believe that it bears saying when we say or hear or read “through no fault of your own,” we should also include those of us who know our ways and know that much of what we suffer is through fault of our own.

    Consider my ways…thank you for these great teachings, and building greater understanding , the temple, the power of the endowment vs. the presentation, so many personal applications for this day. Such powerful teaching when you connect what we are learning and what we learned last year from the Doctrine and Covenants, Joseph Smith, the Kirkland temple, examples of church history, etc. Love these prophets who had smaller books but equally important. I feel sad that the Old Testament is ending but can’t wait for Jesus to come.

    Oh my goodness! Your podcasts are always so good but sometimes one stands out as just being awesome. This is one of those with Dr. Sweat. I have to say one can't help but feel the spirit that comes from this inspired lesson about the Temple. I just loved it. With episodes that stand out I will go back and re-watch and invite my kids to watch it so they don't miss out. I have "considered my ways" which is always a could call to reevaluate, rededicate, repent! Thank you so much. I don't think Hank and John really have any way to comprehend how much positivity, inspiration and encouragement they are sending out to everyone that studies and listens with them! You're doing a GREAT work!!

    My cousin, Blair Camp, was the fire chief, who made the decision not to knock down the walls, and to preserve them, so they could be made into a Temple.
