THE THANG:

Haggai – minor prophet during Persian rule:

1) who’s house are you focused on building? Your’s or God’s?

Chapter 1 – “Consider Your Ways”

• God calls out misplaced priorities.

• “You live in paneled houses while this house lies in ruins.” (1:4)

• Lesson: When God isn’t first, everything else falls short.

Chapter 2 – “Be Strong and Build”

• God encourages perseverance.

• “Be strong… and work. For I am with you.” (2:4)

• Lesson: God values faithfulness over appearance.

Core Themes for Men:

• Priorities: Put God’s house before your own.

• Discipline: Obedience leads to blessing.

• Courage: Be strong and build.

• Presence: God is with you.

• Legacy: Faithfulness today impacts generations.

Key Verses:

• Haggai 1:4–5 – “Consider your ways.”

• Haggai 1:14 – “The Lord stirred up the spirit of the people.”

• Haggai 2:4 – “Be strong… and work. For I am with you.”

• Haggai 2:9 – “The glory of this present house will be greater than the former.”

F3 Men’s Teaching Framework – “Head, Heart, Hands”

HEAD — Truth (What does God’s Word say?)

• Read the passage and summarize context.

• Identify the key truth or principle.

HEART — Tension (What does this expose in me?)

• Where am I distracted or misaligned?

• What excuses keep me from obedience?

• Share a personal story of struggle or growth.

HANDS — Action (What do I do with this?)

– Set one practical step of obedience.

– Rebuild spiritual rhythms: prayer, Word, accountability.

– Lean on Philippians 4:13 – “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

– Iron Sharpens Iron (Proverbs 27:17): Invite men to share how this applies to them.
