Read aloud Haggai 1:1, 1:3; 2:1,10,20. The word of the Lord came to and through the prophet. Discuss the importance of delivering a message received. Have we received a message? If so, what is the message and how effective is our delivery. What are some ways to improve. (See the response and reason for it-Haggai 1:12). Also discuss this concept - God gives it to us in order to get it through us.

Read aloud Haggai 1:5,7; 2:15,18. Talk about the importance of giving careful thought to our ways.

Read aloud Haggai 1:13-15. Consider what happens when we are stirred by the Lord? Could there be a difference between being fired up/stirred for God and fired up by God? True revival produces results.

Read aloud Haggai 2:23. Read aloud John 15:16. How meaningful is it to be chosen by the Lord.

Close your time in prayer.
