- Haggai 2:1-9
- Be strong!
- You have to talk to yourself in an uplifting way.

- Hope, not hype.
- Not only rebuilding the temple, but reinventing the template.
- You can meet God ANYWHERE!
- The proof of you sincerity to Christianity is not poverty.
- God is not stuck in our scarcity.
- Not just money, but peace of mind as well.
