It seems that every year there is one particular toy or gadget that is the hottest, the most desired gift.   Stores are sold out, there are fights and confrontations between customers, wrestling to lay claim to the coveted prize — a battery operated fur-ball that taunts anyone who squeezes it.   Why do we attempt to move heaven and earth to acquire what will not last, yet spend so little effort laying hold of what will last forever?

The minor prophet Haggai preached to a discouraged people.  The prophet called them to quit chasing after temporary and fleeting desires and to cultivate and build on an eternal desire — the desired of all nations, the coming Lord Jesus Christ.   What is the object of your desire this season?  Is it truly the “desired of all nations?”  Join Pastor Wheeler as he examines this beautiful and timely word from the Lord call us to make Christ our most desired gift.
