The House of God or The God of the House

Nov 5, 2025    Pastor Jeremy Chism

In this episode of Committed to the Cause, Pastor Jeremy Chism of Bethany Baptist Church in Travelers Rest, South Carolina, opens 📖 Haggai chapter 2 to remind believers that God’s glory isn’t confined to structures—but revealed through His Spirit in surrendered hearts.

The people of Israel compared their rebuilt temple to Solomon’s grand house and grew discouraged, forgetting that true glory never came from gold or grandeur, but from God Himself. ✨ Pastor Chism challenges us not to focus on outward religion or appearances, but on the inner reality of walking with Christ daily. Whether serving full-time in ministry or faithfully living out our faith at work, our greatest calling is to magnify the God of the house more than the house of God.

Be strengthened today by the same promise God gave His people: “My Spirit remaineth among you—fear ye not.” 🙌
