Return to His Love

January 4, 2026 • Nick Pierce • Malachi 1:1–5

Malachi opens with God’s assurance of steadfast love to a discouraged Israel, reminding them that His covenant faithfulness has never wavered even when their circumstances created doubt. Before correcting their worship and obedience, God calls them to return to Him by recognizing His electing grace, His blessings, and His unchanging love that anchors true devotion.

Return to His Worship

January 11, 2026 • Nick Pierce • Malachi 1:6–14, Malachi 2:1–9

God confronts His people for offering Him their leftovers instead of their hearts, exposing worship that had become weary, careless, and insincere. Yet even in His rebuke, God extends an invitation of restoration—calling us to return to Him with reverence, joy, and wholehearted worship through Jesus, our faithful High Priest.

Return to His Covenant Faithfulness

January 18, 2026 • Nick Pierce • Malachi 2:10–16

God calls His people to return to covenant faithfulness, reminding them that marriage is a sacred gift meant to reflect His own unwavering love and unity. When we treat covenant relationships lightly—whether through divided worship or unfaithfulness at home—we wound what God treasures and hinder our fellowship with Him.

Return to His Holiness

January 25, 2026 • Nick Pierce • Malachi 2:17, Malachi 3:1–5

Malachi confronts weary, cynical hearts by proclaiming that God’s justice arrives in the person of Jesus—the Messenger of the covenant—who satisfied divine justice at the cross and now refines His people by grace. He is not only the Savior who cleanses, but the coming King who will swiftly judge evil, calling all to repentance so they may know Him as merciful rather than merely just.

Return to His Generosity

February 1, 2026 • Nick Pierce • Malachi 3:6–12

In Malachi 3, God calls His people to return to Him through generosity, revealing that giving has always been an act of worship and trust rather than mere obligation. Rooted in grace and fulfilled in Christ, our giving today is a joyful response to God’s generosity, supporting His work, reflecting His heart, and declaring that He alone is our provider.

To Everyone Who Believes

March 8, 2026 • Nick Pierce

Paul writes to believers he longs to see, reminding them that gratitude fuels mission and that Gospel eagerness grows in hearts unashamed to trust God’s power rather than their own. Romans 1:8–17 declares that the Gospel reveals God’s saving righteousness for everyone who believes—calling us not only to be saved by faith, but to live boldly by faith in every place God sends us.

The Gift of the Gospel

March 1, 2026 • Romans 1:1–7

In Romans 1:1–7, Paul introduces the gift of the gospel—the good news promised in Scripture, centered on Jesus Christ, proven by His resurrection, and offered by grace to all who believe. This life-changing gift saves us from sin, brings us peace with God, and calls us into an obedient, faith-filled life that belongs wholly to Christ.

Return to His Promises

February 8, 2026 • Nick Pierce • Malachi 3:13–18, Malachi 4

In Malachi’s fiery closing words, God confronts the lie that serving Him is empty and promises to vindicate those who fear Him, gathering them as His treasured possession even when justice isn’t yet visible. The coming Day of the Lord won’t negotiate with rebellion—it will either burn away what’s false or set you free—so the real question is whether your hope is anchored in Jesus and your heart ready for His return.

Year of Fervence

February 15, 2026 • Nick Pierce • Romans 12:11

Rooted in Romans 12:11 and Hebrews 6:11–12, this initiative isn’t about programs but about a people burning bright in every direction with faith, passion, and purpose.
