Malachi 2:1-17 // Why is it so difficult to wait? Often how we wait reveals what we really want, and Malachi 2 helps us to see the implications of wants that aren't in line with God's desires.

Healing In His Wings

December 18, 2022 • Ray Carter • Malachi 4

Malachi 4 // Jesus' second advent is coming. It will be a glorious day for those in Christ—a day of justice and new healing. To prepare for that day, we should listen and obey Jesus, the great fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets, and trust that God has turned our hearts towards him in order that we may turn in repentance.

The Day of the Lord

December 11, 2022 • Phil Barnes • Malachi 3

Malachi 3:1-18 // The coming day of the Lord, Christ's second Advent, will be terrible and awe inspiring, as God promises to purify and cleanse the world of unrighteousness like a refining fire or bleaching solution. But for those who turn to God in faith, the day of the Lord will be full of grace, a relief of suffering, a cleansing of sin, and a final positive answer to the question: "has God forgotten us"?

Am I Truly Loved?

November 27, 2022 • Drake Osborn • Malachi 1

Malachi 1:1-14 // We all have asked the question: "Am I Truly Loved"? To know the answer, we must trust the love of God—which means honoring him and worshiping him rightly, in awe of his sovereign grace for all nations.
