Malachi
Irreplaceable
Promises are easier to make than to keep, and that includes the covenant promise of marriage. Malachi’s call in this passage is to faithfully guard your spirit in marriage. We’ll look at what faithfulness looks like in who you marry, and what it looks like in how you’re married.
World’s Best Deity
What kind of gift is service is good enough for God? Will he accept the best we can do right now, the leftovers, and the “just-good-enough”? Malachi 1:6-2:9 shows us that half-hearted service of God is worse than nothing. We’ll look at half-hearted worship of God and then at half-hearted service to God’s people.
It’s Not Fair!
Does God really love us? How do we know? This is the first question posed by the people of Israel in the book of Malachi, and God’s answer is an emphatic, “yes!”. God has loved you more than you deserve, and you know that more clearly when you see the judgment you deserve. And when you see that, you can begin to give God the glory he deserves.
