All Out With Malachi Screen 2 Malachi 3 - 4 November 18, 2018
Today we conclude our year-long study of the Old Testament. We began January 2018 with discussing Biblical characters/heroes of the faith - if you will - who were all in for God, from Adam and Eve, to their son, Abel. In August we flipped this around and began to speak of everyone who is ALL IN will also be ALL OUT for God all the way to the twelve minor prophets. Today we end with Malachi 3 - 4. I pray you have learned and enjoyed this me this year as much as I have preparing for our me together. Thanksgiving is this Thursday - it seems to come earlier this year for some reason. I am so thankful to God to get to be your pastor - you will never know what a blessing you have been to my family and me. We love you, too.
PRAY especially thanking God for all He has done for each of us . . . salva on/ marriage/children/family/friends/deliverance from enemies/neighbors/ministry - RBC. May we all be encouraged every me we gather together to worship, minister, etc. Lord, please ready us for your return (second coming). Amen
Thus far, we have discussed Malachi, wri en circa 420 BC, by the contemporary of Screen 3 Ezra/Nehemiah, who addresses the believing, though back-sliden remnant, by rebuking them for:
1. bringing polluted offerings (their second best to God) — the priests for offering them up, though they know they are not supposed to;
2. divorcing their wives of youth and marrying unbelievers/idolators (women). The priests and the people are guilty of great sin.
