The unfaithfulness of God's people today shows up in many ways. The most obvious way is our of abandonment of God's commandments to live life on our own terms, doing that which we know is contrary to God's will, at least for a time.

Malachi charges the priests with faithlessness. They are told if they do not change their ways their line will end. Today the church is a kingdom of priests. We each have our priestly rolls to fulfill. We must follow Christ and present Him in our lives as He is.

The priests who were serving at the rebuilt Temple were not honoring God, therefore their sacrifices were not acceptable to God. We must learn the lesson is that since our lives are lived before the face of God and that all we do is be done to His glory, we need to have a higher view of His glory.

The coming of King Jesus is prophesied! Christmas is coming!

The people of God have returned to the promised land after 70 years of exile for their sin. The question now is, will God still accept our worship?

God first recognizes and acknowledges the disappointing appearance of the people's work but then gives them the encouragement not to look on externals for he can have as much external Glory as desired. finally, he tells them that the latter glory of his house will be greater than the former glory. God exhorts us not to look at the work of our hands for him through The eyes of Man, but through eyes of Faith. God is at work in the future is glorious.

We are called to take it up. In Ephesians 6:16, we see that the evil one has many fiery darts to use against us. This sermon looks at what are some of the fiery darts and how to protect against them.

The Christian believer must have a firm grasp of the Gospel of peace with God as a sure footing and as preparation for the spiritual battles ahead.

Paul calls believers to live a life which is different from non-believers. How? Why?

Christians should be zealous to maintain the unity of the Spirit.

Jesus gives spiritual gifts to His church in order to strengthen it. The Church is responsible for the stewardship of these gifts to build itself up in love.

We know that God can do anything, but what is he willing to do? God can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine. But we limit our prayers by doubting not God's power but His willingness.
