Not much is known about the prophet Malachi, (whose name means “my messenger”), but contextual clues suggest that this was written after the exile had ended. Enthusiasm for right worship of God had waned, and Malachi exhorts the priests to honor the Lord. Uniquely, Malachi presents his prophesy using a conversational pattern between the priests and the Lord God, wherein God makes a claim, the priests respond by asking questions, and subsequently the Lord answers. This book is a mixture of indictment and hope, pointing those who are indifferent to God's ordinances to worship rightly while encouraging the faithful to stay the course and receive the Lord's favor.Malachi 1 - 1:12 .

Pastor Mike Dahl brings a message from Isaiah 61, the same passage Jesus read announcing the beginning of his ministry—bringing good news to the poor, freeing captives, binding up the broken-hearted, and proclaiming the year of the Lord's favor.
Jesus Christ invites us to trade the ashes of our broken lives for the beauty of eternal joy with him.
Nathan Cory from YWAM Brisbane preached on The Gospel of the Kingdom speaking out of Isaiah 61:1-3.
In this stirring and deeply encouraging Advent message, Pastor Karl continues the series The King Has Come with a raw and life-giving exploration of the second great gift Jesus brings: peace.Turning to the familiar yet profound scene in Luke 2:8–20, Pastor Karl invites us into the midnight terror of ordinary shepherds—suddenly confronted by the blinding glory of God—and shows how the very first words from heaven that night were not “Merry Christmas,” but “Fear not.” That first Christmas did not begin with sentimental calm; it began with paralyzing, mega-fear. And right there, in the middle of stacked-on-stacked fear, the angel announced good news of great joy: a Savior has been born who is Christ the Lord, the Prince of Peace.With pastoral tenderness and unflinching honesty, Pastor Karl unmasks fear as the mortal enemy of peace—how it magnifies threats, shrinks our view of God, and paints our future in colors darker than God ever intended. Yet the gospel is stronger: peace is not the absence of trouble but the presence of a Person. Peace is not something Jesus gives; peace is who Jesus is—and He gives Himself.Through the shepherds' journey from terror to testimony, we're given clear, scriptural paths out of fear and into the unshakable peace of Christ: speaking God's truth over fear's lies, refusing to agree with the spirit of fear, drawing near to Jesus through spiritual disciplines, and taking bold steps of obedience that move us against comfort and toward surrender.This is a word for everyone whose heart has been ruled by anxiety, worst-case scenarios, or the quiet fears that steal joy—especially in this season. A tender yet urgent call to stop trusting the unknown future to our own control and start trusting it to the known God who entered our fear as a baby in a manger.Because the King has come, fear does not get the final word. Peace does. And when the Prince of Peace takes over a life, what spills out is no longer fear—but praise, testimony, and unshakable confidence in the goodness of God.Essential listening for anyone who longs to trade fear for the peace that passes all understanding this Christmas.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm
In this teaching, we dive into the life-changing message of Isaiah 61 and explore what it truly means to live as people anointed, restored, and empowered by God. Jesus declared this passage fulfilled when He announced that the Kingdom of God had arrived—not as a distant hope, but as a present reality breaking into the world through Him and now through us. We look at how the gospel is not merely an escape plan but an invitation to bring heaven to earth, carrying healing, freedom, and restoration wherever we go. You'll be encouraged to lay down false identities, reject the lies of the enemy, and embrace the truth of who you are in Christ: an oak of righteousness, a priest of the Lord, and a carrier of the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead. This teaching invites you to remember who you are and step with boldness into the calling and authority God has given you.

"…to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated…"

The month of November is the time for our Care Campaign and in this powerful message from Isaiah 61, Tim unpacks the good news of Jesus - the one who binds up the brokenhearted, lifts the poor, and restores devastated lives. We explore how Christ's mission becomes our mission through the Holy Spirit, and how the church is called to reflect His compassion in practical ways.
We could easily read Isaiah's message of hope as singularly directed to ourselves and our individual moment. However, gaining a clearer picture of how Isaiah offered his prophecies and how they may have been received broadens the possibility of our hope.
The sermon centres on the essential truth that salvation is not achieved through human effort or self-righteousness, but is a divine gift of righteousness and joy received through faith in Christ alone. Drawing from the parable of the wedding feast in Matthew 22 and the imagery of garments in Isaiah 61, it emphasizes that the wedding garment—symbolizing the righteousness of Christ—is not earned but divinely provided, covering the sinner's guilt and corruption. The sermon underscores that human attempts to clothe oneself in moral achievement or religious performance (the 'fig leaves' of self-effort) are insufficient before a holy God, and only the blood-stained, seamless robe of Christ, purchased through His sacrificial death, can secure eternal acceptance. This garment brings not only forgiveness and cleansing but also deep, soul-level joy rooted in a personal relationship with God, assuring believers that nothing—neither loss nor suffering—can separate them from the love of God in Christ. Ultimately, the gospel is presented as the power of God for salvation, revealing His righteousness and calling all to come, not in their own garments, but in the perfect covering of Christ, so that they may be prepared for the eternal marriage supper of the Lamb.
The Servant came to bring good news for the poor. Jesus came for the poor, the needy and the wanting and longs to use us to reach his lost sheep.

Isaiah 61, The Annointed Servant, His Mission, and Its Effect - Ken Rucker - 9-21-2025 by NewBranch
Series: Mission Month Speaker: Sam Simanjuntak Sermon points: The Messiah's Mission is about: 1. A new Era 2. A new Job 3. A new Future
This week's sermon highlighted that priests, followers of Jesus, aren't simply spectators or dreamers. True priests let their hearts be moved by the world's brokenness, and step into that brokenness with action. Through the stories of Nehemiah and the prophecy of Isaiah, we see that God's people are called to: feel a “holy burden” for the ruins around them, step into those ruins with hope, persevere through opposition, and build for generations to come.Support the show
