Is it really worth it to follow God when the wicked seem to win? In this powerful and hope-filled conclusion to the book of Malachi, we see that God is not blind to injustice nor forgetful of faithfulness. He promises that the Day of the Lord is coming—a day when the arrogant will face judgment, and the faithful will leap like calves set free. The same God who calls His people to remember and return also provides the mercy we so desperately need in Jesus Christ.This sermon unpacks the final words of the Old Testament, showing us how the story points forward to Christ, the true Sun of Righteousness, who brings healing in His wings.

Are you living as if God's blessings might run out? In "Test and See His Provision," Pastor Mark guides us through Malachi 3:6–12, reminding us that God is faithful even when we're not. This sermon encourages us to examine our hearts, highlighting that true obedience and generosity flow naturally from gratitude for God's overwhelming grace.In this message, you'll learn that God doesn't leave His people stuck in their mistakes. Instead, He graciously invites them—and us—to return to Him, promising blessings beyond our imagination. These promises are ultimately fulfilled in Christ, who has richly blessed us through His life, death, and resurrection. Our response to this profound generosity should be joyful stewardship of our whole lives.

Daily Dose of Hope March 10, 2025 Day 2 of Week 50 Scripture: Malachi 1-4; Psalm 2 ; Revelation 9 Welcome back, everyone, to the Daily Dose of Hope.  This is the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church Bible reading plan.    For our Old Testament reading, we are reading the book of Malachi, all four chapters.  Malachi is the very last book of the Old Testament, a really short book, yet it gets its point across.   Malachi is the Cliff Notes of the Old Testament. In these four short chapters, the author gives a brief summary of the whole Old Testament.  One of it's most famous verses, Malachi 3:7, in one verse, gives us a picture of the dynamics of the Old Testament.  God is basically saying, “Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” Your ancestors turned away from me, you have turned away from me. It's time to come back and let me bless you, let me love you, says the Lord. That's basically the whole Old Testament in a nutshell---keep in mind over and over again throughout the Old Testament (over hundreds of years), God's people would commit to following God and then fall away. Eventually, they were so rebellious that God lifts his hand of protection and allows the people of Israel and Judah to be conquered by other nations. We've read through all of that.   Malachi prophesied about 100 years after the Jews returned from exile in Babylon (400-450BC)  As we learned in Nehemiah, only a small portion of people returned to Jerusalem. They rebuilt the city, the temple, and the wall around the city. Yet, after living in exile for 70 years, the people were still corrupted by the pagan culture in which they lived. They were far from God. So, as we read over the past few weeks, Ezra and Nehemiah both had instituted reforms, the people had sincerely agreed to follow God. But within a generation, all the reforms, the promises the people had made were forgotten.   What's interesting is that the people were still going through the motions. They were externally religious–they went through the religious tasks that they were supposed to do but it was ALL about outward behavior. This is the period of time in which the Pharisees & Saducees came into being---there was this emphasis on outward religiosity, doing things which make it seem like you are a good religious person. But their hearts were far from God. And we know, what matters to God is not what's on the outside, it's not our religious busyness, but it's our heart.   Basically, the people are in no better place than before the exile. No matter how religious the people appear to be, their hearts are not right with God. They have allowed the things of the world, their own selfishness, their own distrust, to lead them a drift, seeking fulfillment in anything BUT God. Thus, God will do a new thing. As we read through chapters 3 and 4, we begin to see Malachi point to something that is to come. No rules or reforms will change the hearts of the people. Rules and reforms don't change our hearts. We don't need external changes. Rather, we need someone who will come into our own hearts and transform us from the inside out. We need a Savior, someone to draw us back to God and back to one another. We need Jesus. Malachi 3:1-2,“I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the Lord Almighty. But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he appears? For he will be like a refiner's fire or a launderer's soap. After the book of Malachi ends, 400 years pass before the people get another word from God. 400 years! These were called the silent years. But then, in God's perfect timing, God arrives on the scene in a new way, through the person of Jesus Christ AND Jesus picks up right where Malachi left off. In fact, Jesus' very first message to the people in Mark 1 was to “Repent.” Repent, the kingdom of God is here. Yes, your hearts aren't right with God. Yes, I know you are selfish, self-absorbed, distracted by the ways of the world, I know your heart through and through. Turn away from your ways and come back to me. Allow me to cleanse you, be the refining fire, to purge out all the impurities, all that's harmful, all that's led you astray.   Let's take a look at Revelation 9.  Things are beginning to get kind of hard. Let's do our best to unpack it. The fifth trumpet blows and a star falls from the sky. The star unlocks the key to the abyss. When the abyss is opened, all kinds of evil things come out of it. The people without the seal of God are forced to go through five months of torture at the hands of the scorpion-like locusts who have come from the abyss (five months is the life cycle of a locus). It's all very graphic and hard to take in.   A wider look at the battlefield reveals that the one who rules over these terrible demonic creatures is the king of the abyss, Apollyon. There is a lot of symbolism here that John's original listeners would have understood. The Greek name Apollyon means destroyer. It's very similar to the name Apollos, the Greek god who was the favorite of the emperor of the time, Domitian (who reigned from A.D. 81 to 96).In fact, the emperor so identified with Apollos that he often called himself the reincarnation of the deity.   Domitian was known for his reign of terror against both Jews and Christians. Just imagine, the original hearers of this text would have drawn immediate connections between the king of this abyss and their emperor, who was persecuting them relentlessly for their belief in Jesus. They would understand that while Domitian may be the source of persecution, the true source of suffering was Satan, the evil one, the one who reigns over the abyss. Just when we think it might be over, the author says that it isn't. The first woe has passed but there are more to come. Then ensues a wave of plagues. A third of humanity is killed and then another third. You would think this would be enough to scare the survivors into believing in Jesus. And yet, the Scripture says that they continue to be hardened. They don't stop their evil behavior but persist in resisting God.   Fear and terror have never been effective methods for leading people to a saving relationship with Jesus. That begs the question–how do we effectively point people to Jesus? People are not frightened into the Kingdom (we are stubborn people!), people are not shamed into the Kingdom, lectured into the Kingdom, or forced into the Kingdom in any way. People are loved into the Kingdom. And even then, they have the choice to say yes or no to God's free gift of grace.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Malachi had a message from God of both correction and hope for the people of Israel. They had become careless and negligent in their calling, and were stale in their faith. But God gives them a glimpse of the coming Messiah and his forebearer (John the Baptist) in this call back to a godly focus and life of faith.

Matthew Adams here, joining you on Day 16 of our spiritual journey. Today, we're unpacking a gem from Malachi, a verse that speaks to preparation, anticipation, and divine arrival. For those of us walking the path of spiritual warriors, these aren't just words; they're a call to action, a reminder of our role in a story much bigger than ourselves.Scripture: Malachi 3:1"'I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,' says the Lord Almighty." This promise from Malachi 3:1 sets the stage for an extraordinary divine intervention.This verse is a powerful prophecy about preparation and fulfillment. It talks about a messenger paving the way for the Lord's arrival. As spiritual warriors, we can draw parallels to our own lives – we are also called to prepare the way, not just for ourselves, but for others to encounter the divine. It's a role that demands diligence, faith, and a readiness to embrace the unexpected.My Reasons To Believe is a publication fueled by its readers' support. We're committed to serving you. Think about stepping up to Faith Partner. For a mere $5 a month, you can play a crucial role in keeping this ministry thriving. Stay blessed.Three Driving Points* Being God's Messenger in Today's World: The first part of the prophecy talks about sending a messenger. In today's context, this translates to us being God's messengers in a world that often seems disconnected from spiritual realities. Our role involves living out the truth, sharing God's love, and preparing others to encounter Him in their own lives.* The Power of Sudden Arrival: The phrase "then suddenly" suggests an unexpected, swift coming of the Lord. It's a reminder that God's interventions in our lives often come without warning.

Matthew Adams here, joining you on Day 16 of our spiritual journey. Today, we're unpacking a gem from Malachi, a verse that speaks to preparation, anticipation, and divine arrival. For those of us walking the path of spiritual warriors, these aren't just words; they're a call to action, a reminder of our role in a story much bigger than ourselves.Scripture: Malachi 3:1"'I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,' says the Lord Almighty." This promise from Malachi 3:1 sets the stage for an extraordinary divine intervention.This verse is a powerful prophecy about preparation and fulfillment. It talks about a messenger paving the way for the Lord's arrival. As spiritual warriors, we can draw parallels to our own lives – we are also called to prepare the way, not just for ourselves, but for others to encounter the divine. It's a role that demands diligence, faith, and a readiness to embrace the unexpected.My Reasons To Believe is a publication fueled by its readers' support. We're committed to serving you. Think about stepping up to Faith Partner. For a mere $5 a month, you can play a crucial role in keeping this ministry thriving. Stay blessed.Three Driving Points* Being God's Messenger in Today's World: The first part of the prophecy talks about sending a messenger. In today's context, this translates to us being God's messengers in a world that often seems disconnected from spiritual realities. Our role involves living out the truth, sharing God's love, and preparing others to encounter Him in their own lives.* The Power of Sudden Arrival: The phrase "then suddenly" suggests an unexpected, swift coming of the Lord. It's a reminder that God's interventions in our lives often come without warning. As spiritual warriors, we're called to live in a state of readiness, always prepared for God's sudden moves, be it in our lives or in the lives of those around us.* Desiring the Messenger of the Covenant: The reference to the “messenger of the covenant” points to a deep longing for a divine connection. In our journey, this longing translates to a constant pursuit of a deeper relationship with God. It's about nurturing our desire for spiritual growth and being open to the ways God chooses to reveal Himself to us.ConclusionMalachi 3:1 challenges us as spiritual warriors to be active participants in preparing the way for God's presence.

This episode 1 of “IS TITHING MANDATORY FOR THE NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH?” HERE ARE SOME SCRIPTURAL PASSAGES BELOW USED TO SUPPORT TITHING FOR CHRISTIANS Abraham voluntarily gave to the Priest Melchizedek, a tenth of what he had, but He was not commanded to do so by God, so if you use this Scripture to support tithing you are adding onto to the Scriptures to support your advocacy for tithing (Genesis 14:20). Jacob was trying to make a deal with God that if he would keep him safe and provide for him, he would voluntarily give God a tenth of what he had but no where do you find in this passage that God commanded Jacob to tithe a tenth so if you try to use this passage in an attempt to advocate tithing, you are using your own personal, private, and dogmatic interpretation of Scripture (Genesis 28:20-22). Many other Scriptures are taken out of context specifically in the book of Malachi where Pastors try to say you are robbing God if you don't tithe because the church is the storehouse. Sadly this is another twisting of Scripture (Malachi 3:10). The widow that gave all she had and put in the treasury is another Scripture that is taken out of context in order to get Church people to tithe. The widow gave all she had from her heart in a self-less, sacrificial, and contrite manner without any vanity, pride, or notoriety. Sadly many Pastors try to use this passage to advocate tithing of 10 percent or more (Matthew 12:24). Some other Scriptures that Pastors use to support tithing is found in the Old Covenant tithing system which (in most cases) to help the poor and support the priesthood with livestock, vegetables, fruits, etc not money (Numbers 18:20-21, Deuteronomy 12:17-18, Deuteronomy 14:28-29 #tithing #tithe #church #giving #money #jesus #christian #tithes #ministry #entrepreneur #faith #god #finances #prosperity #godisgood #healing #bible #worship #budgeting #saving #growth #empowering #spending #credit #enlightening #eachoneteachone #offerings #msfinanciale #educating #sowing --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/biblequestionsandanswers/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/biblequestionsandanswers/support

Welcome to the Love Where You Are podcast!  In today's episode I am joined by Jodie Berndt. Jodie is the bestselling author of the Praying the Scriptures series. A speaker and Bible teacher, Jodie has been featured on programs like Focus on the Family, The 700 Club and a host of popular podcasts, and she has written articles for many news and faith outlets. She is also the mom of four grown children with grandbabies on the way!  In today's episode Jodie and I dive deep into the challenges faced in marriage and the importance of prayer in every season. The enemy is hard at work seeking to destroy the family which means we need to be on our knees, fighting to safeguard what is sacred - our marriages.   Jodie offers encouragement through personal stories and shares practical ways we can love our spouses better and pray together to make our marriages stronger.  Thank you for being here today. Now, let's dive into the conversation!  You can connect with Jodie through Facebook, Instagram, and her website.  You can also order your copy of new book!    FAVORITE TAKE-AWAYS: -Common issues couples face are communication, conflict resolution or in-laws but the overarching deeper issue has to do with emotional and spiritual intimacy. Prayer helps in both those areas to deepen the intimacy, bringing partners together closer to God.  -When parents prioritize their children above their marriage, it can destroy the marriage. Research has shown kids with parents who prioritize the marriage are kids with more security and stability because they see that in their parents.  -It can be hard to pray when your spouse doesn't like praying or isn't a Christian, but that doesn't mean there isn't hope or no solutions! It just means you have to take a different approach. An approach that works for you and your spouse.    REMEMBER: -When you don't know what to do, turn to God who can do it. Remember, you don't have to fix it. Sometimes we have to give it to God.  -You are NEVER praying alone. The Holy Spirit is always there beside you; and no prayer is too big or too small for God. Give Him everything that's on your heart!  -Look for ways to serve your spouse. Sometimes it is kindness and selflessness which makes waves in a relationship.    SCRIPTURE:  Malachi 3:16  Connect with Somer!  JOIN THE LOVE WHERE YOU ARE CHALLENGE Stay connected to Somer and the Love Where You Are podcast through her Facebook & Instagram!

Every 35 seconds a divorce is finalized in America. Marriage rates today continue to decline to historic lows, and the institution of marriage seems inconsequential for younger adults. Is the centuries-old stigma of divorce still impactful? How does being a Christian influence our view of divorce?   Join us today as Pastor Tony continues his new sermon series: “Does the Bible do sex?” This week, he focuses on “Marriage and Divorce,” and what the Bible does and does not say about it. Exploring the inconsistencies found throughout the Bible concerning divorce, discover how we can look beyond the authoritative and antiquated power of scripture and evolve our ideology and beliefs to fit a modern 21st century perspective.   Recorded live at Beatitudes Church in Phoenix, AZ on 07/24/22  Preaching: Rev. Tony Minear, Ph.D. Scripture: Malachi 2:16; Deuteronomy 24; Mark 10:11-12; Matt 12:9 If you like what you hear, consider donating at:  https://beatitudeschurch.org/donate/

This morning, we celebrated the first week of Advent, with our scripture and message being focused on Hope. Brother Danny shared from Malachi chapter 3, which shows us that the foundation of our hope is in the promise found in this passage. We need to remember that God works to bring His plans and purposes to reality. No matter our perspective of timing, God’s plans will always come to fruition. When the time is right, the Lord will come. We need to be prepared for whenever that time may come. And, ultimately, He will bring cleansing to His people. He will not leave us in our sin. /// Scripture: Malachi 3:1-3 | Speaker: Bro. Danny Nance | Date Recorded: November 28th, 2021 | Running Time: 46:41
