When we look at the injustice of human trafficking, the #MeToo movement, racial prejudice and mass shootings, it feels like our world’s out of control. We wonder where God is. And if He’s seeing what we’re seeing, why isn’t He doing anything about it? Today’s passage looks at God’s plan to bring justice to our world.
Marriage is hard. Sometimes, it feels too hard. But the Bible shows us why it’s worthy fighting for and what’s at stake if we don’t.
Many people are outraged today at the scandals and abuses of priests, pastors and ministers. Today’s passage shows that God is even more outraged and lays out His plan to not only confront bad priests who misrepresent Him but also raise up a faithful people who will honour Him.
Worship is the first and primary area where God expects to see our response to His love. And yet we often bring Him worship leftovers. We give our devotion to the world and assume that God will be happy with a better-than-nothing offering of our lives. This message examines the anatomy of worship leftovers and God’s antidote to it.
Just as children starve emotionally when they fail to experience a parent’s love, people limp along spiritually when they don’t experience the love of God. But people often misread God’s expressions of love. If you’re expecting God to express His love in a particular way and He doesn’t, it can leave you feeling empty. This passage from Malachi shows us how God proves His love.
