    God does not want us to be apathetic when it comes to adoring Him. He would rather have no worship at all than for us to come with paltry praise.

    Giving God Your Best After listening restlessly to a long and tedious sermon, a 6-year-old boy asked his father what the preacher did the rest of the week. “Oh, he’s a very busy man,” the father replied. “He takes care of church business, visits the sick, works on his sermon, counsels people…and ...read more

    Let me ask you a question: How much is your God worth? Is He worth your first, your best, or only your castoffs? If you are giving Him only your castoffs, then you do in fact despise Him.

    TEXT: Malachi 1:6-9 TITLE: IS GOD WORTH YOUR BEST? The Judeans had gotten to the point of despising the lord. The word “despise” has a different connotation in Hebrew than in English. For the Hebrew it means simply “to consider something or someone worthless.” They are not worth the time to ...read more

    The priests and people of Judah had grown slack and queried God’s love and how they had Despised God’s Name, Defiled God’s Altar and Defrauded God’s Treasury.

    GOD’S LOVE - AND OUR RESPONSE Some people are never happier than when they’re having an argument - especially over religion! The people that Malachi was addressing fell into that category. The prophet had found it necessary to take issue with the people of Israel. He’d been inspired by the ...read more
