The prophet had found it necessary to take issue with the people of Israel. He’d been inspired by the ...read more

    Our task is to reach the world around us for Jesus Christ

    Contributed by Dean Morgan on Sep 1, 2004
    based on 10 ratings
     | 4,892 views

    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
