This weekend I will be preaching at the main campus of Crossroads Church in Oakdale, PA. We will be in part three of the Revealed Series as we look at what the Prophets said about the coming Jesus. Here are a couple of my quick thoughts as I prepare for this weekend.
· The Lord loves you more than you can ever imagine. He is always faithful to you even when you are not. (Malachi 1)
· The Lord is sovereign over all. Both the good and the bad of this world. He is just. Just more patient than us and has a far greater perspective (Malachi 1)
· Offer your best to the lord everyday. (Malachi 1)
· Who gets the best of you? (Malachi 1)
· Giving to the Lord is a blessing not a burden. (Malachi 1)
· Priests and pastors are held to a higher standard of integrity. God has trusted you with much and others trust your instruction. Do not betray this trust. (Malachi 2)
· The only way for us to understand the love of God is to compare it to the most intimate relationship we know. Marriage. It is with this kind of trust and desire that the Lord loves you. (Malachi 2)
· When we turn away from Him it feels like unfaithfulness to the Lord. It hurts Him. (Malachi 2)
· Return to Him. Return to the wife of your youth. (Malachi 2)
· Be careful when asking the Lord for justice. We all live in his grace. (Malachi 2)
· The Lord Reveals his plan: He will send one to save us (Malachi 2)
· The one will refine his people. (Malachi 3)
· The one will clean them. (Malachi 3)
· The one will bring justice (Malachi 3)
· The Lord has not change. He was, He is, and He forever will be. He is the faithful one. (Malachi 3)
· Return to Him and He will return to you. (Malachi 3)
· Trust in the Lord more than you trust in yourself. Return to Him. (Malachi 3)
· Justice will come. (Malachi 4)
