The Inheritors – First Peter 1:3-5

Mar 3, 2022 | First Peter, Wednesday

Tonight I was going to go to Peter’s next major thought – “To an inheritance, incorruptible, and undefiled, and fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you.” But I’m going to postpone that, because in order to fully understand it, we need to take a step back. Before...

Remember – Malachi 4:1-6

Jan 13, 2022 | Wednesday

If you were to describe the conclusion of this book, would you say it was moving in an upward direction? Does it reach a conclusion, or does it simply stop? Would you say that these last verses excite you, or does is leave you hanging, wanting more? Does it end in a...

Ophthalmological Orthodoxy – Malachi 3:13-18

Jan 6, 2022 | Wednesday

One day, as the Lord Jesus came into the community of Bethsaida, a blind man was led up to Him by friends. Together they plead with the Lord for an ophthamolical miracle. You can read of this in Mark 8:22-26. Jesus listened to the request, and then He led the man out...

Staying Warm in a Cold, Cold World – Malachi 3:16-17

Dec 30, 2021 | Wednesday

It has been cold for a couple days, with the temperature dropping to below zero, and the wind has is blowing. Right now the world is a cruel place in which to live without something to keep us warm. There are legitimate concerns about people freezing to death. Despite...

Hephzibah – Malachi 3:8-12

Dec 23, 2021 | Wednesday

Why do people immigrate to the United States, or Canada, or anywhere else for that matter? There are hundreds, if not thousands, of reasons. When I checked into my motel in Winnipeg, the desk clerk was wearing a turban and speaking with an accent. He could have been...

Four Points of Prophecy – Malachi 3:1-6

Nov 25, 2021 | Wednesday

Four Points of Prophecy – Malachi 3:1-6 I’d like to take Brother Fulton’s message from Sunday and preach again it in my own words. It had the catchy title “This is That,” using Peter’s words in Acts 2, where he said to the Jews: “What you are seeing is that which was...

Divine Irony – Malachi 3:1

Nov 18, 2021 | Wednesday

Do you remember what the weather was like last Sunday? Were any of you thrown into the building with the door being violently pushed open by the 50 mph winds? Were you followed into the building by a handful of maple leaves from next door? Did anyone have their hair...

The Messenger of the Covenant – Malachi 3:1-6

Nov 11, 2021 | Wednesday

Let’s have a study about studying the Bible this evening. Our subject is actually “The Messenger of the Covenant.” But let’s use that to consider some of the ingredients in studying God’s Word. I rarely ever do this, but I’d like you to empty your minds for a few...

Where is the God of Judgment? – Malachi 2:17

Nov 4, 2021 | Wednesday

“Where is the God of Judgment?” There are two ways to understand this question; each depends on the context. It can be a somewhat positive question, uttered by people suffering or being mistreated. “Oh, God of judgment, where are you, and when will you step in to...

God’s Holiness Profaned – Malachi 2:11

Oct 7, 2021 | Wednesday

Years ago, when you were much younger, you spent five hours hiking up into the mountains. The trail was narrow and not very well used, but it took you over ridges and into valleys with such beauty that you kept pushing on. It was late in the day when you finally...

Praying for Grace – Malachi 1:8-9

Sep 2, 2021 | Wednesday

So Satan has once again come to you; this time through the portal of your conscience. For the umpteenth time you have committed that particular sin – that special weakness of yours. What was it? Pride over something you’ve done? Coveting something your neighbor has?...

Speaking Without Words – Malachi 1:6-14

Aug 26, 2021 | Wednesday

Let’s say that I did something to offend you, and, as every Christian should, I came and apologized. What should I think, if you put your hands on your hips; your eye-brows narrowed; you raised your voice; and you crisply said, “I forgive you?” Should I believe your...

The Lord will be Magnified – Malachi 1:3-5

Aug 19, 2021 | Wednesday

Much of the Book of Malachi compares and contrasts God’s blessings to Israel’s whining. For example, as we have seen, the Lord reminded the nation that He loved them. But Israel retorted, “Wherein hast thou loved us, Lord?” God answered, “Haven’t you seen the...

My Messenger – Malachi 1:1

Aug 12, 2021 | Wednesday

What do you think it would it be like, if you were the last servant of God on the face of the earth? It will never be, and it could never be, because God’s Word forbids it, but just think about it for a moment. If it was true, how would you feel? After you, never...
