MALACHI: REKINDLING THE FIRES OF FAITH

Pastor's New Sermon Series Begins September 28th

What happens when the flames of faith burn low, sputter, and seem to be on the verge of being blown out by the winds of contempt and cynicism? God raises up a spokesman to call His people back to renewed faithfulness to Him. Malachi was such a spokesman for his time, and our time. Malachi – “God’s messenger” – ministered in perhaps the most difficult period of the nation’s history: a time of waiting for God’s promises to be fulfilled. Many people doubted that God cared or would act on their behalf. Malachi showed his people that what was needed was to rekindle the fires of faith that almost had gone out. Among the areas that Malachi addressed were worship, divorce, the day of the Lord, ethical living, stewardship, and God’s righteous remnant.


Malachi is a timely book for today. Beginning this Sunday, September 28th, I will be sharing a series of messages from the book of Malachi. “Rekindling the Fires of Faith” is designed to help us as a church focus on four important areas of faith.
