Malachi 11. There are a fair number of old-timers here! Do you remember the days before Sunday School songs were about eating Bart Simpson getting you to eat his shorts? They even had hymns written specifically for children. Do you recall the one that went: [P] “When He cometh when He cometh to make…

Malachi 6. We are back in the book of Malachi again [P], up to chapter 2 now! You may care to turn there in your Bibles. Last time I used this borrowed overview [P] to show where we had got up to. Verse 1 of chapter 1 was an introduction [P], then (v.2-5) was an oracle, a burden or a heavy message for…

Malachi 9. Can you turn to Malachi chapter 3? We have been looking through this prophecy all year now, let’s step back a moment and have a look at where we have come so far. [P] Malachi is the last word of יהוה to His people Israel before He was silent for over 400 years. He had been speaking continually…

Malachi 12. There is a verse that I reckon has got the human condition sussed! [P] [Isaiah 53:6 All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way.] It says it all! Everyone! [P] We ALL have turned to our own way! [P] That is rebellion! If there is authority, we have to challenge…

Malachi 8. [P] Now isn’t that a cute picture? – maybe it is just a father’s bias. But it is a photo with significance. There is Hannah, under the age of two, and what is she doing?

Malachi 3 Can we turn to Malachi chapter 1 please? [P] May I ask an audacious question? “Why are you here?”! I know that when I was a kid, it was because I was dragged along. I was forced to by my parents; it was boring and I would rather not be there. I am sure none of you are like that! But you can…

Malachi 5. Can we turn to Malachi chapter two please [P]. We have been looking through the book of Malachi – let’s have a look at what we’ve done and where we have got to. [P] This outline was done by someone else – so it’s not quite the way I would do it. It says verse 1 is introduction [P] – and the…

Malachi 2. [P] Can we turn to the book of Malachi. Last time I gave a bit of an introduction and overview to this, the last book in the Old Testament. It is יהוה’s final word to His people before a 400 year silence. [P] Read: [Malachi 1:1-5 An oracle. The word of יהוה to Israel through Malachi. (that…

Malachi 10. This morning let us pick up the book of Malachi once again. We are nearing the end of the prophecy, and it has been a pretty bleak picture. Israel who has been graciously been brought back from exile and back to her God, has once again drifted from Him. For sure, they are still going through…
