Malachi 3:6–12 (ESV)
6 “For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.
7 From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. But you say, ‘How shall we return?’
8 Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In your tithes and contributions.
9 You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you.
10 Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.
11 I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil, and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear, says the Lord of hosts.
12 Then all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts.

A. Thought 1: The Lord’s Unchanging Nature (v. 6-7a) ⚓
Malachi 3:6–7 (ESV)
6 “For I the Lord do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.
7 From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them.
The justice of God is mingled with His love. ❤️⚖️
Last Wk: JUSTICE
JUSTICE = FEARFUL THING… 😨
WE DESIRE JUSTICE—FORGETTING WE ARE OFFENDERS!
Good News: the JUST GOD = ALSO MERCIFUL.
---------------------
Focus: REMEMBER,, LOVE = FOUNDATION of MALACHI’S CONFRONTATION…
B4 CONFRONTING LOUSY OFFERINGS
B4 CONFRONTING PRIEST’S FAILURES
B4 CONFRONTING SINFUL MARRIAGE PRACTICE & DIVORCE
B4 CALLING OUT PEOPLE ACCUSING GOD of INJUSTICE...
First Word from Malachi:
Malachi 1:2 (ESV)
2 “I have loved you,” says the Lord.
---------------------
Exhort: GOD’S DISCIPLINE = ROOTED in HIS LOVE
CONFRONTATION of PEOPLE = GOD’S MERCY
AMEND WAYS—RATHER THAN BE DESTROYED!
👉 GOD is JUST—HE is ALSO LOVING.
👉👉 HE is HOLY—HE is ALSO MERCIFUL.
---------------------
Immutability of God
Immutability of God
Good News: GOD is UNCHANGING
“IMMUTABILITY of GOD”
DOESN’T GET UPGRADED—CHANGE HIS MIND…
---------------------
C.C:. WE ALL CHANGE…
OVER TIME TASTES CHANGE:
FOOD
MUSIC
HOBBIES
CHANGE CAREERS
SOMETIMES— because—INTRODUCED to SOMETHING NEW…
NEVER TRIED BLANK BEFORE…
---------------------
GOD is UNCHANGING
Exhort: NEVER INTRODUCED to SOMETHING NEW!😮
ALL-KNOWING, OMNISCIENT GOD
OMNIPRESENT GOD
BEGINNING & END—ALPHA & OMEGA
GOD = NEVER INTRODUCED to NEW — OPINIONS ARE SETTLED…
GENESIS to REVELATION—GOD,,, IN HIS NATURE,,, DOES NOT CHANGE!
------------------------------------------
(V6.b) HAS NOT CHANGED—THEY HAVE NOT PERISHED.
THEIR EXISTENCE = OWED to GOD’S MERCY
---------------------
(V7.a) BECAUSE---THEY CONSISTENTLY GO ASTRAY!
FROM DAYS of MOSES UNTO PRESENT— FAILED.
REBELLING in WILDERNESS:
GOLDEN CALF
CONTINUAL COMPLAINING
PROMISED LAND:
WORSHIPING OTHER gods
FAILING in GOD’S MORAL STATUTES
RESULTED in CAPTIVITY...
---------------------
IF WE WERE GOD—THEY’D HAVE BEEN GONERS— RIGHT???
HOW MANY “I’M RUNNING OUT of PATIENCE??”
GOD NEVER RUNS OUT
---------------------
IT WAS MERCY THAT PRESERVED THEM…
Lamentations 3:22–23 (ESV)
22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end;
23 they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
WATCHING the CITY BURN!! — GOD’S LOVE = UNENDING,, MERCIES NEVER END…
♾️THANKFUL—GOD of INEXHAUSTIBLE MERCY!♾️

Return to me, and I will return to you. 🤝
Malachi 3:7 (ESV)
7b Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts.
DOESN’T THIS SCREAM MERCY??
GOD ALWAYS TOOK THEM BACK. 👀
PEOPLE FAITHLESS—GOD is FAITHFUL.
DOOR = ALWAYS OPEN
SEAT @ TABLE.
---------------------
C.C. MAYBE HERE,, & WANDERED…
FIRST SUNDAY in a WHILE
HERE EVERY WEEK—LIFE ISN’T RIGHT
GOD = GOD of MERCY— ACCEPTS the REPENTANT SINNER
📌📌GOD DOESN’T FORBID U-TURNS—HE DELIGHTS in THEM!📌📌

Transition: TO RETURN— MUST FIRST REALIZE— YOU’VE GONE ASTRAY…
LOOK W/ ME @ VS. 7-9

🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢
C. Thought 3: Divine Robbery (v. 7c-9) ⚠️
C. Thought 3: Divine Robbery (v. 7c-9) ⚠️
Malachi 3:7–9 (ESV)
7c But you say, ‘How shall we return?’
8 Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In your tithes and contributions.
9 You are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing me, the whole nation of you.
THEY RETURN to GOD—HE RETURNS to THEM…
Problem: THEY PRETEND INNOCENCE…
Malachi 3:7 (NLT)
7c “But you ask, ‘How can we return when we have never gone away?’
Problem: PEOPLE ROBBING GOD! (TITHES & CONTRIBUTIONS)
------------------------------------------
Background: Tithing
Background: Tithing
O.T. STIPULATION— ISRAEL GAVE TITHE—LITERALLY MEANS 10TH— to STOREHOUSE
SEED, FRUIT, ANIMALS, ETC.
Leviticus 27:30–33 (ESV)
30 “Every tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the trees, is the Lord’s; it is holy to the Lord.
31 If a man wishes to redeem some of his tithe, he shall add a fifth to it.
32 And every tithe of herds and flocks, every tenth animal of all that pass under the herdsman’s staff, shall be holy to the Lord.
ROUTINE—ADDED UP to AROUND 23% BETWEEN DIFFERENT THINGS…
Focus: NO TAX SYSTEM in ISRAEL—THIS PROVIDED for PRIESTS & POOR.
Numbers 18:21 (ESV)
21 “To the Levites I have given every tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service that they do, their service in the tent of meeting,
TITHE = REQUIRED of GOD’S PEOPLE…
------------------------------------------
Back to Malachi:
Back to Malachi:
REFUSAL to TITHE = ACT of ROBBING GOD! HOW???💰
Biblical Worldview: GOD OWNS EVERYTHING!
CHRISTIAN — STEWARDSHIP
WE MANAGE GOD’S BLESSINGS…
AT the END of the DAY— CREATOR— OWNS 100 PERCENT— ENTITLED to ALL of EVERYTHING!
REFUSAL to CONTRIBUTE — COSMIC ROBBERY!
------------------------------------------
N.T. BELIEVER & MONEY
N.T. BELIEVER & MONEY
PEOPLE HATE TALKING MONEY— PROBABLY LEAST FAVORITE TOPIC
Quote, Scholar, “We may not like to talk about money, but money talks a lot about us.”
Matthew 6:19–21 (ESV)
19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal,
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
YOUR HEART FOLLOWS WHAT YOU TREASURE—
---------------------
LEARN ABOUT PEOPLE BY THEIR SPENDING HABITS…
SOME CAN’T IMAGINE.... SPENDING $100 at a RESTAURANT
OTHERS CAN’T IMAGINE.... SPENDING $100 on SHOES…
WHAT YOU TRULY LOVE—YOU DON’T MIND SPENDING MONEY ON…
… DON’T THINK TWICE. 💡
ME—RUNNING SHOES,,
GUITAR STUFF, ETC.??
---------------------
Takeaway: MONEY = TIED to the HEART
Problem: MALACHI’S DAY— SICK, BLIND, LAME ANIMALS— SHOWED LOW ESTEEM for GOD…
Irony: MONEY TALKS in CHURCH MAKE PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE—
— BUT LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE TAKES MONEY…
… THEY EVEN ASK YOU to TIP on YOUR COFFEE/SANDWICH NOW…
************
Transition: **ANOTHER QUESTION**
WHAT DOES THIS LOOK LIKE for N.T. BELIEVER?
IS N.T. BELIEVER STILL EXPECTED to TITHE 10%?
🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢 --- 20 minutes left---🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢
🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢
D. New Covenant Believers & Tithing ✝️
D. New Covenant Believers & Tithing ✝️
BELIEVE SCRIPTURE TEACHES: N.T. BELIEVERS = STILL EXPECTED to BE FINANCIAL GIVERS—
— BUT 10 PERCENT RULE DOESN’T APPLY to CHRISTIANS…
---------------------
Background: CHRIST = FULFILLMENT of O.T. LAW.
Romans 10:4 (ESV)
4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
TITHE = MANDATED for ISRAEL,, COVENANT PEOPLE of GOD— for PRIESTS & POOR…
👉 WE WEAR MIXED CLOTHING
👉 WE EAT BACON
LEVITICAL SYSTEM = FULFILLED in JESUS CHRIST.
---------------------
BIBLE STUDY = DONE IMPROPERLY if WE IGNORE the CROSS in O.T. INTERPRETATION… 💡
**UNDER a DIFFERENT COVENANT**
Qualifier: THAT DOESN’T MEAN O.T. = IRRELEVANT,,
,, OR THAT GOD NO LONGER CARES ABOUT HOW WE LIVE
Focus: WE JUST INTERPRET O.T. in LIGHT of NEW… 🔑
---------------------
Clarification: FINANCIAL GENEROSITY = STILL EXPECTATION of CHRISTIAN 🤲
WHAT DOES GIVING LOOK LIKE in N.T.??
MANY CHURCHES TEACH TITHING— BILLS NEED to BE PAID…
NO N.T. PASSAGE UPHOLDS TITHING… PAUL WOULD HAVE PUT THAT in 1-2 CORINTHIANS in TALKS on GIVING — ESP. TALKING to GENTILES!!
ABRAHAM’S GIFT to MELCHIZEDEK PRECEDED LAW—
BUT WAS ONE-TIME
& OF WAR SPOILS—NOT ALL HE HAD…
IN ACTS—PEOPLE GAVE FAR MORE!
------------------------------------------
Principles of Christian Generosity:
Principles of Christian Generosity:
SEEMS—SHOULD BE REGULAR (1 COR. 16:2)
1 Corinthians 16:2 (ESV)
2 On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper, so that there will be no collecting when I come.
2. MOST IMPORTANTLY—GIVING SHOULD BE DONE CHEERFULLY,,, NOT UNDER COMPULSION.
2 Corinthians 9:6–8 (ESV)
6 The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.
3. GIVING SHOULD BE DONE in FAITH
UNDERSTANDING GOD = PROVIDER of ALL
Philippians 4:19 (ESV)
19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
4. GIVING SHOULD SUPPORT GOSPEL MINISTERS—LIKE it SUPPORTED O.T. PRIESTHOOD
PARALLEL DOES STAND SOMEWHAT
1 Corinthians 9:14 (ESV)
14 In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.
WE AREN’T GETTING RICH—WE SIMPLY HAVE BILLS to PAY as CHURCH & I DO TOO.
---------------------
Takeaway: 10 PERCENT is NOT a RULE. 💥
FOR SOME IT WOULD BE SUFFOCATING
FOR SOME IT’S HARDLY a SACRIFICE—LAVISH W/ 90%
CONSIDER WOMAN GIVING 2 PENNIES—GREATEST GIVER in JESUS’ EYES…
SHOULD GIVE—YES.
GIVE GENEROUSLY, in FAITH—YES.
GIVE CHEERFULLY.
NOT OUT of OBLIGATION.

Transition: PEOPLE = CALLED to RESPOND

E. Thought 4: Call to Repentance & Promised Blessings (v. 10-12) 🌧️
E. Thought 4: Call to Repentance & Promised Blessings (v. 10-12) 🌧️
Malachi 3:10–12 (ESV)
10 Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.
11 I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it will not destroy the fruits of your soil, and your vine in the field shall not fail to bear, says the Lord of hosts.
12 Then all nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of delight, says the Lord of hosts.
GOD CALLS PEOPLE to RETURN— SPECIFIC AREA of GIVING
REPENTANCE = NOT JUST an IDEA—BUT an ACTION
REPENTANCE = SAY SORRY & CHANGE.
---------------------
GOOD NEWS: PEOPLE BRING THEIR TITHE—GOD WOULD RESPOND & BRING BLESSING on LAND.
---------------------
Clarification: R.O.I. SHOULDN’T BE in MIND WHEN GIVING.
$20 in OFFERING PLATE—DOESN’T MEAN $100 in PARKING LOT.
Exhort: WE DON’T GIVE— TO TWIST GOD’S ARM.
---------------------
GIVING = IN FAITH—TRUSTING GOD as PROVIDER.
PEOPLE GIVE THEIR 10%
GOD OPENS HEAVENLY STOREHOUSES—GIVES 100%
REMEMBER—AGRARIAN SOCIETY DEPENDED UPON RAIN & CROPS!
---------------------
Conclusion: GOD WOULD SUPPLY— “UNTIL THEY HAD NO MORE NEED”
JESUS:
Matthew 6:33–34 (ESV)
33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
YOU WORRY ABOUT GOD—HE’LL WORRY ABOUT YOU.
Philippians 4:19 (ESV)
19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
GOD PROMISES to MEET NEEDS—NOT WANTS.
---------------------
GOD CAN DO MORE W/ LEFTOVERS THAN YOU CAN DO W/ START…
Testimony: GIVING DURING SEMINARY
MADE APPROX. $$35K a YR.
FIXING UP HOUSE
PAYING for PROGRAM— $23K
WE HAD ENOUGH MONEY—CASH-FLOWED PROGRAM—GAVE to CHURCH, ETC.
---------------------
GOD = KIND, GENEROUS GOD… CARES for US…

V. The Gospel Connection: The Ultimate Generosity
V. The Gospel Connection: The Ultimate Generosity
GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN—FOREVER WILL BE...... a GOD of GRACE & MERCY
HIS PEOPLE ALWAYS FAILED
HE WAS ALWAYS FAITHFUL.
WHOLE REASON for SACRIFICIAL SYSTEM & PRIESTHOOD—ATONING for SINS of PEOPLE.
Hebrews 9:22 (ESV)
22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
JUST GOD CAN’T LET SINNERS OFF the HOOK
LOVING GOD WANTS TO.
RECONCILED THROUGH a SUBSTITUTE.
---------------------
ULTIMATELY FULFILLED in JESUS CHRIST—HEAVEN’S BEST.
again— GOD = GOD WHO GIVES 100 PERCENT! HE is GENEROUS....
---------------------
SCRIPTURE,,, AGAIN & AGAIN,, PRESENTS a PICTURE of an UNCHANGING—MERCIFUL GOD…
=> IF WE WOULD RETURN— HE IS RIGHT THERE…
PRODIGAL SON— the FATHER RUNS
---------------------
HERE— APART from CHRIST— MUST FIRST RECOGNIZE YOU’RE LOST B4 CAN BE FOUND
GOOD NEWS—NO SIN TOO GREAT
CONSEQUENCES of SINS LAID UPON JESUS CHRIST—OUR SUBSTITUTE…
IF WE WOULD MERELY TURN to HIM in FAITH
---------------------
Romans 10:9–10 (ESV)
9 if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
Invitation: HERE W/ QUESTIONS— WITHOUT ASSURANCE— TALK to ME AFTER SERVICE...

VII. Conclusion & Application ✅
VII. Conclusion & Application ✅
Passage Idea:
Passage Idea:
God’s people should respond to their generous God with generosity.
LET US NEVER BELIEVE THAT GOD = STINGY…
HE GAVE US HIS BEST
HE is GOOD
WHOLE CHRISTIAN LIFE = RESPONDING to HIS GRACE & KINDNESS in CHRIST 👣
---------------------
IF YOU’RE a BELIEVER—THINKING THAT MONEY = OFF-LIMITS…
Quote, R.C. Sproul: Jesus is either Lord of all or He’s not Lord at all. 👑
INCLUDING POCKET-BOOK…
PART of MY DISCIPLESHIP UNDER JESUS = WHAT I DO W/ MY MONEY.
---------------------
PRACTICALLY WHAT’S THIS LOOK LIKE?
ALL of US SHOULD BE FINANCIALLY GENEROUS—AGAIN—I NEVER PREACH WHAT I DON’T DO MYSELF.
HOW MUCH?
N.T. DOESN’T SAY....
---------------------
IDEAS to CONSIDER:
Exhort: AGAIN—MATTER of the HEART:
WHAT FEELS APPROPRIATE for the GOD WHO GAVE ALL FOR YOU?
BOOK of ACTS—NOT MEASURING OFFERINGS—SELLING PROPERTY & GIVING EVERYTHING
NOT NORMATIVE—BUT an EXAMPLE THAT WE CAN LOOK TO.
WHAT MAKES YOU a BIT UNCOMFORTABLE? — WOULD YOU TRUST GOD?
WHAT CAN YOU GIVE CHEERFULLY?
GOD WANTS — YOUR HEART MORE THAN YOUR MONEY—
BUT HE CAN’T FULLY HAVE HEART IF ANYTHING = OFF-LIMITS
WHERE TREASURE IS—THERE HEART IS…
------------------------------------------
Conclusion:
Conclusion:
WE SHOULD ALL COUNT it a PRIVILEGE to CONTRIBUTE...
… to WHAT GOD is DOING in & through our CHURCH. AMEN?
!! Close in Prayer !!
