The Book of Malachi, Part 14: Despising the Service of God I (Mal. 3:17-4:6)

Summary

The sermon explores the final chapters of Malachi, emphasizing the people's despising of God's service and the doctrines of grace, particularly election and God's everlasting love. The preacher reflects on the 400-year silence between Malachi and Christ's birth, affirming that God's word given then was sufficient for salvation. The message encourages believers to discern between the righteous and the wicked, to rely on God's grace rather than works, and to cherish fellowship among the faithful. It concludes with a call to remain grounded in Scripture and the truth of God's sovereign grace.
