“Your words against me are harsh,” says the LORD. Yet you ask, “What have we spoken against you? ” You have said, “It is useless to serve God. What have we gained by keeping his requirements and walking mournfully before the LORD of Armies? So now we consider the arrogant to be fortunate. Not only do those who commit wickedness prosper, they even test God and escape.” At that time those who feared the LORD spoke to one another. The LORD took notice and listened. So a book of remembrance was written before him for those who feared the LORD and had high regard for his name. “They will be mine,” says the LORD of Armies, “my own possession on the day I am preparing. I will have compassion on them as a man has compassion on his son who serves him. So you will again see the difference between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve him.

Somberly closing the Old Testament, Malachi shows that a thousand years after Sinai, unfaithfulness, greed, and injustice continue to plague God’s people. Moreover, Malachi’s ministry initiates centuries of prophetic silence. Despite the growing darkness, however, Malachi prophesies a coming messenger who would prepare the way of the Lord. Four hundred years later, a new era of redemption dawned when the cries of John the Baptist echoed in the wilderness.
In this plan, join Dave Cornes for an in-depth look at the book of Malachi. If you’re tired of going through the motions, discover what it means to live fully devoted to the God whose love for you is based on His promise, not your performance. Recover faithfulness in your relationships. Learn to practice justice and generosity. Amidst life’s struggles, embrace the extraordinary righteousness that is yours through Jesus.
