In this message, I walk us through one of the most direct and challenging questions God asks His people: “If I am a Father, where is the honor due me?”
Malachi’s audience hadn’t stopped worshipping—they were still showing up to the temple, still bringing offerings—but somewhere along the way, they lost their awe. They were giving God what was easy, what was left, and what was broken… and expecting Him to be pleased.
I share how this isn’t just an ancient problem—it’s a mirror for us today. Honor isn’t just vertical toward God; it’s also horizontal toward the people He’s placed in our lives. And when honor leaves the altar, it eventually leaves every other area of life.
This is a call to return to reverence, to give God our best, and to let that honor overflow into how we live, love, and serve.
