Malachi burst into the scene at a time when the people seemed preoccupied, apathetic, distracted and wondering if following God made any sense. He did the same for us last weekend as we dove into this little book with a big message. He challenged us and got us energized to move from apathetic faith to a life of vibrant commitment to God. This weekend, we’ll hang out with Malachi some more and hear his call to live as covenant people in all aspects of our lives. The prophet casts a compelling vision for an abundant life. But vision alone is never enough. So he gives the people a fantastic call to action meant to transform the amazing vision of a fully committed life to God into a beautiful reality. Don’t miss this week! And remember, it only takes about eleven minutes to (slowly) read through the book of Malachi. Do it this week – some day when we are all on the other side of eternity, you will thank me for making you do this!
