When God's promises feel stale and weak, remember that his love and power is shown in the fact that he speaks to us at all!
Malachi prophesied to the 4th generation since the city of Jerusalem and its temple were both rebuilt. The long-awaited Messiah (prophesied by Isaiah, Jeremiah, and others) was nowhere to be seen. God's promises were left unfulfilled, or so it seemed.
Malachi enters the scene and says "the great day of the LORD is coming! Beware, you who reject God! And be comforted, you who fear God!"
In this sermon for the penultimate Sunday of the Church Year, we'll see how Malachi's prophetic words were partially fulfilled in Jesus 2000 years ago --- and how that fulfillment will be completed on the day when Jesus returns again.
