Grace Bible Church Sermons

Speaker: Blake Jennings Scripture: Various Series: Attributes of God Series Order: 01 Do we really know God as He is? If so, are those beliefs merely theoretical, or have they been allowed to change the way that we live, the way that we worship, our attitudes, decisions, and even our emotions? Our study of the attributes of God intends to bring not only greater illumination to our minds, but also to transform us more and more into the very image of the God whom we worship.

Speaker: Blake Jennings Scripture: Malachi 2:17-4:6 Series: Ezra, Haggai, Nehemiah, Malachi Series Order: 28 Just like the Israelites in Malachi's day, we are often limited by short-sighted vision which sees life only as it is at this moment, when God is not yet judging sin or rewarding righteousness. And in that short-sightedness, sin becomes excusable and even reasonable. But in this passage, God corrects our vision so that we can see long-range as He does. God reminds us that His perfect and unbearable justice is coming to earth when Christ returns, and it will utterly destroy His enemies. And he reminds us that on that Day, He will reward our righteous deeds beyond our wildest dreams. So live everyday of this life in light of that Day when Christ returns.

Speaker: Brian Fisher Scripture: Malachi 2:10-16 Series: Ezra, Haggai, Nehemiah, Malachi Series Order: 26 Although God's people continued to go through the motions of worship, they were enjoying no intimacy with Him. Their practice of divorcing their Jewish wives and marrying wives who worshipped foreign gods had destroyed the genuineness of their worship. God called them to return to covenant faithfulness (both to their spouses and to Him) and the enjoyment of His blessings. PowerPoint Slides and notes available at www.grace-bible.org

Speaker: Brian Fisher Scripture: Malachi 2:1-9 Series: Ezra, Haggai, Nehemiah, Malachi Series Order: 25 Revelation 5:9-10 provides a vivid explanation is given for the significance of Jesus Christ's death. "And they sang a new song, saying, 'Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth.'" Priesthood is our calling and destiny. We were created and redeemed to represent God upon the earth. It is our greatest privilege. Malachi warned the priests of his day, and he warns us today, that we should not take God or this privilege lightly.

Speaker: Brian Fisher Scripture: Malachi 1:6-14; 3:8-12 Series: Ezra, Haggai, Nehemiah, Malachi Series Order: 24 God has demonstrated His commitment to Israel, but Israel's commitment to God is far less than what He deserves. By analogy, if they were to make similar overtures to earthly authorities, their actions would be rejected. So God reminds them exactly who He is - the God with whom they have a special relationship, the God who will be worshipped appropriately by all nations. It is our privilege to worship, and in worshipping appropriately to draw all nations to the Lord. PowerPoint Slides and notes available at www.grace-bible.org

Speaker: Brian Fisher Scripture: Malachi 1:1-5 Series: Ezra, Haggai, Nehemiah, Malachi Series Order: 23 We doubt God's love when we overlook our own responsibility, ignore the evidence of His love and fail to look beyond ourselves. PowerPoint Slides and notes available at www.grace-bible.org

Speaker: Blake Jennings Scripture: Malachi 1:1-5 Series: Ezra, Haggai, Nehemiah, Malachi Series Order: 23 When life gets tough, rather than doubting God's love, remind yourself that: it's our fault, not God's fault; God's unwavering love is proven in His election of us before time began; God has a greater purpose for us in this life.
