Malachi: Teaching Series Preview

KEY POINTS

Malachi is a prophet speaking to the original audience of Israelites who have returned from exile and continue to struggle in faithfulness to Yahweh as they wait for the Messiah to come.
Malachi is written as a conversation between God and his people, and he challenges the Israelites on their corrupted leadership, half-hearted worship, and neglectful gifts, among other rebukes.
At our core, we are not different from the original audience of Malachi as we often get caught up in the motions of worship, feel distant from God, and wonder if he truly sees and loves us.
