The Day of the Lord: Malachi 3:13-4:6 | 5 Devotions on Repentance, Renewal, and Righteousness
These five devotions are drawn from the sermon on Malachi 3:13–4:6, a passage that reminds us that the Lord sees, remembers, and distinguishes between the faithful and the wicked. Through promises of coming justice and images of springtime joy, God invites His people to return to Him—not in shame, but in grace. Whether you feel weary from the apparent success of the wicked or distant from God because of your own distractions, this short series will help reorient your heart to the hope found in Christ. Take time each day to hear His call, to reflect on His Word, and to rejoice in the mercy of the Sun of Righteousness who rises with healing in His wings.

The Day of the Lord: Malachi 3:13-4:6 | Light Breaking Through the Darkness
Is it really worth it to follow God when the wicked seem to win? In this powerful and hope-filled conclusion to the book of Malachi, we see that God is not blind to injustice nor forgetful of faithfulness. He promises that the Day of the Lord is coming—a day when the arrogant will face judgment, and the faithful will leap like calves set free.
The same God who calls His people to remember and return also provides the mercy we so desperately need in Jesus Christ. This sermon unpacks the final words of the Old Testament, showing us how the story points forward to Christ, the true Sun of Righteousness, who brings healing in His wings.

Test and See His Provision: Malachi 3:6-12 | Experiencing God's Overflowing Grace
Are you living as if God's blessings might run out? In "Test and See His Provision," Pastor Mark guides us through Malachi 3:6–12, reminding us that God is faithful even when we're not. This sermon encourages us to examine our hearts, highlighting that true obedience and generosity flow naturally from gratitude for God's overwhelming grace.
In this message, you'll learn that God doesn't leave His people stuck in their mistakes. Instead, He graciously invites them—and us—to return to Him, promising blessings beyond our imagination. These promises are ultimately fulfilled in Christ, who has richly blessed us through His life, death, and resurrection. Our response to this profound generosity should be joyful stewardship of our whole lives.

The Coming Refiner: Malachi 2:17-3:5 | When Justice Feels Delayed
Have you ever wondered why evil seems to prosper while faithfulness often goes unnoticed? In this sermon, Pastor Mark explores Malachi 2:17-3:5, where God’s people questioned His justice and demanded answers. But instead of immediate judgment, God responds with something unexpected: a refining fire and cleansing soap meant to purify His covenant people.

Worship Without Compromise: Malachi 1:6-2:9 | True Worship Begins with the Heart
Have you ever found yourself going through the motions in your worship? In Malachi 1:6–2:9, God confronts the priests for offering defiled sacrifices and leading His people into complacency. They weren’t outright rejecting God, but they were cutting corners, treating worship as a burden rather than a privilege. Their compromise wasn’t just personal—it was leading an entire nation astray. In this sermon, we explore what it means to worship God without compromise. True worship is not about empty rituals; it is about honoring God with sincerity, reverence, and truth.
