If you were unable to join us last Sunday at 10:30am in-house, or at 6pm when we hosted ‘Church Online’ on our facebook Wellington City Corps or Wellington Citadel Band pages, you can have a recap of what we covered during our meeting by clicking on the video link below.
This week we continued our sermon series looking at the book of Malachi – exploring how our lives leave a lasting legacy for those that are watching us, regardless if we think they do or not. They will one way or another!
It would appear from a cursory scan of the book of Malachi that the Israelite people are being rebuked for their lax religious and social behaviour. Yet this is only part of the overall emphasis – as it shows God calling His people back to what they were supposed to be all about. Every one of us as God’s chosen people are called by Him to be an influence on the world around us.
Jesus began teaching this exact same concept in his earthly ministry when he told his disciples that he would make them fishers of men. As God’s chosen people, they possessed the Word of God, and were to be the salt and light in the world.
Therefore, as we look at the many lessons that we can learn from the book of Malachi: I hope and pray that we will take on board the many aspects of our faith that God would have us adopt so that we can endeavour to live God-honouring lives in our day and age.
Especially if we are to be examples of what it means to live out our Christian lives in such a way that people will be drawn to the ‘life and hope’ that we espouse as we reach out into our local communities and beyond. For God is calling us back to what He intended for us and our lives – To get back to where we once belonged!
Messages from this series have been adapted from Mark Driscoll’s sermon series that he presented to Mars Hill Church in late 2013 / early 2014.
We hope and pray that through the words and music that you hear, and the many talents used in His service to bring this meeting to you each week, that you will be uplifted in your spirit and encouraged as you continue trusting in God and living out your journey of faith. Knowing that through His Holy Spirit He goes with you, He is walking beside you, and He is also preparing a way forward for you.
