Justice and Worship, explores the tension we feel when the wicked seem to prosper and our obedience appears overlooked. Drawing from Malachi 3:13–18, it challenges us to hold our assessments of justice and continue worshiping God regardless of circumstances. We see Israel claiming injustice not from love for God, but from a desire for personal gain—revealing how our own sense of justice, though rooted in the image of God, is marred by sin and must be reshaped by Scripture. God’s Word reminds us that delayed justice isn’t indifference but divine patience, giving space for repentance and displaying His mercy.

This message tackles a big question: Is God greedy? Through Malachi 3, we see that God isn’t after our money—He’s after our trust. Giving is an act of worship that reminds us everything belongs to Him, and that our hearts are meant to rest in His provision, not our possessions.

Malachi confronts Israel’s spiritual drift—exposing how they had grown careless, mistaken blessing for approval, and stopped examining their hearts. His words call us to wake up, return to honest confession, and let God steer us back toward faithfulness. ​ Key themes: • Wearying the Lord: Stop assuming blessing equal God’s approval and take sin seriously. • Judgment Is Coming: God’s justice is real, but so is His mercy for those in Christ. • Who Faces Judgment: Those who practice evil and harm others. • God’s Character: His unchanging goodness invites us back to Him.
