SERMON NOTES:
- Malachi: A Call to Return to The Lord
- Malachi
     - The final minor prophet
     - Around 400 BC
     - 100 years after Israel returned from exile
- God saying “I have __________” and “you have___________”
- People questioning “how have you _________?” And “How have we _________?”
    “How have you loved us?”
    “How have we shown contempt for your name?”
    “How have we defiled you?”
    “Why do you not receive our offerings?”
    “How have we wearied you?”
    “How are we to return to you?”
    “How are we robbing you?”
    “What have we said against you?”
- Return to the Lord in your WORSHIP
    - Malachi 1:7-8
    - Ministry is secondarily how we serve one another horizontally and primarily how we bless God vertically.
    - Malachi 1:13
    - Malachi 3:13-15
- Return to the Lord with your HOME (specifically, marriage)
    - Malachi 2:14-16
- Return to the Lord with your FINANCES
    - Malachi 3:8-10
    - Why do we tithe?
    - To worship the Lord as our provider
    - To show everything else in our lives that God is first
    - To fight selfishness, greed, and self-reliance in our hearts
    - It provides for God’s house
    - It reminds us that we are not our source
    - It creates margin in our lives for God to fill
    - It gives our work Kingdom significance by connecting our money to God’s purposes in the earth
    - God promises to take care of us
    - Malachi 3:10-12
- Malachi 4:2-3
