How Great Thou Art, O How Great, You Are My King (Amazing Love), When I Look Into Your Holiness, Unbroken Praise

Welcome

Have you ever “loved” someone in your life to whom you never expressed your love to in either words or action?

Word

MALACHI 1:1-4

(READ UP TO THE END OF MALACHI 2)

The oracle of the word of the LORD to Israel through Malachi. 2 “I have loved you,” says the LORD. But you say, “How have You loved us?” “Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?” declares the LORD. “Yet I have loved Jacob; 3 but I have hated Esau, and I have made his mountains a desolation and appointed his inheritance for the jackals of the wilderness.” 4 Though Edom says, “We have been beaten down, but we will return and build up the ruins”; thus says the LORD of hosts, “They may build, but I will tear down; and men will call them the wicked territory, and the people toward whom the LORD is indignant forever.” 5 Your eyes will see this and you will say, “The LORD be magnified beyond the border of Israel!”

POINT IT OUT!

II. BRING GOD YOUR BEST
