The Minor Prophets: Malachi

Malachi’s ministry is several decades after Haggai and Zechariah, somewhere around 480-450BC. The temple has been rebuilt. God’s covenant presence is being restored to Jerusalem following the Babylonian exile. There is a functioning priesthood, but the people’s zeal for walking in faithfulness to God has waned. They have fallen back into some traditionalism and they’ve gotten lax with the commands of God. And he’s going to call them back to covenant faithfulness. In this sermon, we see what it looks like to walk in covenant faithfulness with God.
