Malachi: A Fresh Start | Questioning God’s Justice & Care (Malachi 2:17–3:12)In this sermon from Malachi 2:17–3:12, we explore God’s response to a weary and drifting people who were questioning His justice and care.Israel asked, “Where is the God of justice?”
God answered, “I am coming.”And He came.This passage shows us that God does not ignore half-hearted worship, empty religion, or drifting hearts. Instead, He comes as a refiner and purifier, committed to restoring His people, not abandoning them.We see how heart drift leads to fruitlessness, how personal compromise shapes church culture, and how God lovingly calls His people back to wholehearted worship, obedience, and trust.Above all, this sermon points us to Jesus, the Messenger of the Covenant, who has already come to cleanse, restore, and redeem His people, and who will come again in glory.Whether you feel weary, comfortable, drifting, or discouraged, this message reminds us that the unchanging God still calls His people home.“Return to me, and I will return to you.”We pray this message encourages you to trust Christ, return to wholehearted worship, and rejoice in the faithfulness of God.
