Malachi: Return to Me 2023 — “When life is broken, hurtful, and falling apart… RETURN TO ME”

In this message, Pastor Brad Murphy continues the @EagleLifeChurch series “Return to Me” from the last book of the Old Testament, Malachi. In this series, you will start 2023 with faith to return to God in love, worship, faith, family, humility, justice, and blessing.

Today, we will become the treasured possession of God our creator. We will reject the world’s lies about how to experience real pleasure, how to find leisure for our soul, and how to measure the success of our life.
us!

Join us as we return to God and pray for an awakening in our generation.

“From the days of your fathers you have turned aside from my statutes and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. But you say, ‘How shall we return?’”
Malachi 3:7 (ESV, emphasis added)

SCRIPTURE: Malachi 3:16-18; 4:1-6; Psalm 111:10; Psalm 37:1-9,28-29,34; 2 Peter 3:8-10; Romans 3:21-26 (ESV)

Then those who feared the LORD spoke with one another. The LORD paid attention and heard them, and a book of remembrance was written before him of those who feared the LORD and esteemed his name. ¹⁷ “They shall be mine, says the LORD of hosts, in the day when I make up my treasured possession, and I will spare them as a man spares his son who serves him. ¹⁸ Then once more you shall see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve him.
Malachi 3:16-18 (ESV)

You are His Treasure when He is Your PLEASURE
You are His Treasure when He is Your LEISURE
You are His Treasure when He is Your MEASURE

“For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble. The day that is coming shall set them ablaze, says the LORD of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. ² But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall. ³ And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet, on the day when I act, says the LORD of hosts.
⁴ “Remember the law of my servant Moses, the statutes and rules that I commanded him at Horeb for all Israel.
⁵ “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes. ⁶ And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with a decree of utter destruction.”
Malachi 4:1-6 (ESV)
