In this message, Pastor Robey Barnes walks us through Malachi 6, where God speaks about tithing and what He truly wants from us when it comes to our finances. Pastor Robey doesn’t shy away from the fact that money has been a source of hurt for many within the church. But just because there’s been pain doesn’t mean we can ignore what God says. He challenges us to take a fresh look at tithing, to recognize that God calls us to be faithful with what He’s given us, and to trust Him with our finances. This is an invitation to heal, to return to God, and to see the blessing that comes from following His guidance—even when it’s tough.

Have you ever wondered what God thinks when we don’t give Him our best? In this second sermon of our “Cut to the Heart” series, we dive into the book of Malachi to find out. This message invites us to take a closer look at the sacrifices we bring to God—are they wholehearted, or are we holding back?

Welcome to our new series, "Cut to the Heart," where we're diving into the book of Malachi together! Pastor Robey Barnes kicks things off in Malachi chapter 1, where we explore the struggle of wrestling with God. This journey challenges us to think about the parts of our lives we might not have fully surrendered. As we learn to fully surrender, we can stop interpreting God's love based on our circumstances and instead start seeing our circumstances through the lens of God's love, especially as demonstrated through Jesus. It's all about getting real with ourselves and God, and we can't wait to explore this with you!

Join us for the final part of the "Finishing Well" series, where special guest Dr. Jon Elswick from Crossway Church shares a powerful message.

By learning to recognize and remove these idols, we can ensure Jesus is our top priority, leading us to a more fulfilling and devoted life with Him.
