In the midst of our suffering, have you ever wondered how, or why, we can continue to worship God? Check out today’s message as Pastor Jesse explains why God is worthy of our worship even in the midst of exile.

God is worthy of our worship.
God is merciful to our sin.
God does the saving work.
God is a resurrecting God.
God has promised an inheritance.
God holds us secure.

As we conclude our sermon series in Malachi, the prophet is showing the people of Israel what the future holds. How then should we live?

Does our obedience to God reflect a heart that treasures God or does it reflect a heart that expects treasures from God? How do we truly treasure God?

We treasure God because God treasures us.

Treasure God in your Life.

Treasure God in your Devotion.

Why should we give to God? Are we commanded to? Join us as we look at what God’s Word teaches us about giving and how we tend to rob God.

Main Idea: Because Christ is our Faithful Savior, we should be Faithful Stewards

We give because God has been faithful to us.

We give out of a heart of worship to God.

We give because we have been blessed in Jesus.

Title: “Our Faithful God”

Sometimes we can struggle as a faithless people, but if we look to Christ, and his faithfulness to us, we can be encouraged and empowered to be faithful to God and to our neighbor.

We can be FAITHFUL to OTHERS because God is FAITHFUL to US

We can be FAITHFUL to EACH OTHER

We can be FAITHFUL to GOD’S INSTRUCTION
