Malachi Part 3 – Consequences of Wrong Teaching
Reverend Phil Simmonds
PASTORS THOUGHTS
This week we look at the 3rd of God’s grievances – but this time it’s specifically against the Levite priests, who have dishonoured Him (and His Covenant with Levi) through their wrong teaching of the Law – which has led the people astray, and is therefore totally
unacceptable to God. Today, this would be primarily equated to Ministers / Pastors wrongly preaching/teaching from the Bible – God’s Word, in His Name. To help guard against this, God’s people should pray as the Apostle Paul requested in Ephesians 6:18-20.”
Malachi Part 2 – Consequences of Blemished Sacrifices
Reverend Phil Simmonds
PASTORS THOUGHTS
“This week we look at the 2nd of the grievances God has against His people. Their offering of blemished sacrifices, which are totally unacceptable to God (as made perfectly clear in Lev. 22 : 17- 33), and consequently treated by God as being disrespectful and unworthy of His Name, which is to be honoured, especially by His people, whether in word, action or thought! Question for Consideration : How does the Christian Church honour or dis-honour God in Christ today?”
Malachi Part 1 – Introduction
Reverend Phil Simmonds
PASTORS THOUGHTS
“This Sunday, we start a new series from the Old Testament Book of Malachi. The focus is upon God’s gracious “wake up” call to His backslidden Covenant Church—Israel, primarily and sadly due to the failure of its spiritual leaders, the Priests!
As is always the case with God’s Word, this remains a timely reminder and litmus test for today’s Church—World wide.”
