“A Giving Heart”
Malachai 3:6-12
The prophet Malachi was given a vital task–to speak forth a warning to the Israelites of their need for repentance. To set the scene, there were about 50,000 Israelites who returned from the Babylonian captivity to Jerusalem, but they struggled with the same sin issues that led to the captivity in the first place–namely ignoring the priority of seeking God in their lives. As Malachi is pointing out all issues, God reveals something important to us–His heart for people. As we rejoin our message series, “Becoming a Reflection of God’s Truth,” we join Malachi in chapter 3 and notice that God’s heart is to be outrageously generous, and that we reflect the heart of God when we give like Him.
