REKINDLE: The Message of Malachi

It was a dark time in the land of Judah. Roughly 100 years after they returned from captivity, the people of God expected better. They expected to rebuild their city, renew their lives and restore their position with God. They experienced the opposite. There was gross immorality and rampant corruption. The poor were being oppressed, the economy was faltering, the people were apathetic toward religion, and domination from rival nations still remained a threat. Spiritually, it was one of the lowest times for God’s people. They needed a message from God—and Malachi brought it! The book of Malachi contains a message that God’s people needed to hear back then, and that God’s people still need to hear today: it’s time to REKINDLE your heart for God.
