“I’d rather be the worst sinner on this earth—even a gangster or murderer—than to be the minister who goes into the pulpit with an unbelieving heart and gives pious platitudes.” That’s what our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, tells us as we examine the three sins pastors must avoid and hear how God requires our sincerity and reverence in worship.

Malachi 1:8-13
The little book of Malachi can be uncomfortable to study. Instead of pointing fingers at others, it helps us take a serious look at our own lives and ask tough questions like, “Am I giving my best to God?” Learn to recognize the warnings the Israelites ignored (the insincerity and hypocrisy in their hearts and worship) and see how the same things are a concern for us.

Malachi 1:2-8
What does it mean to live a life after God? The Israelites and Malachi disagreed on the answer. We’ll watch Malachi address the priests’ arrogance and expose their blemished rituals as an outward show. As Dr. McGee tells us, “God was telling them what they sacrifice is really a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the perfect Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Any imperfect offering was an insult to Him.”

Malachi Intro—1:3
Who was Malachi? Was he a man or an angel? Together we examine the evidence and discover, ultimately, it’s “the message not the man that matters.” Travel with us through Malachi, and see him confront the Israelites on many of the same issues Nehemiah did, including: the defilement of the priesthood, the foreign marriages and divorce of Israelite wives, and neglecting their giving to God.
