The book off Malachi confronts the Israelites returned from exile. Malachi searches the hearts of Israel's hope, worship, and relationships with the question, "where is the fer of the LORD among His people?" In this two part series we hear the same question directed at us in the 21st century. Have we decentered God? Have we dethroned Him? Do we hold out hope for Him to work for justice beyond what we can see? Listen to the message of Malachi as God speaks through His word to call us again to "genuine worship and expectant faith."* * The title for this series is drawn from E. Ray Clendenen's introduction to Malachi in Haggai, Malachi New American Commentary Series (Nashville: B&H, 2004) pg. 204.
