Return to the Lord

Pastor Nate encourages listeners to reflect on their relationship with God, emphasizing that God’s ways supersede human ways and that aligning one’s heart with Jesus brings joy and delight. It delves into the Malachi passage, where God calls the “children of Jacob” to return to Him, repent, and restore their relationship, rebuking their past disobedience, particularly regarding their quality of worship and withholding tithes and offerings. The message highlights God’s unchanging nature and faithfulness, assuring that He will not consume His people despite their unfaithfulness. Listeners are challenged to “test” God by bringing their full tithes into the storehouse, with the promise that He will open the heavens and pour out blessings until there is no more need, rebuking the devourer. The sermon also stresses that generous, sacrificial giving, motivated by grace, furthers God’s kingdom and impacts nations globally, shaping the eternity of people around the world. Ultimately, the message extends a call for individuals to acknowledge their sin, believe in Jesus’s sacrifice and resurrection, and call out to Him for salvation, taking a courageous step to renew their faith and trust in God’s promises.
