The next section of the book of Malachi turns its attention to the people of God's covenant. Here, we find God addressing the sanctity of Marriage and its relation to the future plans of the kingdom. We then consider the importance marriage continues to have in the lives of God's chosen people.

The second sermon in our series, Conversations with God, addresses the heart of worship. It isn't enough that we do the things that are right and commanded in scripture. Our daily devotion to worship requires that we do so with the right attitude. Worship is an overflow of what is in our hearts. If our heart is not in the right place, it will affect the integrity of the "right" things we do. The "why" is more important than the "what".

The Sunday before Christmas, we look at the story of the Angel Gabriel coming to the Virgin Mary to tell her that she would conceive a son. A son, that would conquer death and provide a means of salvation to all that would accept Him as their savior. From the story, we glean how we can worship genuinely at Christmas: marvel at the miraculous, confront the reality of our lives and our condition, and finally, submit wholeheartedly to the Lord.

In the close of the fourth chapter of Hebrews the author marries together the two major themes covered thus far in the book to explain the nature of Jesus as the High Priest of our faith. Jesus' supremacy of all things informs our worship. Understanding who Jesus is is essential to worship the way we are supposed to. In this sermon, we explore how these two ideas are related.
