Malachi - Life Application


1.       Malachi told the people of Israel they should love God because God loves them.  God has chosen the people of Israel to be His people.  Those of us in the church today are the bride of Christ.  Why should we love God?





2.       The people of Israel were to glorify God in their blessings AND in their trials.  Why is it important for those in the church to glorify God even in their trials?





3.       God deserves and demands our best.



A.      Why is it so difficult for those of us in the church to give God our best?



B.      Why do we seem to settle so easily for mediocrity in our service to the church?



C.      What can we do to ensure we give God our best rather than settling for mediocre second best….or worse?





4.       One of the major concerns presented by Malachi was the problem of mixed marriages.  How does this concern apply to the church today?





5.       God grew weary of the Israelites words.  What precautions can we take to make sure God does not get weary of our words?





6.       A concern of Malachi was oppression of the poor and needy.  How might we be guilty of similar oppression?





7.        God accused the people of Israel of ‘stealing’ from Him because they did not give Him the best.  How do we as the church maybe ‘steal’ from God?
