Worship Is Your Why (3 of 9)
Series: Majoring in the Minors
Scott Maze
Malachi 2:1-9
This morning, I want to talk to you about Discovering Your Why for Life. One day a man walks up to Jesus and says, ‘‘Lord, what’s the most important thing in the Bible?’’ Jesus replied this way: ‘‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment’’ (Matthew 27:37b-38). Jesus said worship is your why to life.
Passion drives us, and it makes us get up in the morning. Some people have a passion for literature, while others have a passion for travel. I wonder how many of us have a real deep, burning passion for God Himself? People have so many passions, from golf to hunting to gardening and fishing. Today, I want to reignite your passion for God.
Find the book of Malachi with me if you will (page 953 in your Black pew Bibles in front of you).
We are majoring in the minor Prophets this summer. These are the books tucked away at the end of the Old Testament that are little compared to the major prophets. Now, here is a major league message from a minor prophet. Malachi wants to help you worship.
Today’s Scripture
‘‘And now, O priests, this command is for you. 2 If you will not listen, if you will not take it to heart to give honor to my name, says the Lord of hosts, then I will send the curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings. Indeed, I have already cursed them, because you do not lay it to heart. 3 Behold, I will rebuke your offspring, and spread dung on your faces, the dung of your offerings, and you shall be taken away with it. 4 So shall you know that I have sent this command to you, that my covenant with Levi may stand, says the Lord of hosts. 5 My covenant with him was one of life and peace, and I gave them to him. It was a covenant of fear, and he feared me. He stood in awe of my name. 6 True instruction was in his mouth, and no wrong was found on his lips ...
