The Ultimate Father (2 of 9)
Series: Majoring in the Minors

Malachi 1:6-14
Happy Father’s Day to you all. You have to have some ‘‘dad jokes on Father’s Day,’’ right? When does a joke become a ‘‘dad joke’’? When it becomes apparent. What do you call a thousand rabbits walking backward? A receding hairline. My friend was showing me his tool shed and pointed to a ladder. ‘‘That’s my stepladder,’’ he said. ‘‘I never knew my real ladder.’’ What did the daddy spider say to the baby spider? You spend too much time on the web. I’m done - no more ?.
If you have a copy of God’s Word, turn with me to the book of Malachi (page 953 in your pew, Bibles in front of you). Malachi is the very last book in your Old Testament. So find the New Testament book of Matthew and turn left ?.

But you say, ‘How have we polluted you?’ By saying that the Lord’s table may be despised. 8 When you offer blind animals in sacrifice, is that not evil? And when you offer those that are lame or sick, is that not evil? Present that to your governor; will he accept you or show you favor? says the Lord of hosts. 9 And now entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us. With such a gift from your hand, will he show favor to any of you? says the Lord of hosts. 10 Oh that there were one among you who would shut the doors, that you might not kindle fire on my altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord of h ...
