Renewal Begins with Faithfulness - Malachi 2:10-16

CEFC sermons Soap Lake

Sunday’s sermon from the Community Evangelical Free Church in Soap Lake, WA. Our text for this Sunday is Malachi 2:10-16. In this passage of Scripture we find God exposing the sin of unfaithfulness beginning with the priests and extending to the people. The lesson we learn is that faithless leaders produce faithless followers. As we ponder the unfaithfulness of those addressed in Malachi 2, we must ask ourselves where have been unfaithful to the Lord. Have we been faithless to our brothers and sister in Christ by mistreating them? Have we been faithless to God’s clear commands? Have we been faithless in our marriage? Wherever we’ve found ourselves walking in unfaithfulness there is only one answer and it is not to just pull ourselves up by our boot straps and do better. The only answer to our unfaithfulness is the Faithful One, Jesus Christ. He is the one who took on flesh, lived in perfect righteousness, bore our sin, was dead, buried, and rose on the third day that through faith those who believe would be new creations in Him, totally forgiven of sin and growing in His likeness. We pray as you listen to this sermon that you’d be encouraged to look to Jesus, our only hope in life and death. If you have any questions or comments you can contact us at [e-mail]
