Malachi Chapters 1 and 2.

"In what way have we despised your name?"

The people of Malachi's day had despised God, his salvation and preservation, by their half hearted, lukewarm religion. Let's make sure we don't fall into that same trap...

Revelation 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Text. Ephesians 5:30-31

Marriage is a reflection of the order that exist in the kingdom of God. Before we leave the subject of marriage, there are one or two more observations that we must make. There are those whom we must not marry, and of course there are those who never marry at all. READ Matthew 19:4-6

Malachi 1:2-4

In this episode we continue our look at the Book of Malachi, and we try to understand why Malachi declared that Jacob was loved by God, while Esau was hated. Why, when Jacob was no better, - and perhaps worse than Esau?

Ephesians 5:28ff

Practical Help for Husbands

Paul goes a step further in his teaching on marriage. Not only must a man love his wife, as Christ loved the church, but he must love her as much as he loves himself. Your wife, (your husband is MORE than just a partner.) Paul tells us here that a man’s wife is part of his own body, his own flesh and blood. What does that mean, and what are the implications for married men?

Text: Ephesians 5:25-26 and Matthew 22:1-15

After addressing wives in verses 22 through 24, Paul switches focus to husbands has some wise words for them. A husband is to earn the respect of his wife, by loving her, as Christ loved the church. That prompts us to ask how OUR love for our wives can be Christlike love.

Ephesians 5:21-24

Let’s look at the verse that tells us that wives are to submit to their own husband… What can that mean? In some religions, particularly in Islam, women are regarded as inferior to men. Greatly inferior. Is that what Paul means here?

This is a live sermon, recorded at Ballymacason. Apologies for the sound quality.

Speaking at TRC, Bob looks at the government's response to recent unrest and rioting in the UK, and seeks to understand what the underlying causes of that unrest might be. He suggests that there is a deep sense of unfairness in the population, which has already simmering tensions to rise to the surface and manifest itself in riot, civil disorder and violence.

he sees no hope from politicians, whose stock in trade seems to be broken promises and downright lies. What can we do? There is only one course of action for the nation. That is for God's people to humble themselves enough to admit that we need to learn again the power of prayer, for prayer is the answer...

if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14
