Celebrating 10 Years: Remember

Text: Psalm 77:11

Most people in our society lead busy lives running here and there and trying to meet the rigorous demands of life. This hustle and bustle can often overwhelm us and distract us from the things that really matter in life. When we get to this state we often become like the people in Malachi 1 who forgot how God had shown His incredible love for them. The cure for Israel is still the cure today - to take the time to remember. Be sure to listen as guest speaker Randy Spencer invites us to pause and remember God's provision throughout history and His blessings at Crosslink over the past 10 years!

Return to Me: Resisting God

Text: Malachi 3:13-4:2

Have you ever wanted to 'throw in the towel'? Most have felt that way in some area of their life, but have you ever felt that way towards God? Sadly, the Israelites in Malachi's day were in that place. They had made many false assumptions and came to many wrong conclusions that greatly hindered them from seeing the Truth. Be sure to listen today so that you never give in to this powerful lure of the enemy to 'just give up'. And, if you’re already there, please know there is still hope today. In Malachi 3:7 the Lord says, "Return to Me, and I will return to you." This message extends to you and He is waiting for you to come!

Return to Me: Robbing God

Text: Malachi 3:8-12

In this message, we discover the third key problem that was causing a spiritual distance between God and the people of Malachi’s day. Sadly, just 100 years prior, the people had been in a similar situation and had failed to learn the lesson. It is interesting to note that even now, 2,400 years later, we still struggle with the same issue. Be sure to listen today so that you can give your best for the glory of God and the good of others.

Return to Me: Disrespecting God

Text: Malachi 2:10-17

Most people would never want to show disrespect or dishonor towards God. However, without even realizing they do it on a regular basis. In Malachi 2 God gives us a gauge to evaluate whether we are showing Him the respect and the honor that He deserves. The truth that He reveals may surprise you. Be sure to listen today so that you can learn and grow to the be the child of God that gives Him the honor and praise of which He alone is worthy.
