协理 Associate Pastor
The Peace we have Malachi 3.1-4; Luke 3.1-6 1.
There Will Be Purifying (Malachi 3.1-4) We wait for the Return of the Lord. But we do not wait passively because we need to undergo purifying. v2 Why does Malachi liken the refining of metal and bleaching of clothe as the purifying process? v3-4 Acceptable sacrifices and offerings. Can you recall instances in the Bible where God rejected the sacrifices or offerings? v 5 A varied range of sins were highlighted. What does this mean for you?
2.
Repentance Is Required (Luke 3.1-6) v3 How is the need for repentance and confession be shared as part of the Good News when a person a. does not believe in sin b. does not think he/she has done anything that bad
