Return to the Lord: Pentecost 22

Pastor Michael preaches with the takeaway: Malachi asks, “Will man rob God?” (3:8), but consider this question: “Will God rob man?” Does God withhold anything from us? Is He stingy in gifts, miserly in blessing? Look to Jesus, and see the height, width, length, and depth of God’s love for you and the everlasting blessings He gives. Reflect on these questions: How is God blessing you? How is God calling you to respond?
