Returning To God

What does it truly mean to return to God, and how does His unchanging nature transform our perspective on faithfulness, trust, and our daily lives?In this sermon on Malachi 3:6–12, Lead Pastor Neil McClendon unpacks the historical context of Israel’s post-exilic struggles to reveal the true heart behind one of the Old Testament's most famous passages. Rather than a lecture on giving, Pastor Neil illustrates how tithing in Malachi is fundamentally a window into God's immutable faithfulness and a physical practice that turns our hearts back toward Him. Discover why God's unchanging nature ensures we are not consumed, how repentance requires taking personal responsibility, and what it looks like to put God to the test and experience His complete sufficiency.In this episode, we cover:The Context of Malachi: Understanding the historical backdrop of a disillusioned, apathetic, and returning Israel.An Unchanging God (Immutability): Why God’s consistent, perfect nature is the foundation of our security and grace.A Reciprocal Return: Why turning back to God requires taking responsibility rather than playing the victim.The Heart Behind the Tithe: How where we place our treasure shapes where our hearts align, and why tithing is an exercise in trust.The Invitation to Test God: Experiencing God's promises of sufficiency, protection, blessedness, and delight when we trust Him completely.Be sure to follow us:InstagramFacebookYoutube
