The Shocking Cost of a Compromised Ministry

Spiritual disintegration never happens in an instant; it is a slow, steady decay. Malachi 2 reveals the ultimatum God levels against unfaithful leadership. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller shows the high stakes of stewardship. Unpack the shocking imagery of a holy God rejecting polluted worship. This is part one of the sermon, "Misleading Ministers." 01:38 – The Slow Fade: Why spiritual collapse is always a long, steady decay. 04:40 – Cursing the Blessing: How a privileged office can turn into a place of wrath. 06:15 – The Graphic Warning: Why God used the imagery of "offal" to shock His people. 08:15 – Bridging the Gap: Why every believer is a "minister" with a sphere of influence. 11:37 – The Judgment Seat: Understanding how our motives will be judged before Christ. 13:20 – The Path of Holiness: The necessity of keeping short accounts with God.
