Malachi - 8 Sessions

After the 70 year exile the Israelites had been back in the land for more than a hundred years and were looking for the blessings they expected to receive when they returned. Though the temple had been rebuilt, the fervor of those early returning Israelites gave way to a thorough apathy for the things of God. This led to rampant corruption among the priesthood and a spiritual lethargy among the people. This study should help us hear God's voice to a people who have lost interest in a life of service to God.
