The Refiner’s Fire

A study in the book of Malachi

Malachi brings God’s message to a discouraged people. They had returned from captivity but their expectations had not been realized. They had anticipated a day of prosperity but have endured drought and poverty. The long-awaited Messiah had not arrived.

They are now skeptical with regard to God’s promises. Their love for God had grown cold and they asked for proof that God still loved them. Malachi attempts to change their attitude, assuring them of God’s love for them. He comes with the burden of the word of the Lord—it is a revelation from God that carries his authority.

Genesis: the Book of Beginnings

A study in the book of Genesis

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Genesis 1:1).

The word “Genesis” comes from the Greek word meaning “origin.” And an apt title that proves to be, for in this book we are introduced to the origins of the universe, of humanity, of marriage, of the global catastrophe that shaped many of the earth forms we see still today, of multiple languages, of the Jewish people, and even of the Christian gospel.

This book takes us back to the very beginning. We hope you will, no matter who you are, take these opening words of Genesis – “in the beginning” – as an invitation! Every person wants to know “Why am I here?”, “Is there a God?” and “Where is lasting joy found?” And the Bible – one of the oldest, most cohesive, most influential books ever – begins at the beginning and answers these crucial questions. Join us as we study through this foundational book together!
