ISRAEL’S UNIVERSAL PROBLEM

MALACHI 3

Pastor Rick Jackson

So many folk want to get rid of Israel and replace it with the Church but God doesn’t.

1 Corinthians 10:32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God: The strange thing is we have the same problem that Israel had and has today. It is the Sin problem.

I. MAN’S DILEMMA [v. 5-7]

1. The Sin Debt [v. 5]

2. The Sovereign Deity [v. 6]

3. The Single Deliverance [v. 7, Acts 4:12, Jn. 14:6, 1 John 5:12]

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

II. SIN’S DENIAL [v. 7-9, 13-15]

1. Distance Denied [v. 7, Is. 59:2]

2. Debt Denied [v. 8-9]

3. Declarations Denied [v. 13-15, Matthew 12:36]

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

III. BLESSING BESTOWED [v. 10-12, 16-18]

1. Blessings Delayed by their sin [v. 10-12, Hebrews 7:2]

To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

Genesis 28:22 And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

1 Corinthians 16:2 Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

2. Blessings Remembered [v. 16, Psalm 56:8]

Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?

3. Blessings Promised [v. 17-18]
