It was thirty years ago when I last preached expositional sermons through the Old Testament Prophet Malachi. The reason I started this series was to set a framework for our “Praying with Jesus 40 Days toward Church Revitalization” emphasis, which we will follow up with a study of Return to Me: God’s Plea and Promise to His Church. Claude V. King wrote this book based on Malachi 3:7. We need to return to the Lord our God and obey Jesus’ command to “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20 CSB).

     D-Groups are forming now – these are groups of about four people who meet regularly for the purpose of growing closer to Christ and supporting one another in biblical community. A D-Group is an excellent way for people to follow the Great Commission. In these meetings you will share the Word of God with one another, learn Scripture together and support one another through prayer and building relationships. Jesus did this with Peter, James and John. Paul told Timothy to do the same thing in 2 Timothy 2:2 “And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, commit to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” Several members have agreed to start a D-Group, will you ask the Lord what He would have you do today?
