Series: Malachi – Arguing With God

Lesson – Faithful to Each Other

Scripture – Malachi 2:10-2:16

Hey Parents!

How can you tell if a community genuinely loves God? Look at how they love one another. In tonight’s passage Malachi calls out the people for their faithlessness. Not just with God but with each other. They’ve married people outside the covenant. They’ve broken promises with each other. And divorce has been rampant. Malachi shows them their disdain for God’s law has wreaked havoc on their relationships with others. The same happens with us. Devaluing others begins when we devalue God and His law. So how do we live? We repent and serve others like Christ served us through the cross.

What is the Church?

The Church is the community of believers throughout time who have been saved by the work of Jesus Christ. It is the only institution that Jesus died for and the only one that will last for eternity. The local church gathers regularly to glorify God through the preaching of God’s Word and the practice of sacraments such as baptism and communion. All Christians are called to belong to a local church.

Scripture – 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

Conversation Question:

Why does the church practice communion? Is it just a symbol or is it more? Why do you practice communion?
