The Return of the Prodigal Church — Preparing for the Day of the Lord

As a skilled preacher, the prophet Malachi brings his sermon to a close with a huge challenge to his listeners - the Day of the Lord is coming; how will you experience it?
For some, the Day of the Lord's appearing will be agony; for others, ecstasy. How can two such widely different responses happen on the same day?
Malachi teaches us two methods to help us prepare for the Day of the Lord's coming: 
Remembering;
Renewal
As we take these methods in hand, we find ourselves praying for God daily renew us, so we can point people to Jesus more powerfully before that great day of his coming.

Judgment Day: Which Group Will You Be In?

David unpacks the biblical teaching of the Day of the Lord, using Malachi and the parable of the prodigal son to distinguish three groups to explain how each will face God’s judgment.
the wicked,
the religious, and
the faithful.
Key points include why mere religious practice can be empty, how true faithfulness is shown by fearing and honouring God and by fellowship with other believers, the possibility of repentance for the wicked, and the gospel: Jesus as the faithful substitute who secures mercy for those who trust him.

Repentance & Generosity from the Book of Malachi

Pastor David, drawing from the last book in the old testament, the book of Malachi - teaches on a well known portion of scripture from chapter 3 emphasizing the Lord's unchanging nature.
He speaks on the call to repentance, and the promise of abundant blessings for the faithful.
This touches on tithing, giving with a joyful heart and being a good steward with your finances.

Where Is the God of Justice? Malachi’s Answer: I Will Send, Testify, Purify

In this episode pastor David Varney works through Malachi 3 to answer the perennial question: “Where is the God of justice?” Using the prophet’s threefold reply—“I will send, I will testify, I will purify”—the speaker unpacks Scripture, links Malachi to John the Baptist and Jesus, and explains how God’s justice is both decisive and redemptive.
The sermon covers the problem of evil and suffering, the role of the messenger who prepares the way (John the Baptist), and the Lord who brings covenant justice (Jesus). Key themes include God’s courtroom of accountability, the refining and purifying imagery of fire and soap, Christ’s atonement as taking the judgment in our place, and the work of the Holy Spirit to make believers righteous.
Listeners can expect practical application and a call to live out God’s justice—both personally and socially—along with references to organizations and opportunities for action (e.g., supporting persecuted believers and anti-trafficking efforts). The tone is pastoral, evangelistic, and challenge-oriented: repent, be refined, and pursue justice in your community.
