As we begin a new (parallel) sermon series on the book of Malachi, think about agood conversation that youve had. A good, productive conversation comes withchallenges, but also brings a sense of connection and joy. The LORD God, transcendent over and completely independent of all His creation, invites and expectsthe crown of His creation man and woman (Genesis 1:26-31) to engage withHim in a two-way exchange of ideas. Yet real dialogue must be based on truth, anddialogue with the sovereign God is therefore based on His revealed truth, the holyScriptures.Watch at: https://youtu.be/8si4RFySgHM
