Four Means of Authentic Worship of the Lord of Hosts

This morning we examine Malachi's second oracle calling for God's people to correct their illicit practices and indifferent attitudes. Paul echoes this message in Romans 12 with a call for the NT church to live their lives as a sacrificially as our spiritual worship. Though the Old Testament traditions and modes of worship have changed, the responsibility of God's people to worship with authentic motives remains the same.
