The Final Word

March 15th 2026

The book of Malachi contains God’s final message to His people before 400 years of silence. Though the temple had been rebuilt and life restored in Jerusalem, the hearts of the people had grown distant from God.

Through Malachi, God confronts spiritual apathy and reminds His people that serving Him is never meaningless. He sees their faithfulness, records their devotion, and promises a future where the difference between the righteous and the wicked will be clear.

This message reminds us that while the Old Testament ends with a warning, the story ultimately leads to the grace found in Jesus Christ.

God’s final word was not judgment—it was preparation for redemption.

Why Give? | The Final Word | Life Church

March 8th 2026

Before 400 years of silence between the Old and New Testaments, God spoke one final message through the prophet Malachi—calling His people back to faithfulness and devotion.

In this message, we explore Malachi 3:6–12 and the heart behind biblical generosity. Giving is not about pressure or obligation; it is about trust, worship, and participation in God’s mission through the local church.

Discover how generosity reveals our hearts, fuels the mission of the church, and positions our lives to experience God’s blessing.

Giving isn’t what the church wants from you—it’s what God wants for you.

REST | Pastor Harriet | Life Church

REST – Winter is the season the soul rests.

Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out?

Jesus’ invitation in Gospel of Matthew 11 isn’t about escaping responsibility it’s about exchanging heavy burdens for His light yoke. It’s about rediscovering Sabbath as a gift, not a rule.

From creation in Genesis to the promise of a greater rest in Epistle to the Hebrews 4, Scripture reveals that rest is woven into God’s design for our freedom.

In this episode, we explore:

• The true meaning of Sabbath

• Why our culture resists rest

• How Jesus modeled healthy rhythms

• What it means to live in the freedom Christ secured (Galatians 5:1)

It’s time to sit down. To cease striving. To learn the unforced rhythms of grace.

The Weight of the Calling | The Final Word | Life Church

The Weight of the Calling | The Final Word | February 22nd 2026

Leadership in the church is not light — it carries eternal weight.

In this message from the book of Malachi, we explore God’s final prophetic words before 400 years of silence. Speaking directly to the priests, God makes it clear: He measures leaders not by productivity, but by how deeply they honor Him.

We unpack what happens when leaders drift, how integrity sustains what gifting alone cannot, and how believers can respond to church hurt in a healthy, biblical way.

The calling is weighty — but so is the grace of God.

Scriptures: Malachi 2:1–8, Matthew 16:18, 1 Timothy 5:17–20

Burdens or Blessings | The Final Word | Life Church

February 10, 2026

Before God went silent, He spoke clearly.

In this message from The Final Word series, we dive into Malachi 1 to explore God’s challenge to His people who had rebuilt the temple—but lost their passion. What began as worship slowly became routine, and devotion turned into obligation.

God reminds us that He is not just a loving Father—He is also a great King worthy of honor.

When worship feels like a burden, something in our hearts needs realignment. But when worship flows from devotion, it becomes a blessing.

This episode will encourage you to reflect on:

• The condition of your worship

• What you’re offering God

• How to live with wholehearted devotion

Because God gave us His best, He deserves our best.

Love Without Limits| The Final Word | Life Church

Sermon: Love Without Limits

Series: The Final Word

Life Church | February 1, 2026

Before God went silent, He spoke clearly.

In this episode, Love Without Limits, we open the book of Malachi—the final message of the Old Testament and God’s loving call to a spiritually weary people. Though the temple was rebuilt and the city restored, apathy had taken root. Through Malachi, God confronts sin, renews devotion, and declares His unwavering love.

This message reminds us that God corrects those He’s committed to—and His love is not based on our performance, but His covenant faithfulness. If you’ve felt distant from God, this teaching will challenge and encourage you to return to Him with your whole heart.

Keep On Praying | Pray First | January 18th 2026

Prayer changes things—but even more importantly, prayer changes us.

In this message from the Pray First series, Keep On Praying, we’re reminded that prayer is meant to be a constant, Spirit-led conversation with God. Drawing from Ephesians 6:18, this sermon challenges us to pray in every season, with persistence, expectation, and faith—even when answers don’t come immediately.

• Praying in the Spirit when we don’t know what to say

• How asking, seeking, and knocking deepen our relationship with God

• Why knowing Him is greater than receiving answers

As we walk through 21 Days of Prayer, this message will strengthen your faith and encourage you to keep showing up in God’s presence—because while prayer brings results, relationship is the real reward.

📖 Scripture Focus: Ephesians 6:18
🎧 Listen and be encouraged to keep on praying.
