This week's message opens a new 12-week journey through the Old Testament's Minor Prophets, starting with Malachi — God's final recorded words to Israel before 400 years of prophetic silence. Malachi confronts a people who had rebuilt the Temple and resumed the rituals, but whose hearts had gone quietly numb. Through a striking back-and-forth between God and His people, we're challenged in three areas: what we sacrifice, what we withhold, and how we respond to correction — and reminded that even in the middle of indifference, God is actively making a way back.

Scriptures covered: Malachi 1:2–3, 6–7, 12–13 | Malachi 2:5 | Malachi 3:1, 5, 7–10, 13–18 | Malachi 4:1–2 | Romans 12:1 | 2 Corinthians 9:7–8 | Revelation 3:19–21

Three questions to take with you:

1. What we sacrifice for God reveals how much we value Him — what are you currently giving Him: your best, or your leftovers?
2. What we withhold from God reveals how much we trust Him — where are you holding tightly out of fear instead of trust?
3. Our response to God's correction reveals how much we love Him — when God (or someone He's placed in your life) calls something out, how do you typically respond?

Next Steps:

• Take a moment this week to be honest with God about one area of indifference — invite Him back in.
• Try Malachi 3:10's challenge: test God's generosity with your own this week, in whatever form that takes for you.
• Talk with a friend, spouse, or Grand Point community group about where you've felt "numb" lately, and pray for each other.

Have you ever waited for something you knew was coming, but didn't know exactly when it would happen? On this episode, we continue our summer series through the Minor Prophets, The Voice, landing in the book of Zechariah — fourteen chapters of visions, judgment, and hope for a discouraged people waiting on God to keep His word.

We trace three pictures of Jesus hidden inside Zechariah's prophecy: the Humble Messiah who entered Jerusalem on a donkey exactly as foretold, the Suffering Savior betrayed for the exact price Zechariah named 500 years in advance, and the Returning King whose feet will one day stand on the Mount of Olives.

Show Notes / Scriptures Referenced:

• Zechariah 1:1-4 — "Return to me, and I will return to you."
• Zechariah 9:9 & Matthew 21:4-5 — The Humble Messiah, on a donkey
• Zechariah 11:12-13 & Matthew 27:3-5 — Thirty pieces of silver
• Zechariah 12:10-11 — Mourning for the one they pierced
• Zechariah 14:4, 14:9 & Revelation 19:11-16 — The Returning King
• Romans 5:8 — Christ died for us while we were still sinners

Next Steps from This Episode:

1. Read Zechariah 9:9 and Zechariah 14:9 side by side this week — the King who came humbly, and the King who's coming in glory.
2. If you've never settled the question of where you stand with Jesus, don't leave it unanswered — take that step today.
3. Connect with us in person or online — we'd love to help you take your next step.

In this week's message from Grand Point Church's series The Voice, Director of Kids Ministry Stephen Hunt walks through the book of Obadiah — the shortest book in the Old Testament, but one of the most convicting. Through the story of Edom's betrayal of Judah, Stephen unpacks how bitterness, gossip, and slander quietly tear apart families, friendships, and churches — and what Scripture calls us to do instead.

In This Episode:

• The historical context of Obadiah and Edom's family history with Israel
• The four-part structure of the prophecy: judgment, sin, the Day of the Lord, and restoration
• How James 3 and Matthew 12:34 connect the tongue to the condition of the heart
• Practical steps for addressing conflict biblically, straight from Matthew 18:15-16
• An invitation to repentance and reconciliation

Next Steps:

• Reach out to someone you've talked about instead of talked to — make the call, send the text, this week.
• Read Matthew 18:15-16 and James 3:1-12 as a follow-up this week.
• Talk with your family about what it looks like to "make the messy beautiful" in your own home.
