Malachi 2:1–9

1 "Priests, this rule is for you.

2 Listen to me! Pay attention to what I say.

Show honor to my name. If you don't respect

my name, bad things will happen to you. You

will say blessings, but they will become

curses. I will make bad things happen

because you

Will You Listen?

Malachi 2:1–9

don't show respect for my name." This is

what the LORD All-Powerful said. 3 "Look,

I will punish your descendants. During the

festivals, you priests offer sacrifices to me.

You take the dung and inside parts from

the dead animals and throw them away.

But I will smear the

Will You Listen?

Malachi 2:1–9

dung on your faces, and you will be thrown

away with it! 4 Then you will learn why I am

giving you this command. I am telling you

these things so that my agreement with Levi

will continue." This is what the LORD All-

Powerful said.

Will You Listen?

Malachi 2:1–9

5 The Lord said, "I made that agreement with

Levi. I promised to give him life and peace--

and I gave him those things. Levi respected

me and showed honor to my name.

Will You Listen?

Malachi 2:1–9

6 He taught the true teachings and didn't teach

lies. Levi was honest, and he loved peace. He

followed me and saved many people from

being punished for the evil things they did.

Will You Listen?

Malachi 2:1–9

7 A priest should know God's teachings.

People should be able to go to a priest and

learn God's teachings. A priest should be the

LORD'S messenger to the people.

Will You Listen?

Malachi 2:1–9

8 "But you priests stopped following me! You

used the teachings to make people do wrong.

You ruined the agreement with Levi." This is

what the LORD All-Powerful said.

Will You Listen?

Malachi 2:1–9

9 "You don't live the way I told you. You

have not accepted my teachings. So I will

cause people to hate you and think you are

worth nothing."

WHAT IS THE

BIBLE’S TONE?

Will You Listen?

How many of you have misunderstood

a communication, a letter, an e-mail, a

text because you didn’t hear the tone.

There was no facial expression or

emotion behind it. You didn’t have

access to that so you

misrepresented—you misinterpreted

the information.

Will You Listen?

Will You Listen?

BIBLE, SOMETIMES

IT’S LIKE A WEDDING

Will You Listen?

SOME SECTIONS OF THE

BIBLE ARE LIKE A

FUNERAL

Will You Listen?

THERE ARE OTHER

TIMES THAT IT’S MORE

LIKE A CLASSROOM

Will You Listen?

SOMETIMES THE TONE

OF THE BIBLE IS MORE

LIKE A HALF-TIME

SPEECH BY A COACH

Will You Listen?

COMMANDING

AND

DEMANDING

Will You Listen?

AT OTHER TIMES,

THE BIBLE IS MORE LIKE A

DRILL SERGEANT.

WHEN AVOIDING

CONFLICT IS A

BAD THING

For many of you, there are areas of

your life God can’t speak into because

you don’t want to change? You’re not

listening. And what God wants to do

with the leaders is get them to change

and then be agents of change to go

teach others what it’s like to change.
