The prophet Malachi ministered to the Jews who returned from exile. In 586 B.C., Jerusalem was utterly destroyed (see Lamentations), and the final deportations of captives were taken to Babylon. Some captives (about 50,000) began to return under the leadership of Zerubbabel (see Ezra, Haggai, and Zechariah). However, the 70-year captivity was not over until the temple was rebuilt and worship resumed in Jerusalem, in 516 B.C. (see 1Ki 8:46–53; Jer 32:36–37; Dan 6:1–17). Many of the sins cited by Malachi were already prominent in the time of Nehemiah (cf. Nehemiah 13) and were corrected by his reforms.
These notes are from the February 2011 conference on Malachi held in Florida.

Ephesians #40

Ephesians #40

Family emphasis -- relationships to the Father, the Son and each other (Joh 14:15-24, Eph 3:15). Restoration to fellowship is simple because Christ's work on the cross is complete; restoration is easy (Eph 5:18). The filling of the Spirit impacts wives, husbands, children and servants in the ways found in Eph 5:19-33. Four things our soul craves that were lost at the fall of Adam: (1) a sense of identity (we are much more than what we do), (2) a sense of acceptance with people, (3) a personal sense of value, and (4) a sense of purpose. Each member of the Godhead has a purpose that is seen in the role of a family.

Scripture References: John 14:15-24, Ephesians 5:19-33, Ephesians 5:18, Ephesians 3:15

More than any book Ephesians reveals the blessings from God based on our relationship with Jesus Christ by grace through faith. Eph 1:3 is the a key verse. Other key verses by chapter include Eph 2:8 Eph 3:19 Eph 4:1 Eph 5:18 and Eph 6:10-11.
