Chai with Malachi guides readers through an encounter with “the Lord who rules over all.”
Chai with Malachi brings readers face-to-face with the sovereign God of past, present, and future, who keeps his promises to discipline and bless his people so that he will be known among the nations. Through penetrating use of rhetorical questions, “Lord Sabaoth”—the Lord of the angel armies—reveals the justice and mercy required for his people to spread his renown in all the earth. And with that revelation comes a promise that the “sun of righteousness will arise with healing in its wings.”
In the first three weeks in this study, readers go through the Book of Malachi itself. The final week, contributed by Malia Rodriguez, a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary, looks at the four hundred “silent years” that separate the Old and New Testaments.
Chai with Malachi and all the Coffee Cup Bible Study books contain Monday-through-Friday Bible study questions, along with devotional thoughts for lighter reading on the weekends. Designed for group or individual, male and female study.
“I have done this study twice now and love it.”
