This podcast is based on the the prayer for the week. 

 Grant us so to hear (scripture)them, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest them, that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life.  For when we study scripture what we find are the primary truths. 1. God created all that is . 2. God wishes to restore creation to unity with God. 3. God is faithful and fulfills God's promises. And 4. Righteousness on the part of humanity is to trust in God's faithfulness even in when in the midst of life's trials. 

Readings: 

• Malachi (4:1-2a),  
• Psalm 98, 
• Paul's second letter to the church in Thessalonika (3:6-13)
