This living exposition of Malachi’s word gives one of the best and broadest pic tures of the end time and our place in it. It interrelates the coming perfect worship with the present refining of the worshipers, and describes the impending fire of judgment on the wicked.

The refiners fire for the worshiper–the furnace fire for the wicked! (57 min.)

CAIN’S SIN
May 23, 1976 Sunday A.M. Ana.

THE COVENANT BASKET
December 27, 1975 Saturday P.M. Seattle
This message is similar to “And Everyone Bring a Basket” which came December 14 in South Gate. The differences in the two messages are in the fantastically superior picture of our relationships as it is presented in this message.

THANKSGIVING: A BASIC INGREDIENT TO THE WILL OF GOD
December 28, 1975 Sunday P.M. Seattle

WINNER OR LOSER?
December 1, 1974 Sunday P.M. SoG.
If we sense our stewardship now and are faithful to it, we will be ready to assume authority later. The steward is aware that he belongs to the Lord.

We view the things that happen to us–circumstances, chastenings, problems–as restrictions upon our lives.
