Beyond the Wreckage of Spiritual Malpractice

April 15, 2026

Summary

Our spiritual lives too easily drift into hollow platitudes and empty rituals. Malachi 2 contrasts the ancient devotion of Levi with the religious routine of the day. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller unpacks the fourfold priestly calling to walk, teach, pray, and sacrifice. Discover why God’s white-hot pursuit of holiness leaves no room for selective truth. 

This is part two of the sermon, “Misleading Ministers.”
