Hosea: A Prophetic Call to Return to Faithfulness
In the prophetic book of Hosea, God confronts Israel’s spiritual betrayal. By instructing the prophet Hosea to intentionally marry an unfaithful, promiscuous woman, God shows Israel how they strayed from their relationship with him. In this Groundwork series, we’ll discuss Hosea and the unique message from God he brought to Israel through his marriage to Gomer. Together, we’ll see different sides of God’s heart as we examine his scathing judgments of Israel’s idolatry and the grace he offers when he invites his people to “Return to me.” Then, we’ll discuss what we can learn about our own hearts from this story and how this ancient prophecy still calls us to return to God today.
