Jesus, The One Who Was Given (Isaiah 9:1-6)

Christ was the child that was born and the Son who was given that would change everything for us.

Jesus, The One Who Reigns (Revelation 19:1-16)

We should worship God as He is, as He deserves, and as He desires because He is our sovereign King who has rightful authority over us.

Jesus, the One Who Intercedes (Hebrews 4:14-5:10)

We should look away from ourselves and our circumstances and look to Jesus our Great High Priest.

Jesus, the One Who Speaks (Deuteronomy 18:15-19)

He was promised.  He came.  He is coming again.  Until then, He speaks through what He has already spoken.  So we should listen to Him, not only this season but every season.

Repentance Unto Life (Hosea 12-14)

The final word is not a word of judgment but a word of repentance and restoration.

The Love of the Father (Hosea 9-11)

To this point, the relationship between God and His people had been described as a marriage, with God being the faithful husband and His people being the unfaithful wife.  But here the relationship is described as one between God, who is a loving father, and His people, who were an ungrateful and rebellious son.

The Danger of Self-Reliance (Hosea 8)

Whether in times of joy or sadness, or in seasons of adversity or prosperity, Christ alone is the One upon whom we should call and the One upon whom we should depend.

No Escape, Only Rescue (Hosea 5-7)

Today, the Lord still desires for us to earnestly seek Him, and the evidence of our earnestness is the same as it was for Israel. 

A Supreme Court Case: Jehovah vs. Israel (Hosea 4)

Hosea 4 is a warning to us all to repent of our sins and turn to Christ, because those who obstinately continue in sin walk directly into judgment, but all who turn in faith to Christ will not receive judgment but everlasting life.

Love Is A Verb (Hosea 3)

Hosea's goal was Gomer's reformation and their marriage’s restoration.  And we know that because they were meant to be a picture that pointed to something greater.

A Love That Won't Let Go (Hosea 2:2-23)

The Lord warned Israel.  He disciplined them as well.  He also sought to affectionately woo them back to Him.

An Unfaithful Wife (Hosea 1:2-2:1)

The relationship between Hosea and Gomer was to be a real-time drama that symbolized and pointed to the faithlessness of Israel and the faithfulness of God who is the God of the guilty.
