”Prophets & Losses: Hosea” - Pastor Erin Arruda

As we continue our series on Prophets and Losses, we look closely at propet Hosea and his marriage to Gomer, who was a prostitute. It's an illustration which ultimately reveals God's renewed vow to love Israel even in her unfaithfulness. This Old Testament story now compels us, by the Gospel of Jesus, to see this narrative from a deeper perspective. And to ask two questions: Like Hosea, am I willing to sacrifice my reputation and what people might think or assume, to share God's message? Like Gomer, do I seek out other lovers? Join us as we are challenged to understand the depth of the Father's renewed covenant with us, the invitation to break up with every other lover, and to crave the love of Jesus more than anything else.
