Matthew 15:21-28. Here we see true faith is relentless, fearless, and refuses to settle-pressing through every obstacle to receive God’s breakthrough.

When looking at John the Baptist we see true and Biblical spiritual leadership-not one that leans for themselves, but one that answers a greater calling.

In Hosea 11:12-12:14, God compares the nation of Israel and the nation of Judah, while delivering messages (through the prophet) to both.

How did Jesus “mature” while being man and God? And, what lessons can we learn on how we should grow up?

Culture has shifted the church from a body that serves Jesus to consumers that boast in our brand.

In some of the most tender imagery Hosea has given us so far, God tells Israel that He holds them in His arms like children. We see the heart of God on display as He asks, "how can I give thee up?" We see the promises of God for the future of Israel. As you listen to this message, ponder the absolute and unwavering love that God has for you and be encouraged!

The greatest gift given to mankind shall be called Jesus-for He shall save His people from their sins.

Culture has shifted the church from being a body that cares for one another to a group that just assembles when I feel like it. Unfortunately, the sermon audio has been lost, but we have provided a brief summary of the message for your reflection and benefit as the series progresses.

Hosea chapter ten details what Israel is, and what Israel shall be. They had plowed two furrows next to each other: one to God and one to their idols. But God will not share His glory and Israel will reap what they had sown. The same thing is true in our own lives as well. God will not share His glory. The call to Israel was simple: now is the time to seek the Lord and sow righteousness. When this...

Even when pain locks the door and doubt clouds our faith, Jesus enters with scars to prove His love, calling each of us to a personal decision, not just to believe in Him, but to surrender and declare, “My Lord and my God.”

God chose Israel to be a special people. This unmerited favor was met with shocking betrayal as the people wandered from God to serve idols. In this lesson we see the devastating reward for wandering. The key lesson for us? We cannot continually sow to sin in our lives without harvesting the consequences. Join us as we look at some of the devastating rewards for Israel's wanderings.

Why did Jesus suffer and why should I care?

Missionary John Walz shares his testimony and a message out of John 15.

In Hosea 8, we see the law of sowing and reaping applied to the Israelites. They had sown to the wind and would reap the whirlwind. Just like in our own lives, they experienced the upfront and the hidden costs of sin. God had appointed a place and way of worship, but the people went their own way. Popular thought today says there are many roads to peace with God, but is this what the Bible says? J...

Paul shows us that the Christian begins with grace and continues with grit. By God's grace we can have the grit we need to finish our race well.

What a thought-Jesus came for everyone, including the lowly.

As God continues to lay out His case against Israel, we discover how badly He wanted to heal them. We also see how dead set Israel was to continue in her sins. God loves to rescue sinners and draw them to Himself. So much so, that if we die in our sins, we cannot lay that at His feet. Through several different word pictures, Hosea reveals to Israel that their refusal to be healed caused them to be...

Let’s look at the faith an unnamed slave girl who had great faith in spite of her heartbreaking circumstances (Kids Sunday).

The Humble King-Luke 2:1-7. A powerful king is now in authority of the modern world but he is no match for the King who is coming to be born

Coming home to the Lord is sometimes the hardest thing to do, but it is absolutely the best thing for us. God shows us His heart for His people in Hosea 6, and the message is clear: God's correction is for our benefit. He wounds Israel to bind her up. At the end of the day, Israel missed the heart of the matter. Simply put, God wants the heart - the inner man. God is far more concerned with who we...

Many of us experience times when God feels distant. While we know that God will never leave or forsake us, did you know that there are ways to prepare your life for His presence? There are some conditions for God’s active presence in our lives. Join us as we look at four things we can check up on as we prepare our lives for His presence.

Oftentimes, God calls us to be active when we least expect or “feel” like it. We may find ourselves saying, like Ezra did, “at such a time!?” In those moments when helping others falls outside of our talents and timeline, extending grace is what we are called to do.

In Hosea 5, God utters two phrases over Israel. The first is, "I know," and the second is, "I will go." With these two phrases, God tells the people that He is aware of their determination toward sin and His own determination in their judgment. For those who are in Christ, the blessed truth is that God knows you wholly and love you completely. The judgment for your sin was poured out upon the Lord...

As we look ahead to our future home, we learn of a few principles about faithfulness in giving.

Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD…before the promised Messiah even arrives, we see praise to the Lord.
