We just experienced a crazy week in a crazier year. 2020 is definitely weird and not good. Even though we are living in a great country there are cracks showing how there are bad things under the surface. The same was true for Israel during the time of Hosea. They were experiencing a golden age but there were bad things under the surface. God presents these things and concludes that the core problem is a lack of knowledge of God. This sermon explores how we face a similar problem today and challenges us to know God more.

11/29 Return to the Lord
November 29, 2020 • Jason Swick
In Hosea 14, Hosea encourages us to return to the Lord. In our world today with all the things going on this is a good encouragement. But how do we return to the Lord? Hosea 14 gives us words to bring to the Lord that are filled with repentance and hope. Then Hosea shares God's response and a final challenge in this great book to be wise, discerning, and to walk in the ways of the Lord
11/22 King Jesus
November 22, 2020 • Jason Swick
Who is king of your life? Is it Jesus or something or someone else? Is it hard to serve an unseen king? The Israelites struggled with having an unseen king too. In 1 Samuel 8, the Israelites asked to be like everyone else and have a visible king. We see how God felt about it in Hosea 13. Today we sing about a king & worship Jesus as king but what does that mean? We will explore what it means to be servants of King Jesus.
11/15 God Loves You No Matter What
November 15, 2020 • Jason Swick
Can you fathom how much God loves you? You know God loves you when you are good but what about when you sin, are selfish, and walk away from Him? This is the situation the Israelites are facing in Hosea 11. God called them out of Egypt & into a special relationship. Unfortunately, they consistently walked away from God. Then God calls Jesus out of Egypt to be the perfect Son. The example of what a trusting & loving relationship is with the Father. If you, or someone you know, are far from God listen to this message & be encouraged that God loves you no matter what. You are never too far gone to turn back to the loving Father.
