Scandalous Love

December 5, 2021 • Gregg Parris • Hosea 3

Hosea 3:1-5

I. OUR INFIDELITY

II. TRUSTING THE PROMISE

III. PRACTICING SCANDALOUS LOVE

Do you really believe that God loves you madly, passionately, unconditionally?

God promises to bring good out of bad, to raise up the lowly, and to comfort the afflicted. How would you view your life if you trusted completely in those promises?

What would it mean for us to love others “scandalously?” How would that be different from the safe, cautious ways we often show Christ’s love in the world?
