Why do we struggle to learn from the past? And how do we change our trajectory? As we close out the book of Hosea today, we’re going to take a look at three examples from Israel's past in chapters 12-13… 1) their forefather, Jacob; 2) the wilderness wanderings; and 3) their desire for a king. And we’ll see some valuable takeaways in each of these examples that still apply to us today…if we’re willing to learn from the past! And then we’ll take a look at a beautiful promise for the future in chapter 14 that is meant to motivate us toward change. 

Why did God continue to show grace to Jonah? He was a disobedient and selfish prophet. Why did God continue to show grace to Israel even though they continue to turn their back on God? Why does God continue to show grace to you and I even though we ignore him, we are selfish at times, we are prone to wander? Why does God continue to show us grace?
