Rev. Joe preaches on Hosea 11:1-9, where God is likened to a father, and Israel to a son. Despite God's anger at Israel's injustice and rebellion, his mercy is stronger than his anger, and shows compassion. Rev. Joe talks about this popular metaphor of God as "father," but argues that God's emotions -- the pain, anger, love, and compassion felt by God and sympathized with by the prophets, is not metaphorical but a divine attribute. We have a God with emotions.
