Today we begin the book of Hosea: in it we explore man's rebellious heart, and God's enduring love. In this book sermon we explore the whole book of Hosea in summary fashion, and ask the question: "do you have a heart to know God?"

Last week we considered the character of Joseph, from his reports to his dreams. This week we consider the response of Joseph's brothers, and use this to paint a picture of the nature of envy, both in our hearts, and even in society at large.

Jesus speaks in Mark 16:17-18 about signs that will follow those that believe. This is a controversial passage in the church, which we are going to think through in our time together.

Genesis 37 introduces us to Joseph, and the picture we receive is not necessarily flattering. In our time together today we consider our first impressions of Joseph's character, and lessons we can learn from them.

As we conclude the gospel of Mark, we are drawn by the writer back to the same theme we have seen throughout: Jesus is the Son of God with all authority, and it is our call to believe that.

We move from the life of Jacob to the life of Joseph. As the narrative begins, we find that the sons of Jacob are living in the consequences of various sinful choices. This sets the foundation for what will come, and we consider it together today.

Most modern translations tell us that Mark 16:9-20 are not in the oldest and best manuscripts. Then do they belong in our Bibles? We consider the history and philosophy together.

Today is a transitional message between the life of Jacob and Esau, and that of the sons of Jacob. In this time God once again establishes His character as "the Almighty God", which we consider in our time together.

Jacob has settled into the land of Canaan once again. Some time after, his daughter Dinah goes out to see the daughters of the land, and a man named Shechem defiles here. We discuss this terrible event in our time together today.

The Bible tells us how the church began. The Bible tells us the church's commission. The Bible specifies the qualifications for the church's officers. But what is a church? We answer that question from Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 12 today.
