One Hope Podcast

This week we center around the book of Joel and the major theme that flows out of Joel which has to do with making sense out of suffering tragedies in our lives and in world. Click the Podcast Audio link for some further background and for unpacking that main theme a bit more.

As you do the readings for the week, note that they are all related in some way to God's absolute sovereignty in history, in our lives and in salvation. Wrestle with these texts and also ask the question: how do we balance these texts with other passages that speak of human responsibility to turn away from sin and to turn toward God?

And then be sure to listen to our Saturday podcast which will be a round table discussion of the week's texts by some of the folks on our podcast team!

Sunday Joel 1:1-4,2:4-13

Monday Isaiah 45:1-22

Tuesday Romans 8:18-31

Wednesday Lamentations 3:22-40

Thursday Job 38:1-18;42:1-6

Friday Ephesians 1:3-14

On Saturday of each week of this podcast series, instead of a reading we release a round table discussion via video and audio of various folks from our podcast team. Here's the first one discussing Hosea. Enjoy!

Scripture: Hosea 3:1-5

This week we are centering around the book of Hosea and the major theme that flows out of Hosea comparing our relationship with God to a marriage relationship and our sin of idolatry (in all its various forms) to the sin of adultery. This kicks off a series of readings for the week. As you do the readings for the week, be asking the question, "How do these readings all tie together and relate to the central theme of Hosea?"
