In this incredibly practical passage from James we are challenged to listen carefully to God first, and then each other. To speak deliberately and in love. To keep control of our anger.

Hosea 14:1-9 by Robertson Anglican Church

A healthy marriage will be one characterised by humility and true repentance. As we continue through the story of Hosea and his marriage to an unfaithful wife, we are taught again of what must characterise our relationship with God.

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! In Hosea we see the 8th century prophet living out the amazing story of God's grace. This reflects the love God has for his adulterous people, and us.

Hosea 2:14-13 by Robertson Anglican Church

Hosea 2:2-13 by Robertson Anglican Church

God's people have rejected Him. They have been unfaithful. He wants to call them back, but words alone will not get the message across. The prophet Hosea is called to 'act out' the Father's love for his adulterous people. This is the first in our new series on Hosea, a book of judgement and hope.

There are times when as Christians in our faithlessness our hearts lose hope. When God's rule and relevance is openly challenged. When even leaders and politicians, in open rebellion, plot against God. What is God doing and why does He let it continue? Psalm 2 addresses this very question.

What does it mean to choose a life that is blessed and where do we find our strength.

This is the final week looking at Paul's first letter to the young Thessalonian church, 1 Thessalonians 5:12-28. We see that through the growth of faith, hope and love, Jesus brings about genuine change in the hearts of His people.
