Hosea 8:1-14 Part 2 We looked at the first three signs that we may be sowing bad seed last week and will see the last 2 tonight. The first 3 were when WE ARE FALSLY SECURE IN OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH God; when WE CREATE OUR OWN POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS POWERS APART FROM GOD; and third, when WE RELY ON HUMAN STRENGTH apart from God. Tonight we will look at the last 2 signs of sowing bad seed and then discuss what we can do to avoid them.

Parables. The four soils. The Tares. The Mustard Seed. The leaven. And, why parables to begin with?

The sermon exhorts believers to view serving God not as a burdensome obligation but as a privileged opportunity to participate in His eternal work. Drawing from Luke chapter 10, the speaker emphasizes that the spiritual harvest belongs entirely to the Lord, who invites Christians to join Him as laborers in a hostile world. The central call is to pray earnestly for God to send more workers into His field rather than attempting to manufacture results through human effort alone. Believers are encouraged to trust in God's provision and protection while remaining faithful in planting and watering seeds of the gospel, regardless of immediate outcomes. Ultimately, the message offers comfort and motivation by highlighting the eternal rewards and joy found in faithfully serving the King of the Harvest.
