Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you work, you are going backwards? That is what it was like for the nation of Israel. They found out the hard way what reverse providence was. 

If you want God's blessings in your life, you need to put Him first and obey His Word.

Today's lesson is a timely reminder that things go best when we go God's way.

God asked Hosea to do the inconceivable, forgive and redeem his unfaithful wife. Hosea's marriage is a picture of God's relationship with Israel.

Gomer represents Israel's unfaithfulness and Hosea represents God's unconditional love. Representing God is a tall order. Was Hosea up for it?

Check out our Bible study on Hosea 3 to learn what love means, how to forgive, and faithfulness in action.

Israel turned to idolatry. They were repeatedly unfaithful. Judgment was coming. But God often holds judgment in one hand and mercy in another. 

Hosea 2:23 - And I will have mercy on No Mercy, and I will say to Not My People, You are my people’.

The good news is that God delights in showing mercy and forgiveness. That is great for us because it means His arms are open to welcome us back again.

The minor prophets are not often explored. But they are full of lessons for our lives today.

Hosea was not just a normal prophet with a normal message. His message would become larger than life as God used his very life as a visible object lesson. The book of Hosea is most famous for God’s command to Hosea to marry a lady who would later betray him. Hosea had to enter a covenant with her and commit himself to her, even knowing what she would become. The marriage picture of Hosea’s faithfulness and unconditional love, contrasted with Gomer’s treachery is a powerful depiction of God’s love and faithfulness to His people, and their faithlessness.

The book not only teaches us important history about Israel, but shows us amazing lessons of love, forgiveness, and commitment as well as justice. Practical lessons which are relevant to our lives today abound. Spouses will learn about the meaning of real love. Those with broken relationships will learn about forgiveness. And all will come to a deeper understanding of our own sin and a deeper appreciation of God’s mercy and grace, learning that the only place to find true fulfillment is in the arms of God.

Join us and see how God will change your life through His Word!

Suffering is not a topic many believers want to experience or even think about. Many believers in the world today have not experienced serious persecution.

But Christians in the early New Testament church did. We would be wise to prepare for the possibility today.

In this passage, Peter takes an in-depth look at suffering. What are the possible causes? How do we get through it? How are we to react to it?

Join this Bible study on 1 Peter 4:12-19 to prepare yourself to react the right way in case you suffer for Christ.

What is the difference between living in the Spirit and living in the flesh? This Bible study is on 1 Peter 3:8-22. It covers practical Christian living and reminds us that the the gospel changes lives.

After coming to Christ, we are not to be the same. The people we used to hang out with might be surprised by the differences in our lives. Yet Peter reminds us that once we turn from the world to Christ, we should never go back.
