In week two of the Hosea series at Cherry Hills Community Church, Pastor Curt Taylor shared a message about the tough love of God. He reminded the church that God’s love is not just gentle and kind but also strong enough to confront sin and call us back when our hearts drift away. Using Hosea’s story, Pastor Curt explained how we can look faithful on the outside yet be far from God on the inside. God’s discipline, he said, is never meant to punish us out of anger but to bring us back into relationship with Him. The sermon invited everyone to see God’s correction as an act of mercy from a Father who loves us too much to leave us where we are.
