Even though there is still prosperity in the land of Israel, the people are sinning more, but enjoying it less. Does that sound familiar? Dr. J. Vernon McGee gives us a front row seat to what happened in Hosea’s day, and how he thinks it parallels what’s going on in the world today.

Prosperity blinded Israel. And in our continuing study of Hosea our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, shares that he believes America’s prosperity has also led us to a false sense of security. Find out why as we travel the pages of Hosea chapter 8.

It is one thing to sin in secretthat is bad enoughbut it is even worse to bring your sin out in the open and flaunt it before the world. That’s the advice we’ll hear from Dr. J. Vernon McGee in our continuing study of the book of Hosea. Witness the wickedness of the kings and leaders in Hosea’s day and compare their similarities to those today.

The only sure foundation we have in this changing world is our Lord Jesus Christ. If you wonder what that means for the United States as a nation, and each of us personally, then you’ve come to the right place as our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, answers that question with clarity in this study of Hosea chapters 5 and 6.

You don’t get by with sin. That’s the message we hear loud and clear from Hosea chapter 5. Although God patiently waits, the time of judgment for each one of us will inevitably come.

As the northern kingdom of Israel turns away from God, we learn one valuable lesson: Listening to and obeying God’s Word is a protection on our lives.

Nothing good comes from turning our backs on God. It’s a sobering reality we see in the people of Israel in Hosea’s timeand also in our culture today.

As our study of the Old Testament book of Hosea continues, we learn we’ve got a lot in common with Israel. We also learn we need to be fixing our hope on the soon return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Join us in Hosea, chapter 3, for more of the intriguing story of Israel and how we can apply it to our lives as well.

A great many people think they can live the Christian life in their own strength, which always means defeat. That’s the wisdom our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, shares as we study how Joshua’s army got the victory at Jericho because God was leading the charge. But in their next battle against the small city of Ai, they were defeatedbecause they thought they could handle it on their own.

In Hosea, chapter 2, we’ll learn that even though Israel will be disciplined, God is not through with them. Hosea prophesies that after the day of judgment, there will be a great turning to God among all twelve tribes of Israel, and he comforts them by saying that one day God will call them My people once again.
