HOSEA – Judgement Made, But Victory Through God, the Savior

July 23, 2023 /

I desire faithful love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God instead of entirely burned offerings.

Hosea 6:6 (ceb)

Hosea 13:14 is quoted in 1 Corinthians 15. There part of the passage is explained and fulfilled: yes, death and the grace have some success, but the ultimate victory is ours through Jesus!

The kingdom of Israel didn’t know that ultimate fulfillment, but they did know that God was their Savior in Egypt, and that should have guided their heart and actions.

Yet, they didn’t, and they paid a heavy price.

Victory over death and the grave – and everything else – has been given to us through Jesus! Let us live in that joyful, glorious, and everlasting reality!

“Thank You, Lord, for that victory in Jesus!”

HOSEA – The Heart of the Father

July 16, 2023 /

I desire faithful love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God instead of entirely burned offerings.

Hosea 6:6 (ceb)

Chapter 11 is the most tender one in the book. It shows a loving Father whose heart breaks at the rebellion of His beloved Israel and what is in store. It shows that He loves and will restore His people in the end.

We see this restoration not just in the return of the remnant later, but ultimately in Jesus, who restores with right relationships and for all time!

“Heavenly Father, create in us new hearts, like Yours, and remind us of the joy of our salvation in Jesus, where the results of our prodigal hearts are forever reversed.”

  • Hosea 11
  • Luke 15:11-32

HOSEA – Beware Prosperity!

July 9, 2023 /

I desire faithful love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God instead of entirely burned offerings.

Hosea 6:6 (ceb)

There is something to be said for the strength that comes from a persecuted Church. In times of distress, it’s much easier to call upon the name of the Lord. Conversely, when times are prosperous and good, we often forget God. We forget His goodness; His grace; His blessings. We can easily fall into complacency and loose sight of Him.

This happened during some of the prosperous times in Israel and, in it, they forgot God (just as He warned).

“Lord, in good times and bad, may we always Call upon and depend upon You!”

Help some kids get ready for school!

Some clients of the Sealy Pregnancy Resource Center need help with school supplies for some of their kids.

You can help!

There is a display at the back of the sanctuary. There you will find some names of some of these children, along with the school they are attending.

The process is simple:

  1. Pick a Name
  2. Buy a Backpack
  3. Fill with Supplies from School List
  4. Attach Name & Return by July 23

That’s it!

Thank you for being a positive influence and help for those who need it!

HOSEA – Sow the Wind? Reap the Whirlwind!

July 2, 2023 /

I desire faithful love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God instead of entirely burned offerings.

Hosea 6:6 (ceb)

It seems too harsh for us to consider God punishing the ones He loves. But most of the time, this punishment is simply the natural consequences of our stubborn idolatries, allegiances, desires, and addictions. They are the result of God “giving us over” to what we say we want.

You want to serve other gods? Go, be in their care!

You want to lust after others? Deal with the failed relationships and diseases that follow.

Should we choose our way rather than God’s, He won’t stop us; and woe to us if that happens!

“Lord, forgive us when we demand our own way and bring us back to Yours – always!”

“Unbelievable Faith Occurrences” — A BridgeKidz Series

June 28, 2023 /

Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With people, this is impossible. But with God, all things are possible.

Matthew 19:26 (NIrV)

A new BridgeKidz series, starting July 2: “Unbelievable Faith Occurrences!”

Kids will learn, “With God, all things are possible”...as long as we have faith.

To some, a person with a strong faith in God can seem like a visitor from another planet. But those of us who put our faith in Him have experienced the incredible things that God can do.

Join us for this series, July 2-23!

HOSEA – True Repentance & Trust

June 25, 2023 /

I desire faithful love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God instead of entirely burned offerings.

Hosea 6:6 (ceb)

Chapter 6 looks promising: God’s people repenting!

But this repentance is neither heartfelt nor long-lived.

And right after we see that their trust is grossly misplaced: not in God but in the strength and allegiances they have with other nations.

This is idolatry!

Trust in God! He is the only One who can, has, and will continue to save! He is the only One in whom we are to trust; and He is always faithful!

For us the question becomes: “will we trust in the One He sent us, Jesus, or is the seeming strength of other people or things?”

May our Trust in Jesus be ever true – and our repentance sincere when we fail!
