Hosea: God's Faithfulness in Christ - Consistent Love
Our text this week exposes the rom-com drama of God’s people. We engage, we disengage, then in desperation, we reengage. We’re fickle and dramatic. We treat God like a plate that we need to keep spinning, a meter we need to keep running, a deity we need to keep satisfied lest we incur His anger and lose His benefits. Israel runs back to the Lord for a quick fix, inserting a few more coins in the meter. God groans, saying, What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes early away (Hosea 6:4).
What does God desire? He says, For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings (Hosea 6:6). How do we change this cycle and offer steadfast love to God? Join us Sunday as we worship the One who loves God with all His heart, soul, and might.
