The Compassion Of God Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 21, 2022

The message of Hosea 11 is for you and me, not only wayward Israel. The family life of Hosea and his wife Gomers serve as is an illustration of how our sin breaks the heart of God. Now the focus is on God’s compassion and redemption.
