Does God Have Feelings?

Contributed by Tony Grant on Oct 17, 2005

The God of the Bible is a God of feelings. God is angry at our sins; God is in tears when he gives up an unrepentant sinner to hell.

Sow The Wind Reap The Whirlwind Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Nov 2, 2005

There is no faithfulness steadfast love or knowledge of God. This is the fault of poor teaching by the priests and bad leadership by the nations secular leaders. It results in false religion and false hope.

The prophecy of Hosea begins with a dramatic enactment by Hosea of the relationship between God and his people Israel. It’s a shocking revelation of the unfaithfulness of a people who should have known better, who had had every opportunity to get their act together and to worship God faithfully but ...read more

"Gutsy Love"

Contributed by Gregory Mc Donald on Feb 10, 2010

The message this morning is simple yet quite profound. Some of you may be guilty of spiritual adultery. You've made a covenant with God, a promise to love Him and serve Him...but you've broken that...you no longer have the desire to remain true to Him.

"GUTSY LOVE" HOSEA 1:1 11 The main concern of the prophets was to communicate to Israel what it meant to be Israel...or to put it in a better way...they were concerned with the nature and mission of the church. Israel had vowed to give herself to God and the way they would stay true to Him was ...read more

Notice that I didn't ask, "Do you believe that He exists...or do you believe in Him... I didn't ask if you are trying to live a good moral ...read more

Starting Over With God

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 13, 2010

God, though He is a god of wrath, also gives Himself permission to start over with us; we ought to take a cue from that and give ourselves permission to start over in our relationship with Him.

Did you ever start something and then find that it was going so badly, it was such a mess, you just wished you could just start all over again? You started down some path, you knew it was a mistake, but you got so invested in it you felt you had to see it through, even though it was getting worse ...read more

Do The Dew (Of Heaven!)

Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Oct 3, 2012

A sermon talking about spiritual experiences that are more comparable to dew than downpours. Dew falls silently, saturates and penetrates, satisifies completely, and is just as valid as a spritual downpour.

Do the Dew (of Heaven!) (Note to pastors, here is a link for a "Dew" commercial where the thrust is that you can’t do life without your dew. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlKVbt8K7kY) Ho 14:4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.

God Knows When You’re Done

Contributed by Gregory Thomas on Jan 31, 2011

Instead of Epraim depending on God for stability He formed alliances with the people instead of him being a shepherd he became as sheep. The "cake not turned" was burnt on one side and raw on the other. A metaphor for just how mixed up their lives were.

God Knows When You’re Done Hosea 7:8 The idea is of a “half-baked” cake. In that day, bread was often prepared as a cake that was cooked on both sides, something like a pancake. In thinking they can serve both the Lord and idols, Israel is like an unturned pancake - burned on one side, uncooked ...read more

The Lord was willing to be a loving husband to an unfaithful wife (ch. 1–3) and a dedicated father to a rebellious son (ch. 11). Hosea described how the people had turned away from God, how they stop loving and being faithful to Him, their religion had become a religion of words and ...read more
