     | 1,003 views

    This is the story of Hosea and Gomer, a picture of God’s incredible love for His people, and ultimately, His love for you and me. Hosea was a prophet of God, a man called to proclaim the truth. But God didn’t just want him to preach—He wanted him to live out his message.

    Expository Sermon: Hosea and Gomer – Unfaithful Yet Loved Title: " Unfaithful Yet Loved" Text: Hosea 3:1 – “The Lord said to me, ‘Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another and is an adulteress.

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Nov 19, 2003
    based on 68 ratings
     | 8,161 views

    In the parable of the great banquet Jesus gives us a graphic warning about excusing ourselves from God’s feast of salvation in time and in eternity.

    “Are you looking for just the right excuse for a certain situation? Ask your pastor he has heard them all.” Although more of joke than advice there is some truth to it. Pastors do hear a lot of excuses. But I think it would be more correct to say that only God has truly heard all the excuses ...read more

    Though this book is, for the most part, about the main character (Ruth), let us also observe how this story unfolds for a second character, another woman named Naomi – Ruth’s mother-in-law. We shall look at four reasons why Naomi went from sweet to bitter

    Intro: The Book of Ruth is rich in interesting paradoxes. It opens with a terrible famine and closes with a great feast. It begins with three sad funerals and ends with one happy wedding. In it we see some excellent examples of faith, patience, humility, industry, and kindness in the common events ...read more
