Pastor Dave's Sermon from 11/12/23: “Sermon Series: Saints and Sinners" (part 2) Scripture Reading: Hosea 11:1-9
SCRIPTURE READING: Hosea 11:1-9 1When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. 2The more I called them, the more they went from me; they kept sacrificing to the Baals, and offering incense to idols. 3Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk, I took them up in my arms; but they did not know that I healed them. 4I led them with cords of human kindness, with bands of love. I was to them like those who lift infants to their cheeks. I bent down to them and fed them. 5They shall return to the land of Egypt, and Assyria shall be their king, because they have refused to return to me. 6The sword rages in their cities, it consumes their oracle-priests, and devours because of their schemes. 7My people are bent on turning away from me. To the Most High they call, but he does not raise them up at all. 8How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, O Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart recoils within me; my compassion grows warm and tender. 9I will not execute my fierce anger; I will not again destroy Ephraim; for I am God and no mortal, the Holy One in your midst, and I will not come in wrath.

Scripture Reading: Hosea 6:1-6 A good portion of the book of Hosea is a catalogue of and denunciation of the sins of the nation of Israel. The primary, and foundational, sin that is highlighted in this book is idolatry. But when God is rejected, the manifestation of spiritual darkness is manifold. Hosea 4:2 cites lying, murder, stealing, adultery, and bloodshed. Life in Israel had degraded to a heartbreaking level of corruption. Perhaps, surprisingly, although Israel was wholeheartedly given to its sins, the people continued to offer sacrifices to God and perform other religious rituals. God directly confronts this hypocrisy in Hosea 6:6. “For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God, rather than burnt offerings.” The problem with the Israelites was not that they were not religious. On the contrary, they were very religious. No, the problem was that they were not righteous. Their multiplied ceremonies did not grow out of a love for God nor out of a heartfelt pursuit to know Him and obey his commands. This is very instructive for us. There is a kind of empty shell of worship forms that does not result in a pursuit of righteousness in someone's life. Such forms are not worship at all, but a mockery of God Himself. Let us plead with God to give us purer hearts in our worship, and a deeper pursuit of righteousness in our living.
Scripture Reading: Hosea 1-3 The unique feature of the book of Hosea is the personal story with which it begins. Hosea is commanded by God to marry a woman (Gomer) who would be unfaithful to him. This marriage was a symbol of the unfaithfulness of the people of Israel to God. Gomer gave birth to three children, whose names all had symbolic meaning. The first son, Jezreel, referred to the valley of Jezreel, where God would judge Israel for its bloodshed. The daughter's name was Lo-ruhama, which is, in English, 'no mercy'. The days would come when God would withdraw His mercy from Israel. The third child was named Lo-ammi, which is, in English, 'not my people'. The days would come when it would appear that Israel was no different than any other nation. Divine judgment would be harsh. The climax to the story of Hosea's marriage appears in chapter 3. Gomer had left Hosea and now Hosea is commanded to buy his wayward wife and love her "even as the LORD loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods" (Hos 3:1). This is the story, not only of the promise of God to restore Israel, but of the grace of God in conversion of everyone whom He saves. Alluding to Hosea 1:10 and 2:23, Peter says, of Gentile Christians, "Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy" (1 Pet 2:10). How thankful and joyful we should be for God's undeserved mercy … lavishly bestowed on our wayward, rebellious hearts.

In this Lenten series, we will consider the various major themes and imagery used by the minor prophets who prophesy to God's people in Israel and Judah. These prophets sought to make known the reasons for and our experiences of that coming day (Note: We will not engage Obadiah or Nahum, as each is a prophecy against other nations) Lent, a season of contemplation on sin and forgiveness, leads us to long for the work Jesus accomplished––a work we celebrate on Good Friday and Easter. This series will show how the suffering and injustice in us and around us ought to cause us to long for Jesus, the Lord of that coming day. This Week: As Israel was like an unfaithful spouse to the Lord, so often do we also wander from our first love. In Lent, we remember our wanderings and return to the Lord.

Then they started to look for him among their relatives and friends. 45 When they did not find him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 When his parents saw him they were astonished; and his mother said to him, “Child, why have you treated us like this? Look, your father and I have been searching for you in great anxiety.” 49 He said to them, “Why were you searching for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?” 50 But they did not understand what he said to them. 51 Then he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. His mother treasured all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and in years, and in divine and human favor.Scripture Reading: Colossians 3:12-1712 As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. 13 Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
