Introduction to Hosea
Key Messages from Markus Koch / Michael Ruppen
Markus Koch
- God has a desire for us and wants us to have the same desire for Him
- The marriage of Hosea and Gomer as illustration
- We have an increasing number of teflon Christians in our age
- What I set my heart on and what is important to me – that is my God! (Martin Luther)
Michael Ruppen
- God is reading the charges to us
- If we forget God in our lives, His wisdom will leave us.
- God wants our hearts more than sacrifices
- As Hosea purchased back Gomer, so God is purchasing us through Jesus.
Key Questions for Us
- Where do we trust worldly powers and things instead of fully trusting God? What are our idols?
- In what areas of our lives are we teflon Christians? Where are our dissatisfactions?
- Where do we forget God in our lives?
- How aware are we that God purchased our lives and is our main provider?
