Hosea 6:7

As Christians, we are free from being slaves of sin and are empowered to radically follow Jesus with our lives. Through daily surrender, in persistent pursuit to become more like Jesus, you can become the person that God has created you to be. Join me over these next three days and discover what it looks like for you to follow Jesus with your whole life! Jesus gave His life for you, so that you could live your life for Him!

Have you ever wondered what your calling in life is? It is an important question to ask oneself. And what better place to answer this important question than to look at how Jesus called his first disciples, as recorded in the Gospels. As we discover God’s calling on our lives, we will allow Jesus to rearrange our priorities – and it all starts with a relationship, with following him.

Hosea speaks into a time of political unrest and misplaced worship. Israel enjoyed wealth and influence, yet turned from the Lord to Baal, a false god promising prosperity and fertility. God called Hosea to marry Gomer so His people could see His heart: a faithful God pursuing an unfaithful people. As you read through Hosea, this book study will help you see the depth of God’s love, the seriousness of sin, and the hope that comes through repentance and restoration.

God used Hosea to powerfully communicate His anguish towards the nation of Israel due to their continued idol worship. Hosea’s life and ministry show both the heart-breaking cost of idolatry as well as the lengths to which God will go to redeem His sinful people back to Him. This book reminds us that despite our sinful idolatry, God is always faithful.
