God often leads His people into the wilderness—a place of trials, troubles, and temptation. He doesn’t lead us there because He’s against us or to punish us, but to reveal Himself and prepare us for the good plans He has for us. As hard as desert seasons can be, God uses these times in Scripture and in our lives to prove His faithfulness and grow our faith in Him. Through these biblical characters—Hagar, Moses, David, Elijah, and Hosea—we learn ways God worked for His people in the wilderness.

God wants to be in relationship with you, and he has revealed many word pictures which describe the designs for his desired relationship! Delve into this plan and learn what it really means to be a child, friend, spouse, servant, and follower of God.

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.
