Once Upon a Marriage Week 4: Unfailing Love (Hosea & Gomer)
There's nothing quite like a juicy love story...the romance, the intrigue, and maybe a little scandal. We're digging in to some of the greatest biblical marriages to see what we can learn. Travel back in time with us for "Once Upon a Marriage." This sermon explores the crazy marriage of the prophet Hosea and his promiscuous wife, Gomer, and it is an amazing reminder of God's unfailing love to us.
