Advent Series - Harlot

Hosea 1:1-2

For this year’s Advent, we will explore through the book of Hosea.  Though it may seem rather unconventional, its main theme of God’s mercy, salvation, redemption, and His endless love is only appropriate for us to contemplate during this season.  God powerfully communicates His love and plan for His beloved nation by allowing prophet Hosea to parallel the experience of marrying a wife who is unfaithful.  Today, we establish the backdrop of how Israel’s harlotry mirrors our depravity before God.
