Hosea Chapters 5-6 – God Pursues a Sinful Nation. The situation in Israel is dire! Everyone does what is right in their own eyes and commits spiritual adultery against God. In Hosea’s day people still went to church, and still offered sacrifices; but their vain religion caused their hearts to be far from the Lord. Like Israel, how can America and the individual sinner return to God? Don’t miss the profound truth in God’s Word, which reveals the essential nature of true repentance resulting in healing reconciliation. If you’re stuck in sin and desire a path back into a right relationship with Jesus, listen to Pastor David’s restorative sermon, Hosea 5-6 – God Pursues a Sinful Nation!

TWO PATHS IN LIFE
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.”

We must not let society shape our views / values.We must shape societies views / values.
IT’S WISE TO REGULARLY EXAMINE OUR MOTIVES
GENUINE REPENTANCE the response God wants from us
TRUE REPENTANCE BRINGS RECONCILIATION WITH GOD AND HEALING OF WOUNDS
Go and learn what this means: I DESIRE MERCY AND NOT SACRIFICE I DESIRE GODLY CHARACTER, NOT VAIN RELIGION
HOSEA REMINDS US GOD LOVES US, AND SEEKS TO REDEEM US, even when we’ve turned away from Him
