Message
MAJOR MESSAGES FROM THE MINOR PROPHETS
“A Snapshot of a Beautiful, Unsettling Story”
Hosea 1:1-3:3
Introduction: God uses the Minor Prophets to convey Major Messages to His people- not just Then, but even Now.
A Greater Context
- The Private story of a Prophet: Hosea
- The Historical story of a Nation: Israel
- The Personal story of a Sinner: Us
- The Gospel story of a Savior: Jesus
An Unsettling Command (Hosea 1:2)
- God uses Prophets not just to Proclaim the Message, but to Personify the Message.
A Wayward Condition (Hosea 1:3-9)
- God Identifies our Wayward Condition:
- “Scattered”, “No Mercy”, “Not My People”
A Religious Cover-Up (Hosea 2:13)
- Hypocrisy: Outwardly “Perfect”, but Inwardly Profane
A Beautiful Cost (Hosea 2:14-3:3)
- The Cross isn’t just “The” Cross, it’s “Our” Cross
The Major Message: Redemption (Hosea 1:10-2:1)
- God brought the pain and the wrath so that we would not be Rejected by a Holy God, but Redeemed by a Loving Savior.
- Jesus has given Us a New Identity:
- “Not My People” becomes “Family”
- “Scattered” becomes “Gathered”
- “No Mercy” becomes “Mercy”
