from First Baptist Joplin · host Ed Barlow
Ed Barlow | Hosea 2:16-20 This powerful message centers on the Hebrew word 'chesed' - a covenant love that costs everything yet gives freely. Through the dramatic story of Hosea and Gomer, we encounter a stunning portrait of divine love that refuses to let go. We are the unfaithful bride who has wandered away time and again, yet God pursues us with relentless love, paying the ultimate price through Christ's blood. The early church was known by pagans who marveled, 'See how they love one another.' That same chesed should overflow from us today, breaking the transactional patterns of worldly love and demonstrating the covenantal faithfulness we've received.
