Return: The Minor Prophets | Part 1: Introduction & Hosea | Jason Montano

The story of God with His people is a repetitive one: during time of prosperity people lose their love of God, God punishes, they return. We see God’s unwavering patience once again in the book of Hosea. This prophet was asked to do something very unique. He was to marry a prostitute to show the people of Israel what their relationship with God looks like. Hosea’s wife cheats on him and leaves him, only to have him forgive and buy her back. God’s view of sin is serious and deep, and his love for his children is on display over and over again.
