In this Part 1, Pastor Stuart McAlpine helps us reflect on Hosea's obedience following the command of God, He married Gomer, a bride God described as “a wife of harlotry” (Hosea 1:2 ESV) and a woman who bore Hosea three children, two sons and a daughter. God used the names of Hosea’s children, along with his wife’s unfaithfulness, to send specific messages to the people of Israel.
The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.
Pastor Stuart McAlpine presents a sermon on The Acceptables and helps us reflect on Psalm 69:13 (ESV)
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.1 Corinthians 2:16 (ESV)
