    Hosea Redeems His Wife

    This morning we continue in our study through the book of Hosea as we consider Hosea 3:1-5. We see in Hosea 3, what the love of God is like. We’re confronted with a love that seems unreasonable, emotionally risky, and intellectually scandalous. We learn about the love of God that's reflected in Hosea. Through Hosea, we see a love that pursues the unlovely, pays the costly price of redemption, and promises restoration after a season of discipline and purification. Ultimately, this love is fulfilled and displayed in Jesus Christ. God shows His love for us in Jesus' redeeming us on the cross. We can know that God loves us and believe that He still loves us even after we fail Him because of Jesus' work of redemption. Since we have been redeemed, we come in fear to the Lord and to His goodness. We tremble in awe of God and His goodness. We come in fear not because He is harsh or cruel, but because He is so good. May God give us grace to seek Him and be moved in awe by His redeeming love.

    The Mercy of God

    We continue in our study through the book of Hosea this morning as we consider Hosea 2:14-23. According to His great mercy God woos and speaks tenderly to restore his people. The place where God brought cursing is reversed to a place of hope. According to His great mercy, God redeems His people. He pays the bride price in everything we lack. Righteousness and justice, steadfast love and mercy. According to His great mercy, the creation will be renewed and in response to God’s mercy we will say, “You are my God.” Jesus is God’s ultimate display to His people of His love for them. Jesus is God himself, come down to speak tenderly to His people. Jesus is the true vine who gives life to all who are in Him. On the cross, the greatest Valley of Achor has become a door of hope. A place of condemnation, cursing, and judgment, has become our only hope for righteousness, life, and restoration. Jesus, the true and loving husband, gave up His life for His bride. He redeemed us, and now we wait for Him to return and make all things new. We live now as the beloved of God. God has had mercy on us in Christ. He has called us His people. May God give us grace to live worthy of this calling, to live lives worthy of the gospel, and to say in our words, actions, and affections, He is our God.

    Plead With Your Mother

    This morning we continue our study through the book of Hosea as we consider Hosea 2:1–13. In this passage, we see God pleading with His people as a husband confronts a wayward wife. God calls His people to return to Him and warns of discipline if they refuse. His purpose in this discipline is not destruction but redemption—so that Israel would come to say, “I will go and return to my first husband, for it was better for me then than now.” Hosea 2:1–13 confronts us with the sobering truth that when God moves to confront, rebuke, and discipline, it is because of His love and His commitment to our greatest good. The surprising claim of the Christian faith is not simply that God judges and disciplines from above, but that He came down. In the person and work of Jesus Christ, God takes judgment upon Himself. On the cross, Jesus reveals Himself as the true and faithful spouse who bears the ultimate hedging of thorns. He is punished so that we might be forgiven. If you have placed your faith in Jesus, the question is not whether God loves you, but whether you are believing, resting in, receiving, and enjoying that love? If you belong to Christ, the question is not, “Is God punishing me because I did something wrong?” but rather, “How is God graciously reordering my loves so that I would see Him as the One who loves me best and works for my good?” May God give us grace to believe this and to live in light of the finished work of Jesus.

    The Redeeming Love of God

    This morning we begin a new study through the book of Hosea. In our text today we consider Hosea 1:1-11 as both an introduction and a summary for the rest of the book. We see in the first chapter of Hosea that the people of God will be punished for their spiritual adultery. God pronounced judgement on His people because of their unfaithfulness, yet He promised a future restoration. God reveals the depth of the people’s betrayal in Hosea’s life and shows us the even greater depth of His redeeming love. God's faithful, steadfast, and redeeming love is highlighted as the theme of the book. It is good, true, and beautiful to consider our rebellion as spiritual adultery because it cultivates deepening humility, gratitude, freedom, and joy in God's redeeming love shown towards us in Jesus. It is good and wise to admit that we have committed spiritual adultery because we are boasting in the good news that God’s grace is stronger than our adultery, failure, and lack of faith. May God strengthen our faith as we see that His grace and restoration doesn’t rest on our performance, but upon His promises. Our hope is not in our own commitment to Christ, but in His covenant and character.

    The Gospel Bearing Fruit and Increasing

    This morning we consider our vision as we look at Colossians 1:6. We desire for the gospel to bear fruit and grow among us as it is doing in the whole world. We want to see a movement of the gospel through the Puget Sound, for the flourishing of all people. We believe the gospel is not only the power of God for salvation, but what we move deeper into for continued transformation. The gospel is what we have received and in which we stand. We aspire for the gospel to be the sustaining center and foundation of all that we do. The gospel is what shapes, bears fruit, and grows to produce transformation. We believe a movement of the gospel would bring the increase of gospel-centered churches, relational reconciliation, community formation, and spiritual renewal. In short, a movement of the gospel would bring about human flourishing and joy. This vision is ours not because it originates with us, but because it has been entrusted to us and involves every member sharing it and seeking to personally own it. May God give us grace to show the difference the gospel makes. May the gospel bear fruit and increase through the Puget Sound for the flourishing of all people.

    The Great Commission

    This morning we conclude our study through the Gospel according to Matthew as we consider the Great Commission from Matthew 28:11–20. In this passage, Matthew tells us about the origins of the story that was spread among the Jews—that the chief priests and elders bribed the Roman soldiers to say, “His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.” After exposing the conspiracy of the Jewish religious leaders, Matthew records the final words and command of Jesus to his disciples. In the Great Commission, Jesus gives four “all” statements. First, he declares, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” Second, he commands, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations.” Third, he instructs them to “teach them to observe all that I have commanded you.” Finally, he offers this promise, “I am with you always.” As we conclude our study of Matthew, we see that Jesus calls us to be disciples who make disciples. We are invited to learn from Jesus and commit ourselves to the lifelong journey of observing his teaching, and we are also called to lead others to him. As disciples, we are both learners and leaders—students and teachers. May God give us grace to be faithful disciples who go and make disciples of all nations.

    The Resurrection

    This morning we continue in our study of the gospel according to Matthew as we consider Matthew 28:1-10. The tomb was filled on Friday, secured on Saturday, and empty on Sunday. We see in our text this morning the story of the empty tomb. Christ is no longer in the tomb. He is risen! This one event changes everything. Our calendars changed and the day of worship changed. The resurrection proves the truth of all that Jesus said and did. As we consider the two ladies who meet the risen Christ and fall at his feet in worship, we're invited to reflect on our response to the risen Lord. Have you met Jesus? Have you fallen at His feet in worship? Join us as we consider the resurrection and respond in worship. May God give us grace to come and see the risen Jesus and go and tell others the good news.

    The Crucifixion

    This morning we continue in our study through the gospel according to Matthew as we consider Matthew 27:32-66. We see in our text this morning that Jesus is the Son of God who was crucified and forsaken as a perfect sin offering for us. Jesus was the once and for all sacrifice who paid for our sins. Through Jesus, we are no longer separated us from God, but can enjoy access to the Father by grace and enjoy life forever with God through faith. The cross shows us that we are sinful, flawed, and broken, yet we are simultaneously loved, forgiven, and accepted. May God give us grace to behold our Crucified Messiah who died in our place as a sin offering. We pray that you would believe God is with you and for you in Jesus. We have this sure and steadfast anchor of the soul because of the crucifixion. We have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain.
