God’s Wake Up Call Through Hosea (Sermon from Hosea 4:1-6)

God used the marriage of Hosea to try to get Israel’s attention. He told Hosea to marry a prostitute and experience the pain of being married to a serial adulterer. God did this so that Israel could see how their unfaithfulness felt to God; how it disappointed, pained, and angered him. However, in spite of their unfaithfulness, God continued to love and pursue his people. As we reflect on our own commitment to him, are we faithful or are we like a wayward spouse? If we were being drawn away from God, what would he have to do to get our attention?

PRIMARY TEXT FOR THIS MESSAGE:
Hear the word of the Lord, O children of Israel,
for the Lord has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land.
There is no faithfulness or steadfast love,
and no knowledge of God in the land;
2 there is swearing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery;
they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed.
3 Therefore the land mourns,
and all who dwell in it languish,
and also the beasts of the field
and the birds of the heavens,
and even the fish of the sea are taken away.
4 Yet let no one contend,
and let none accuse,
for with you is my contention, O priest.
5 You shall stumble by day;
the prophet also shall stumble with you by night;
and I will destroy your mother.
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge;
because you have rejected knowledge,
I reject you from being a priest to me.
And since you have forgotten the law of your God,
I also will forget your children. (Hosea 4:1-6, ESV)
