The book of Hosea—it’s a deeply personal and passionate love story, yet it’s a difficult story. As an account full of harsh judgment unfolds, we find in its midst a rare and pure gem: the truest and purest of loves.    Hosea, an Old Testament prophet, preached his own life message using his marriage as the sermon illustration. The study of Hosea looks deeply at that message. In this 7-session Bible study, Jennifer Rothschild provides background to better understand the intricacies of the man and his message. You’ll be guided to understand, but more especially to apply the message of the prophet of love.    The book will challenge us with judgment so harsh it will singe our hair—an unheeded sermon warning of devastating doom shortly to come. But it will show us the kind of love we dream about. Be amazed by the love of Hosea for his wayward spouse—and more amazed by the unfailing love of God for His wayward people, and for all people. Hosea showers us with hope—hints and portents pointing to the coming of the promised Messiah.    Features:    7 group sessions, 6 weeks of personal study to complete between group sessions  7 teaching videos, approximately 20–35 minutes per session, available via redemption code printed in the Bible study book    Leader helps to guide questions and discussions within small groups    Benefits:    Expand your understanding of the book of Hosea.  Evaluate the idols in your life and how we are prone to wander away from God.  Evaluate corrupt thinking and adjust to correct thinking of God’s Word.  Focus on how God responds, redeems, and restores us.  Learn how to step out of slavery and into freedom in Christ.
