Hosea 4:1-3; 12-14
When God calls his people back from not living what is good and right for their lives, He likens their immorality to infidelity to a marriage commitment. When we understand the commitment, our immorality is so shallow.
Come Back! - Idolatry
2 Kings 17:6–18
When God, through His prophets, called His people back to relationship, He always addressed their idolatry, immorality and/or injustice. Since we don't bow down to statues, is idolatry still a relevant issue for us?

Sermon Notes
Gentle and Lowly: Beautiful Friend
The times we're living in are causing stress and division even among friends. When we see Jesus as the beautiful friend He is, He offers not only a model but more importantly the means for being a beautiful friend to others.
Gentle and Lowly: Not in Wrath
Hosea 11:1–9
How do you expect God to react to your sinfulness? Do you expect to be yelled at? Do you expect to be punished? In Hosea 11, God offers a response to the sins of His people that will take your breath away!
Gentle and Lowly: Drawn into Our Distress
Hebrews 4:14–5:5

Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Jesus
Matthew 11:25–30
In Matthew 11:25–30, Jesus tells us what His heart is like, and He also tells us where He learned this heart. We do well to learn from Jesus.
Disciples Who Proclaim Jesus Broadly

To be a disciple of Jesus is to know Him, follow Him and make Him known. The apostle Paul offers himself as an uncommon "Exhibit A" for how to make Jesus known.
Disciples Who Follow Jesus Completely
John 1:29–51
To be a disciple of Jesus is to know Him and to follow Him, wherever He goes. Where does Jesus go? "Come and see," He says. When you follow Jesus completely, you see heaven and a whole lot more!
Disciples Who Know Jesus Personally
2 Corinthians 5:1–21
To be a disciple of Jesus is to say "Yes" to a personal relationship with Him. When you experience that relationship, you can expect to experience ten (10!) great truths.
Here to Make Disciples
Matthew 4:12–22; 28:16–20
Jesus makes it clear that we are here to make disciples of Jesus. We begin the series with seven ways Jesus impacts a disciple's life, and the last one reveals the great privilege He alone can offer.
Washed in the Blood
We celebrate with Janet Lewis and Marvin Mentor their public declaration that Jesus Christ has gotten ahold of their lives, and they are choosing to follow Him. They've been washed in His blood and are sealed and sheltered by Him. What a glorious day of celebration!
