Hosea 11-13
Intro/Attention
Open your Bibles to Hosea 11-13. We're in a series on Sunday mornings through the Book of Hosea. I'm calling this series, Boundless: God's relentless love. Hosea is preaching to the unfaithful people of God and reminding them that God has always been faithful to them. The last part of this book depicts Hosea preaching several sermons to the people of Israel.
Hosea uses multiple images, pictures, and analogies to illustrate God's love and faithfulness. We've seen that Hosea's life was a painful action sermon that God called him to live out. He married an unfaithful woman, pursued her to the depths of her despair, and purchased her out of slavery. We've also seen a picture of a courtroom where God's people stand accused and God is the righteous judge. There are multiple other pictures throughout this book, but one of the main ones is that of A Father and His Children. That's the subject of the sermon this morning, A Father and His Children. READ 11:1-4, 7-9; 12:2-6; 13:4-8, 13

It is a story that can help you understand God and his love for you. Spoiler alert! If you've never seen the movie, you're about to hear the plot and the ending. But, the movie came out in 2003 so I've given you plenty of time to see it. Nemo is a little clown fish. He lives in the Great Barrier Reef with his dad, Marlin. When Nemo was still a baby, his mother died while protecting him from a very dangerous fish. She gave her life so he could live. Nemo's father loved him very much. He watched over Nemo and protected him. But one day Nemo disobeyed his father and swam beyond the reef. He was suddenly scooped up by a diver and ...
