Hosea 4-5
Intro/Attention
I'm preaching through the book of Hosea on Sunday mornings in a sermon series entitled, Boundless: God's relentless love. Find Hosea 4 and 5 in your Bibles. *I love to hear those pages turning. My hope is that if you're using the Bible app, the makers of that app will add a feature that makes it sound like turning pages when you search for a passage!* Today, I'm preaching on this sermon subject, Order in the Court! READ 4:1-9, 12-13, 16, 5:6-7, 15
In Hosea 1-3, we have considered one of the strangest marriages in history and probably one of the most painful action sermons ever preached. God told Hosea, the preacher/prophet, to go and marry a woman who would be an adulteress. Children were born and it soon became apparent that these were not his children. Gomer ran back to her life of prostitution and hit rock bottom. She became a slave. Hosea purchased her off the auction block of slaver and brought her home, restored her as his wife and loved her once again.
Now, in chapters 4-14, we see Hosea's sermons to the people of Israel. These messages are based upon Hosea's tragic marital experience. It's somewhat difficult to follow these sermons from Hosea. They don't seem very well organized. They hop, skip, and jump all over the place as Hosea darts from one subject to the next. Keep in?mind that Hosea is a brokenhearted man. It's hard to be logical when your heart is broken. God has broken the heart of Hosea so he might get a little bit of a understanding of the broken heart of?God when His people are guilty of spiritual harlotry, spiritual prostitution, when they forsake Him and?begin to go after other gods.
Chapter 4 begins as a formal court proceeding might begin today-''Hear! hear! The court is now in session.'' Hosea basically says, ''Listen up! The Lord has a charge to bring against you.''
