Welcome back to the Hosea online Bible study! We’re excited you’ve joined us again this week as we continue to study this amazing story of God’s unfailing love. This week, we started reading what Jennifer calls “Hosea’s sermon,” which starts in Hosea 4, and we focused on the sections where Hosea talks to Israel about returning to their first love. We hope you were challenged and encouraged this week, and we can’t wait to discuss what you all are learning!
If you have any questions about how this study works, we’ve answered most of them here. Have more questions not answered there? Check out our Online Bible Study FAQs.
As a reminder, we’ll leave all the videos up until May 31, 2018, allowing some breathing room for those who join in late or miss a couple of weeks. After that you can purchase the video or audio sessions here.
Did you miss our first few sessions? Don’t worry!
