WEBVTT 00:00:00.940 --> 00:00:04.620 Let's hear God's word to us today. 00:00:14.300 --> 00:00:21.679 When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. 00:00:22.580 --> 00:00:27.060 But the more they were called, the more they went away from me. 00:00:27.059 --> 00:00:32.320 They sacrificed to the bales, and they burned incense to images. 00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:38.159 It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by the arms. 00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:42.320 But they did not realize it was I who healed them. 00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:47.299 I led them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love. 00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:54.299 To them I was like one who lifts a little child to the cheek, and I bent down to feed them. 00:00:54.299 --> 00:00:57.939 Will they not return to Egypt? 00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.579 And will not Assyria rule over them because they refuse to repent? 00:01:03.459 --> 00:01:06.299 A sword will flash in their cities. 00:01:06.500 --> 00:01:10.599 It will devour their false prophets and put an end to their plans. 00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:18.000 My people are determined to turn from me, even though they call me God Most High. 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:20.959 I will by no means exalt them. 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.099 How can I give you up, Ephraim? 00:01:24.579 --> 00:01:26.879 How can I hand you over, Israel? 00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:29.879 How can I treat you like Adma? 00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.060 How can I make you like Zeboim? 00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:36.379 My heart is changed within me. 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:39.019 All my compassion is aroused. 00:01:39.019 --> 00:01:45.280 I will not carry out my fierce anger, nor will I devastate Ephraim again. 00:01:45.619 --> 00:01:50.939 For I am God and not a man, the Holy One among you. 00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:54.739 I will not come against their cities. 00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:57.299 They will follow the Lord. 00:01:57.840 --> 00:01:59.560 He will roar like a lion. 00:02:00.039 --> 00:02:04.399 When he roars, his children will come trembling from the west. 00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:09.120 They will come from Egypt trembling like sparrows, 00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:12.200 from Assyria fluttering like doves. 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.980 I will settle them in their homes, declares the Lord. 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:25.319 So, Connor, do you want to come up and I'll pray for you and for us? 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:35.180 You need to flicker. 00:02:35.900 --> 00:02:36.240 Okay. 00:02:36.659 --> 00:02:37.300 Let's pray. 00:02:40.379 --> 00:02:44.540 Father, thank you for your word that we have been able to read. 00:02:45.300 --> 00:02:50.140 And now we ask that you would give to us your Holy Spirit, 00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:57.280 enabling us to listen well and enabling Connor to communicate effectively and clearly. 00:02:58.180 --> 00:03:03.480 We pray that the words he speaks would be words from you, 00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:07.659 words of God that speak into our hearts, 00:03:08.519 --> 00:03:13.339 teaching us and reminding us of who you are and how we should respond to you. 00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.519 So, Father, help us. 00:03:17.219 --> 00:03:20.139 And may not one of us leave this building 00:03:20.139 --> 00:03:24.319 without an encounter with you afresh 00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:27.259 and being changed by you. 00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.519 Father, help us all, we ask in Jesus' name. 00:03:32.019 --> 00:03:32.280 Amen. 00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:38.639 Thanks, Johnny. 00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.479 My dad was asking me how long it was going to be, 00:03:48.939 --> 00:03:50.799 so I told him I'll keep it under the hour 00:03:50.799 --> 00:03:53.419 just to make sure that he doesn't leave. 00:03:53.959 --> 00:03:55.639 We all know it's going to go more than that. 00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:55.679 Amen. 00:03:55.679 --> 00:03:55.759 Amen. 00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:55.879 Amen. 00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:56.199 Amen. 00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:56.259 Amen. 00:03:56.259 --> 00:03:56.359 Amen. 00:03:56.359 --> 00:03:56.780 Amen. 00:03:56.780 --> 00:03:56.879 Amen. 00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:57.359 Amen. 00:03:57.359 --> 00:03:57.399 Amen. 00:03:57.399 --> 00:03:57.879 Amen. 00:03:57.879 --> 00:03:57.939 Amen. 00:03:57.939 --> 00:03:58.439 Amen. 00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:04.479 Amen. 00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:16.980 Amen. 00:04:16.980 --> 00:04:19.240 Once upon a time, there was a carpenter. 00:04:19.939 --> 00:04:21.339 He used to make toys. 00:04:22.139 --> 00:04:26.680 He had no wife, but more than anything in the world, he wanted a child. 00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:31.620 He knew that he would love this child as best he could 00:04:31.620 --> 00:04:35.660 One night after he had finished building a wooden puppet 00:04:35.660 --> 00:04:38.960 He found himself wishing upon a star 00:04:38.960 --> 00:04:41.340 That the puppet would become a real boy 00:04:41.340 --> 00:04:43.100 So that he could have a child 00:04:43.100 --> 00:04:45.699 You've probably never heard this story before 00:04:45.699 --> 00:04:49.699 Sure enough, that very night a blue fairy came 00:04:49.699 --> 00:04:52.060 And gave the puppet the gift of life 00:04:52.060 --> 00:04:54.439 He was able to walk and talk 00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:56.060 Though he was still made of wood 00:04:56.060 --> 00:04:59.560 The fairy also gave him a cricket as a conscience 00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:03.019 To guide his path in a tough, troubled world 00:05:03.019 --> 00:05:07.019 Well, the next morning when the carpenter awoke from his slumber 00:05:07.019 --> 00:05:08.379 He was ecstatic 00:05:08.379 --> 00:05:10.680 He finally had a child 00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:12.540 And just like he knew he would 00:05:12.540 --> 00:05:15.819 He loved that child more than his own life 00:05:15.819 --> 00:05:18.079 He got everything the child needed 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:20.899 A bed, clothes, education 00:05:20.899 --> 00:05:23.860 And plenty of hugs and kisses 00:05:23.860 --> 00:05:29.280 Of course, this is the beginning of Pinocchio 00:05:29.280 --> 00:05:32.480 A beloved children's movie 00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:37.259 But the story we're looking at in chapter 11 of Hosea 00:05:37.259 --> 00:05:39.600 Begins in a very similar way 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:41.759 The only difference is 00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.620 This is a real life love story 00:05:44.620 --> 00:05:47.240 Of a father to his children 00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:50.399 If you were listening carefully to Johnny 00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:51.660 As he was reading through it 00:05:51.660 --> 00:05:55.660 You would have noticed there's almost like a sandwich effect 00:05:55.660 --> 00:05:56.740 In this chapter 00:05:56.740 --> 00:05:59.399 It starts off talking about God's love 00:05:59.399 --> 00:06:02.860 It then moves into maybe something a bit more difficult 00:06:02.860 --> 00:06:04.600 Ralph introduced it to us earlier 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:06.060 God's discipline 00:06:06.060 --> 00:06:10.160 And then goes back to God's love 00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:11.020 And God's mercy 00:06:11.020 --> 00:06:14.560 So the sermon this morning 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.520 Will hopefully have that same sandwich effect 00:06:17.520 --> 00:06:20.400 Verse 1 we read 00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:22.939 When Israel was a child 00:06:22.939 --> 00:06:24.680 I loved him 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:29.420 The story in Hosea is even more wondrous 00:06:29.420 --> 00:06:31.000 Than the story of Pinocchio 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.600 Because while the blue fairy gave Pinocchio life 00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.019 And Geppetto was his father that loved him 00:06:37.019 --> 00:06:38.220 In Hosea 00:06:38.220 --> 00:06:40.279 God gave life to the Israelites 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.699 And was their father that loved them 00:06:43.699 --> 00:06:46.159 It wasn't just words either 00:06:46.159 --> 00:06:48.740 In verse 3 we learn that it was God 00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:51.939 Who taught Ephraim or Israel to walk 00:06:51.939 --> 00:06:53.759 He took them by the arms 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:55.060 And healed them 00:06:55.060 --> 00:06:59.279 Up to this point in the redemption story 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.339 We've seen that God pulled Abraham 00:07:01.339 --> 00:07:02.939 Out of idol worship 00:07:02.939 --> 00:07:05.300 And promised to make him and his children 00:07:05.300 --> 00:07:06.579 Into a chosen nation 00:07:06.579 --> 00:07:09.839 That would experience God's love and blessings 00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.259 The Israelites are these children 00:07:12.259 --> 00:07:14.139 They're the chosen nation 00:07:14.139 --> 00:07:16.720 And boy have they experienced God's blessings 00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.659 He gave them land and a place to live 00:07:19.659 --> 00:07:20.819 When they had none 00:07:20.819 --> 00:07:23.139 He gave them victory over enemies 00:07:23.139 --> 00:07:25.579 When they had no right to win the battles 00:07:25.579 --> 00:07:27.579 He rescued them from slavery 00:07:27.579 --> 00:07:29.139 When they turned back to him 00:07:29.139 --> 00:07:31.879 And helped them to plunder their captors 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:34.000 He gave them kings 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.040 That allowed them to prosper as a nation 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:39.079 And become the envy of all other nations 00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.920 Verse 4 00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:47.060 I led them with cords of human kindness 00:07:47.060 --> 00:07:48.879 With ties of love 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:54.120 To them I was like one who lifts a little child to the cheek 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:57.480 And I bent down to feed them 00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:02.100 What an image of our God 00:08:02.100 --> 00:08:05.360 As such a loving father to those Israelites 00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.060 Who were constantly rebelling against him 00:08:08.060 --> 00:08:10.379 And the Lord did indeed bend down 00:08:10.379 --> 00:08:10.439 And they were constantly in the midst of them 00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:11.439 And they were constantly in the midst of them 00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:12.439 And they were constantly in the midst of them 00:08:12.439 --> 00:08:13.339 With bread from heaven 00:08:13.339 --> 00:08:14.819 When they had no food 00:08:14.819 --> 00:08:18.000 What blessed children they were 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:24.819 What blessed children we are 00:08:24.819 --> 00:08:28.180 Nobody here is like Pinocchio 00:08:28.180 --> 00:08:29.300 When he was just a puppet 00:08:29.300 --> 00:08:31.620 That couldn't walk, talk or think 00:08:31.620 --> 00:08:34.080 Everybody has the gift of life 00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:37.139 Not enough of a blessing 00:08:37.139 --> 00:08:40.460 How many of us have spent the night homeless? 00:08:41.780 --> 00:08:43.520 How many of us have been so hungry 00:08:43.520 --> 00:08:46.040 We had to resort to eating out of bins 00:08:46.040 --> 00:08:47.860 Or thievery to survive? 00:08:48.860 --> 00:08:50.520 How many of us have had to endure 00:08:50.520 --> 00:08:51.780 The horrors of war? 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:54.340 How many of us have had to experience 00:08:54.340 --> 00:08:55.220 A mass shooting? 00:08:55.980 --> 00:08:57.639 How many of us have been educated? 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:00.420 How many of us have friends or family 00:09:00.420 --> 00:09:02.520 That love us and that we love? 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:06.379 We are blessed children 00:09:06.379 --> 00:09:10.460 We are the envy of many nations around the world 00:09:10.460 --> 00:09:12.780 That don't experience these blessings 00:09:12.780 --> 00:09:20.280 But we, like the Israelites 00:09:20.280 --> 00:09:21.620 Like Pinocchio 00:09:21.620 --> 00:09:23.580 Ignore our blessings 00:09:23.580 --> 00:09:27.139 And take advantage of the Father's love 00:09:27.139 --> 00:09:30.960 The first day Geppetto trusted Pinocchio 00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:31.840 To go to school 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:33.199 To give him a bit of freedom 00:09:33.199 --> 00:09:34.279 And an education 00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:37.480 He bumped into the wily, honest John 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:39.379 And decided it would be best 00:09:39.379 --> 00:09:41.699 To turn away from his father 00:09:41.699 --> 00:09:44.199 To disobey his conscience 00:09:44.199 --> 00:09:48.120 The Israelites, we see in verse 2 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.919 That the more they were called 00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:53.319 The more they went away 00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:56.040 From me 00:09:56.040 --> 00:09:57.780 They sacrificed to the bales 00:09:57.780 --> 00:09:59.560 And they burned incense 00:09:59.560 --> 00:10:00.740 To images 00:10:00.740 --> 00:10:05.280 After all God had done for them 00:10:05.280 --> 00:10:07.100 They turned away from him 00:10:07.100 --> 00:10:09.700 The more he pursued them 00:10:09.700 --> 00:10:12.080 The more they wanted to do their own thing 00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:15.040 The more blessings he gave them 00:10:15.040 --> 00:10:17.200 The more they replaced him 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:18.660 With other gods 00:10:18.659 --> 00:10:22.120 The more God has mercy 00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:23.779 On us 00:10:23.779 --> 00:10:26.279 The more we feel like 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:27.120 We don't need him 00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:29.579 The more blessings we receive 00:10:29.579 --> 00:10:30.159 In our lives 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:31.019 The more we think 00:10:31.019 --> 00:10:32.360 We accomplished it ourselves 00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:34.539 The more grace he bestows 00:10:34.539 --> 00:10:36.459 Such as relenting from his wrath 00:10:36.459 --> 00:10:38.740 The more we turn away from him 00:10:38.740 --> 00:10:41.620 The more he delays his judgment 00:10:41.620 --> 00:10:42.879 On this wicked world 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:44.319 To give people a chance 00:10:44.319 --> 00:10:45.179 To turn to him 00:10:45.179 --> 00:10:46.959 The more we turn 00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:47.980 To other gods 00:10:47.980 --> 00:10:49.100 Made of wood 00:10:49.100 --> 00:10:50.560 Worthless 00:10:50.560 --> 00:10:53.379 The gods of sex 00:10:53.379 --> 00:10:54.660 Like the Israelites 00:10:54.660 --> 00:10:55.759 Went whoring after 00:10:55.759 --> 00:10:56.540 In our passage 00:10:56.540 --> 00:10:58.100 The gods of money 00:10:58.100 --> 00:10:58.960 And security 00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:00.340

him 00:16:42.479 --> 00:16:43.240 To tell the truth 00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:44.620 But again 00:16:44.620 --> 00:16:45.959 Pinocchio ignores it 00:16:45.959 --> 00:16:47.980 He lies to make himself 00:16:47.980 --> 00:16:48.559 Look better 00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:50.159 And all of a sudden 00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:51.579 The consequence 00:16:51.579 --> 00:16:53.259 Of turning away 00:16:53.259 --> 00:16:54.019 From his father 00:16:54.019 --> 00:16:54.919 The consequence 00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:55.980 Of disobeying 00:16:55.980 --> 00:16:56.860 His conscience 00:16:56.860 --> 00:16:58.579 Becomes as clear 00:16:58.579 --> 00:16:59.719 As the nose 00:16:59.719 --> 00:17:00.419 On his face 00:17:00.419 --> 00:17:03.779 God's word 00:17:03.779 --> 00:17:05.539 And God's instructions 00:17:05.539 --> 00:17:06.099 To us 00:17:06.099 --> 00:17:07.240 Are good 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:09.720 When we turn away 00:17:09.720 --> 00:17:10.839 Or disobey 00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:11.839 There will 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:13.079 Be consequences 00:17:13.079 --> 00:17:14.139 That we won't 00:17:14.139 --> 00:17:14.920 Be happy about 00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:17.879 When I started college 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:18.740 I went out 00:17:18.740 --> 00:17:19.440 With my friends 00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:20.880 During freshers week 00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:22.420 I got drunk 00:17:22.420 --> 00:17:23.680 I started a fight 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:24.600 With some random guy 00:17:24.600 --> 00:17:26.180 My friends quickly 00:17:26.180 --> 00:17:26.740 Had to bring me 00:17:26.740 --> 00:17:27.340 To the hospital 00:17:27.340 --> 00:17:28.560 Where I discovered 00:17:28.560 --> 00:17:29.940 My jaw was broken 00:17:29.940 --> 00:17:30.880 In two places 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:32.060 Turned out 00:17:32.060 --> 00:17:33.080 This random guy 00:17:33.080 --> 00:17:33.720 Was a boxer 00:17:33.720 --> 00:17:36.339 I was on a liquid diet 00:17:36.339 --> 00:17:37.460 For two weeks 00:17:37.460 --> 00:17:38.180 Because they had to 00:17:38.180 --> 00:17:38.740 Have my jaw 00:17:38.740 --> 00:17:39.620 Wired shut 00:17:39.620 --> 00:17:41.420 I'd like to say 00:17:41.420 --> 00:17:42.559 I learned my lesson 00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:44.000 And never got drunk again 00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:45.319 But just like 00:17:45.319 --> 00:17:45.860 The Israelites 00:17:45.860 --> 00:17:47.460 It takes a few goes 00:17:47.460 --> 00:17:48.360 For God 00:17:48.360 --> 00:17:49.259 To get through to me 00:17:49.259 --> 00:17:51.620 God tried being merciful 00:17:51.620 --> 00:17:53.680 Where I had close calls 00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:54.360 With cars 00:17:54.360 --> 00:17:55.559 Lightly going over 00:17:55.559 --> 00:17:56.240 My ankles 00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:57.620 But it wasn't 00:17:57.620 --> 00:17:58.559 Getting through to me 00:17:58.559 --> 00:18:00.400 Discipline 00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:01.080 Was needed 00:18:01.080 --> 00:18:03.080 And it was the only way 00:18:03.080 --> 00:18:04.080 I would listen 00:18:04.080 --> 00:18:06.040 Discipline 00:18:06.040 --> 00:18:07.280 Is a loving action 00:18:07.280 --> 00:18:09.320 From a loving God 00:18:09.320 --> 00:18:11.600 I could have done 00:18:11.600 --> 00:18:12.700 Even more serious 00:18:12.700 --> 00:18:13.940 Damage to myself 00:18:13.940 --> 00:18:15.360 If it wasn't 00:18:15.360 --> 00:18:16.920 For God's discipline 00:18:16.920 --> 00:18:18.900 Dragging me back 00:18:18.900 --> 00:18:19.780 To him 00:18:19.780 --> 00:18:21.900 When we're going 00:18:21.900 --> 00:18:22.759 Through tough times 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:24.180 The first thing 00:18:24.180 --> 00:18:25.080 We should ask ourselves 00:18:25.080 --> 00:18:26.620 Is there sin 00:18:26.620 --> 00:18:27.220 In my life 00:18:27.220 --> 00:18:29.400 There won't 00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:30.240 Always be 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:31.500 This life has fallen 00:18:31.500 --> 00:18:32.900 And it's very very hard 00:18:32.900 --> 00:18:34.480 But the first thing 00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:35.200 We should be doing 00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:36.299 Is checking 00:18:36.299 --> 00:18:37.240 If our hearts 00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:38.200 Are right 00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:39.200 With God 00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:41.180 Just like 00:18:41.180 --> 00:18:41.700 The Israelites 00:18:41.700 --> 00:18:42.740 Being taken captive 00:18:42.740 --> 00:18:43.720 Just like 00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:44.740 Pinocchio's nose 00:18:44.740 --> 00:18:45.559 And just like 00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:47.019 My many drunken injuries 00:18:47.019 --> 00:18:48.700 Disobeying the conscience 00:18:48.700 --> 00:18:49.799 Of God's word 00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:51.460 Has consequences 00:18:51.460 --> 00:18:54.940 However 00:18:54.940 --> 00:18:55.900 Like Ralph 00:18:55.900 --> 00:18:56.799 Informes earlier 00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:59.160 The primary consequence 00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:01.640 Of our guilt 00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:02.580 And disobedience 00:19:02.580 --> 00:19:04.120 Has been paid for 00:19:04.120 --> 00:19:05.720 By God himself 00:19:05.720 --> 00:19:08.680 Only Friday night 00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:10.000 I was at a
