## Resource

Hosea is a story in the Bible full of scandal, sin, symbolism, and salvation. In part one of this three week series, Pastor Justin begins breaking down the first chapter of Hosea, and how it seeks to answer the age old question: "If anyone really knew me, deep down, my hidden thoughts, secret desires, failures, and emotions, would they really love me?" By exploring the book of Hosea, we'll come face-to-face with the truth. Yes, we are broken, broken people. But God’s relentless, pursuing love is not based on our faithfulness; it’s based on His.
