The Hos 6:6

Image
series: Our Living Word 2/4 Unveiling a surprising blind spot ..which is really important to Jesus. The Hosea's prophecy is a important key for the Christendom because the Lord Christ teaches this verse twice. Once for the sake of his disciples. Once for the sake of the whole world. I desire steadfast love (mercy) and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. Hos 6:6 As we saw in the first part of the "Living Word" series , our possibilities have fundamentally changed and they have become more extensive with the arrival of Jesus Christ. He knows that Hosea 6:6 holds a profound revelation, often overlooked yet crucial to us all. He spoke openly about the fact that Hosea 6:6 was not just for Israel at that time. Rather it talks about Him - giving us a fundamental prophecy about His messianic calling, identity and ministry. I'm going to show you some leading, helpful verses from this prophetic context.

Fairytale in Norfolk

series: Our Living Word 4/4 Word, became flesh ..a hopeful fairytale in Norfolk - with a spin... Once upon a time in Norfolk,... This fairy tale began in Norfolk, in a town whose name I cannot remember, where the pastor of the small community there believed that the values that the Lord Jesus had instilled in them should be passed on.

The pub is good for many things, but not for presenting our Christian life, for example. Sarah Clark 1789 This city, whose name I have forgotten, is famous for its rich ancient culture. Its architecture and various flavors are deeply...

Stress or Rest?

Jesus on stress Phil Moore, London Most people don’t find {Jesus’ teaching on rest} very controversial. That’s because they haven’t understood it. They think that Jesus’ teaching about stress and worry is nothing more than fortune-cookie wisdom, nothing more than a first-century version of the Bobby McFerrin song, “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”. But it isn’t. It is much, much more radical than that. It tells us that stress is the chief symptom of our idolatry and self-worship. When we understand what Jesus said about stress and worry, it’s easy to see why it got him killed. The gospel writers tell us that the issue of stress and worry was a recurring theme in Jesus’ teaching. Luke tells us what he taught in the autumn of 29 AD, only five or six months before his enemies crucified him: Do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens: They do not sow or ...
