The Hos 6:6

series: Our Living Word 2/3 different thoughts and connections with Hosea 6:6 Unveiling a surprising blind spot ..which is important to Jesus 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 openly said that Hosea 6:6 did not only addressed the then Israel. Rather it's about him - a prophecy about his messianic calling and ministry. I'm going to show you some leading, helpful verses from this prophetic context. His mercy and grace will thus be more visible in this way. I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. Hos 6:6 Jesus quoted these words from the prophet Hosea twice, in two different situations. What for us is often just a "prophetic vindication" o...

Our Father in the Heaven

It is a well-known prayer even for non-Christians. However, not many people know that it is basically a prayer pattern and not a mantra that loses its meaning after a while.

Preaching on Mark 9:17-18 Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones said: “You must become aware of your need, of your impotence, of your helplessness. You must realise that you are confronted by something that is too deep for your methods to get rid of, or to deal with, and you need something that can go down beneath that evil power, and shatter it ... and there is only one thing that can do that, and that is the power of God. And we too, must become aware of that, we have got to feel it until we become desperate. We must ask ourselves how we can succeed if we do not have this authority, this commission, this might and strength and power. We must become utterly and absolutely convinced of our need. We must cease to have so much confidence in ourselves, and in all our methods and organisations, and in all our slickness. We have got to realise that we must be filled with God’s Spirit. And we must be equally certain that God can fill us with his Spirit. We have got to realise that however great ...
