Holy Man Episode 40 – Hosea

Life Group Questions – Hosea loves the unlovable

1. If you have children, tell about a time when they disobeyed you, or a time when they broke your heart.
2. Read Hosea 3. God calls Hosea to chase after his wife who has left him for another man.  How would you feel if your wife became a prostitute?  What are some idols we chase after? Talk about how God feels when we chase after idols or worldly things in our lives? 
3. God loves us unconditionally. Now, discuss the emotions we face when we consider that God loves us even when we prostitute ourselves with other idols?  Notice in Ch 3, Hosea paid to get Gomer back.  Reflect on what the cross means to us.
4. Read Hosea 14. After God shares the pain of our sin throughout the middle chapters of Hosea, what suggestions do we find in 14?  What blessings come our way if we walk with God?
