  1. God’s Redeeming LovePart 8: “The Madness of Sin”Hosea 8:1-14

  2. Ecclesiastes 9:3 “The hearts of men, moreover, are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live…” EBFC Sermon Series: "God's Redeeming Love"

  3. The Big Question “Why do we do what we do?” EBFC Sermon Series: "God's Redeeming Love"

  4. Ephraim is like a dove, easily deceived and senseless- Hosea 7:11 EBFC Sermon Series: "God's Redeeming Love"

  5. 1 Corinthians 10:11 11These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us. EBFC Sermon Series: "God's Redeeming Love"

  6. Hosea 8:1-6“Sin rejects God and worships self.” 1 "Put the trumpet to your lips!        An eagle is over the house of the LORD because the people have broken my covenant and rebelled against my law. 2 Israel cries out to me,        'O our God, we acknowledge you!' 3 But Israel has rejected what is good;        an enemy will pursue him. EBFC Sermon Series: "God's Redeeming Love"

  7. 4 They set up kings without my consent;        they choose princes without my approval. With their silver and gold        they make idols for themselves        to their own destruction. 5 Throw out your calf-idol, O Samaria!        My anger burns against them.        How long will they be incapable of purity? 6 They are from Israel!        This calf—a craftsman has made it;        it is not God. It will be broken in pieces, that calf of Samaria.

  8. Donald Macleod “All shallow views of the atonement are the consequence of shallow perception of sin and superficial awareness of spiritual need. If we know something of the depth of our own depravity and the extent of our own guilt we shall readily appreciate God’s provision in the blood of His Son.” EBFC Sermon Series: "God's Redeeming Love"

  9. Deuteronomy 8 “Beware that you do not forget the LORD your God by not keeping His commandments, his judgments, and His statutes which I command you today…If you by any means forget the LORD your God, and follow other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.” EBFC Sermon Series: "God's Redeeming Love"

  10. James 2:10 “For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.” EBFC Sermon Series: "God's Redeeming Love"

  11. Walter Kaiser “This is a lack of apprehension of the truth about God and the nonexistence of any personal experience or relationship with Him.” EBFC Sermon Series: "God's Redeeming Love"

  12. John 3:19 “This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.” EBFC Sermon Series: "God's Redeeming Love"

  13. Idolatry “That God regards idolatry of any sort or fashion as an abomination and a personal insult is obvious from the most cursory of Bible reading. Paul’s assessment of Gentile guilt is just as appropriate for Israel, who suppressed the truth God had revealed to them, traded it for a lie, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man (Rom. 1:18,23, 25). Idolatry facilitates worship since it is always easier to operate by sight than by faith, but it is dark and serious sin.” EBFC Sermon Series: "God's Redeeming Love"

  14. Exodus 32:20 20 And Moses took the calf they had made and burned it in the fire; then he ground it to powder, scattered it on the water and made the Israelites drink it. EBFC Sermon Series: "God's Redeeming Love"

  15. Hosea 7:15-16 “I trained them and strengthened them, but they plot evil against me. They do not turn to the Most High.” EBFC Sermon Series: "God's Redeeming Love"

  16. Paul (Romans 9) “Theirs is the adoption as sons; theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises. 5Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised!” EBFC Sermon Series: "God's Redeeming Love"

  17. Hosea 8:7-14 “Sowing sin, reaping God’s displeasure.” 7"They sow the wind        and reap the whirlwind.        The stalk has no head;        it will produce no flour.        Were it to yield grain,        foreigners would swallow it up. 8 Israel is swallowed up;        now she is among the nations        like a worthless thing. EBFC Sermon Series: "God's Redeeming Love"

  18. 9 For they have gone up to Assyria        like a wild donkey wandering alone.        Ephraim has sold herself to lovers. 10 Although they have sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them together. They will begin to waste away under the oppression of the mighty king. 11 "Though Ephraim built many altars for sin offerings, these have become altars for sinning. EBFC Sermon Series: "God's Redeeming Love"

  19. 12 I wrote for them the many things of my law, but they regarded them as something alien. 13 They offer sacrifices given to me        and they eat the meat,        but the LORD is not pleased with them. Now he will remember their wickedness and punish their sins:        They will return to Egypt. EBFC Sermon Series: "God's Redeeming Love"

  20. 14 Israel has forgotten his Maker        and built palaces; Judah has fortified many towns. But I will send fire upon their cities that will consume their fortresses." EBFC Sermon Series: "God's Redeeming Love"

  21. Hosea 5:15 “And they will seek my face; in their misery they will earnestly seek me.” EBFC Sermon Series: "God's Redeeming Love"

  22. Jesus “These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.” EBFC Sermon Series: "God's Redeeming Love"
