  1. How Do I Treat God? Hosea 11:1-4

  2. Scripture Reading • Hosea 11:1-4 (NIV) 1 "When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. 2 But the more I called Israel, the further they went from me. They sacrificed to the Baals and they burned incense to images. 3 It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by the arms; but they did not realize it was I who healed them. 4 I led them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love; I lifted the yoke from their neck and bent down to feed them.

  3. Point #1 • Are there times that I pushed God away from me even as He is trying to love on me? • Hosea 11:2 (NIV) 2 But the more I called Israel, the further they went from me...

  4. Point # 2 • Are there times when I had to choose between God and the golden calf and the golden calf won? • Hosea 11:2 (NIV) 2 … They sacrificed to the Baals and they burned incense to images.

  5. Point # 3 • Are there times that I give credit to someone else for what God has done in my life? • Hosea 11:3 (NIV) 3 It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by the arms; but they did not realize it was I who healed them.

  6. Point # 4 • Do I truly understand how much better my life is with Christ than without Him? • Hosea 11:4 (NIV) 4 I led them with cords of human kindness, with ties of love; I lifted the yoke from their neck and bent down to feed them.

  7. Conclusion Make only one Resolution this year- To put God first. How do I begin to put God first: I think it begins at an altar putting all the junk of the past behind you- the anger, the bitterness, the unforgiveness, the hard heartedness. Will you come, clean up and take on the Resolution to put God first in 2009?
