    Hosea pointed out 6 ’Gray Hairs’ that we should take care of in order to "Find the Fix in 2006". Link included to formatted text version, handout, and PowerPoint Presentation.

    Gray Hairs ‘Finding the Fix in 2006’ Hosea 7:1-16 Hosea is one of the minor prophets…this doesn’t mean he was under 18 or unimportant but only that his prophecy is shorter in length than Isaiah’s or Jeremiah’s, etc. The Pastor was preaching a series on the prophets and one of the members asked ...read more

    Floundering

     | 2,833 views

    Israel’s foolish acts are listed (vv. 1-7), and her floundering is portrayed (vv. 8-16). God’s desire for Israel was healing and restoration. Instead they were involved in lying, theft, robbery (v. l), blatant contempt of God (v. 2), political corruption

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: I read a humorous story about a woman who fell out of a second-floor window and landed in a slow-moving garbage truck. Half-buried in the litter, she tried without success to get the truck-driver’s attention. A foreign diplomat standing on the sidewalk saw her and ...read more

    Single-Minded Heart

    God does not favor divided heart when it comes to our love for him. Hosea describes in three powerful images of the spiritual state we may be in.

    Single-minded Heart Hosea 7:8-12 Last Sunday we studied about the ways to transform our heart so that our thoughts are controlled accordingly. But, unfortunately, we all struggle with symptoms of divided heart. The Bible has some harsh words about that; he is a double-minded man, ...read more

    Half-Baked

    Hosea charged Israel with being “a cake not turned” or “half-baked". They were half-hearted towards God. Like Israel, many of today’s professed believers have followed the same pattern of incomplete discipleship.

    1 Half-Baked Hosea 7:8-10 “Ephraim is a cake not turned.” — Hosea 7:8 Hosea, a prophet to the house of Israel during the reign of Jeroboam II, used several colorful admonitions to bring to Israel’s attention the state of their relationship with God. In his comparison he ...read more

    God Knows When You’re Done

    Instead of Epraim depending on God for stability He formed alliances with the people instead of him being a shepherd he became as sheep. The "cake not turned" was burnt on one side and raw on the other. A metaphor for just how mixed up their lives were.

    God Knows When You’re Done Hosea 7:8 The idea is of a “half-baked” cake. In that day, bread was often prepared as a cake that was cooked on both sides, something like a pancake. In thinking they can serve both the Lord and idols, Israel is like an unturned pancake - burned on one side, uncooked ...read more

    When God’s leaders, whether secular political, secular business, or church religious leaders, fail, the result is disastrous for both God’s people and those around them.

    Some of you are bound to be offended at the title of this sermon. If you are familiar with the slang of a couple of generations ago, this was the ‘40s and ‘50s description of a person who had cast moral considerations aside and wanted to have a hot and heavy affair. It usually denigrated women as ...read more

    HoHum: What kind of a baker is this? Usually what the baker would do was build a big fire in the oven at night and then he would only have hot coals then next morning, much better to bake with. Here it appears that the fire is still hot the next morning but the baker does nothing about it. He ...read more

    Living A Fantasy

    God had sent one prophet after another to warn Israel of impending judgment. Rather then heeding the many warnings, they continued to live in a fantasy world, void of reality. Sadly many today continue this path, refusing to admit their great need.

    Living a Fantasy Hosea 6:4, 7:8ff As you study the book of Hosea, God’s love for His people is easily discovered. While they had turned their backs on him, seeking the gods of this world and the pleasures of the flesh, God continued to pursue them by His grace. In the chapters between our last ...read more

    Israel is a cake half baked, burned on one side and raw on the other. Actually, a cake like that would be totally useless. The good news God wants to restore. Put your faith in Christ. Turn from the half-baked lifestyle Live fully committed to Jesus Christ.

    A cake would not be very useful to you if it were burned on the bottom and raw and the top. Actually, a cake like that would be totally useless. Israel was a half-consecrated people.
