Calvary Christian Fellowship Ventura

Pastor Dan O’Friel preaches a sermon entitled "Return to the Lord" based on our reading in Hosea 14. As the last chapter in the Book of Hosea, we read of the Lord’s healing hand working even in their faith in the Lord and to the Lord. In the previous chapters, chapters 3-13, we read of Israel’s waywardness and faithlessness. We read of Israel’s wickedness in their sin and find that like them, we too have gone astray. Ultimately though we read of God’s unfailing love for His people and how He “will heal their backsliding” and “will love them freely.” We see that the Lord did this for His people there and then and how He still does this for His people here and now.
