0:00.0	Welcome to Enjoying the Journey with Evangelist Scott Pauli.
0:13.0	Today we are on a journey through Scripture.
0:16.0	We hope you'll join us as we make 66 stops through each book of the Word of God.
0:34.9	There's no trouble like family trouble. I'm telling you, when families have problems, it is one of the hardest things on earth to deal with.
0:43.3	Well, it's interesting, but the book we've come to in the Old Testament is a book of family trouble.
0:49.1	It's called Josea. It's the first of the minor prophets. Now, they're not minor in message, they're only minor in size. There are 12 of them, and they're smaller, for the most part, than the five major prophets. But their message is big and as great and grand and glorious as the love of God. And Hosea is the perfect example of this, because Oaya is a very brief book about one family and yet
1:13.0	it's bigger than that. It is about the entire nation of Israel and a great God who love them
1:20.0	with everlasting love. Josea has been called the prophet of persevering love and let me tell you
1:26.5	why. You know, we've already studied
1:28.7	the romance in Ruth. We've studied the way marriage is a picture of our union with Christ and
1:34.2	Song of Solomon. So you'll understand that when you come to the book of Hosea, God is using the story
1:39.9	of one family as an object lesson of his relationship with the nation of Israel. The message is given
1:46.4	in Symbol in chapters 1 through 3, and then in sermon in chapters 4 through 14. So the personal
1:52.8	marriage that Josea has with this wife is an illustration of a bigger national message. Let me tell you
2:00.2	the story. Jose is told to marry a woman by the name of
2:03.6	Gomer. He loves her with all of his heart, but she's unfaithful to him. She leaves him. She runs off
2:09.4	after other lovers. She's an immoral, adulterous woman. It breaks Josea's heart. Like Jeremiah before him,
2:17.3	Josea has also been called the prophet of the broken heart.
2:20.9	And his brokenness hit very close to home
2:23.2	because he's going through the breakup of his marriage.
2:27.1	They have two children.
2:28.6	God commands that those two children be named specific names,
