Hosea/Joel - Return to the Lord

Have you ever found something valuable that you had lost? Hosea and Joel are like that. God's people had gone far from God, but He still wanted them back. These prophets reminded them to return to the Lord.

1. God's love is relentless (Hosea 3:1)

2. Sin has consequences, but God calls us back (Joel 2:13)

3. God promises restoration and renewal (Joel 2:25)

God's love (Hosea) and God's mercy (Joel) come together in Jesus. Even after rebellion, tragedy, and time, God still will restore. The invitation is simple: Return to the Lord... for He is gracious and merciful (Joel 2:13).
