Scandalous Grace | Hosea 13:1-8

Our hearts are idol factories, constantly chasing substitutes that promise life but only destroy. In Hosea 13, God confronts these idols with fierce love—and points us to the only Savior who was torn apart so we could be made whole.

Scandalous Grace | Hosea 11:1-11

Even when God’s people stray, His love never gives up. In this sermon from Hosea 11, Kyle Hernandez shares how God’s heart is both grieved by unfaithfulness and yet stirred with compassion. Through vivid imagery of a parent’s tender care, a lion’s roar, and the promise of restoration, we see how God’s boundless love finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Whether you’ve wandered or grown weary, this message is an invitation to return home to the God who will never let you go.

Scandalous Grace | Hosea 6:1-6

What does true repentance look like? In Hosea 6, God confronts His people for shallow, ritual-driven words that vanish like morning dew. They wanted relief from His discipline, but not relationship with Him. Yet God’s heart is clear: “I desire faithful love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.” In this message, Pastor Jon unpacks the difference between superficial and genuine repentance, showing how God disciplines to heal, not destroy—and how the ultimate promise of restoration is fulfilled in Christ’s resurrection. Repentance is not something to fear but the doorway into life, grace, and joy in God’s presence.

Scandalous Grace | Hosea 4:1-10

God charges His people with abandoning truth, love, and the knowledge of Him—leaving devastation in their wake. Hosea warns that knowledge without obedience leads to destruction, but points us to Christ, who is the Truth and steadfast love we desperately need.

Scandalous Grace | Hosea 3:1-5

God tells Hosea to pursue and buy back his unfaithful wife—a living picture of God’s relentless love for His people. In this message, we see the command to love in the midst of betrayal, the costly price of redemption, the purpose of waiting, and the promise of restoration. Through Hosea’s story, we catch a glimpse of the greater Redeemer who paid the ultimate price for us. This is grace that rescues, reforms, and restores.

Scandalous Grace | Hosea 2:2-23

What kind of love runs toward the unfaithful? What kind of grace speaks tenderly to those who have betrayed it? In Scandalous Grace: From Judgment to Tenderness, we explore Hosea 2:2–23 and encounter a God whose love defies expectations. His judgment is not the end of the story—it’s the doorway to hope. In the wilderness, where comfort is stripped away, God speaks tenderly and reawakens the hearts of His people. He doesn’t settle for outward obedience or religious performance; He wants relationship, renewal, and restoration. This message unpacks how God uses severe mercy to rescue us, how He turns valleys of trouble into places of promise, and how He rewrites names once marked by shame. If you’ve ever felt too far gone, this is a reminder that God’s grace is relentless—and He still reverses what sin has ruined.

Scandalous Grace | Hosea 1:1-11

What kind of love keeps pursuing after repeated betrayal? In this powerful opening message from the book of Hosea, we encounter a scandalous command from God: the prophet Hosea is told to marry a woman who will be unfaithful to him. Why? Because God wants His people to see—not just hear—what His love looks like. Through a broken marriage, rebellious children, and names that speak judgment, God paints a vivid picture of Israel’s spiritual adultery—and His relentless, covenant-keeping love. But the story doesn’t stop there. In a shocking reversal, God promises restoration, a new name, and a future hope that finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ.

Exiles | 1 Peter 5:6-14

We are not living in peacetime—we are in a spiritual war. In the closing verses of 1 Peter, the apostle reminds believers that we have a real enemy, the devil, who seeks to devour us. But he also offers real hope: the enemy is resistible, and God’s grace is stronger than our suffering. In this sermon, we’re called to wake up to the reality of spiritual warfare and to stand firm—not in fear, but in faith. Peter exhorts us to guard against the devil’s footholds of pride and anxiety, to rest in the God who promises to restore and strengthen us, and to stand firm together in the true grace of God.

Exiles | 1 Peter 5:1-5

What kind of leadership does the church need in a world of power grabs and platform-building? In this message from 1 Peter 5:1–5, we explore Peter’s call to humble, willing, Christ-centered leadership. Elders are not CEOs—they are shepherds, called to lead with integrity, serve with joy, and model faithfulness under the authority of the Chief Shepherd, Jesus. And the whole church is called to clothe itself with humility. Whether you're leading, following, or somewhere in between, this passage offers a timely vision for gospel-shaped leadership in the church.

Exiles | 1 Peter 4:12-19

Why are we surprised when obedience leads to opposition? In this message from 1 Peter 4:12–19, Pastor Jon unpacks how suffering for Christ isn’t a sign of His absence—but of our union with Him. Discover how to expect the heat, embrace the honor, examine your life, and entrust the outcome to a faithful Creator. Because in God’s hands, the fire doesn't destroy—it refines.
