Outline
Hook: Which is more important – to be right? Or to be good?
I. BECOMING GOMER
"Christians tend to be Augustinian in theory but Pelagian in practice.” – Eugene Peterson
II. BECOMING HOSEA
"Sometimes hesed is translated ‘steadfast love.’ It combines commitment with sacrifice. Hesed is one-way love. Love without an exit strategy. When you love with hesed love, you bind yourself to the object of your love, no matter what the response is.” – Paul Miller
Take-away: Mercy, not sacrifice (Hosea 6:6; cf. Matt 9:13)
