What if the thing standing between you and God isn’t your sin — but your misunderstanding of his heart?In this message from Hosea 11, Pastor Joel unpacks one of the most intimate and surprising portraits of God in all of Scripture. Through the story of Israel’s repeated unfaithfulness and God’s stunning refusal to give up on them, we discover that God the Father doesn’t just tolerate us — he cares for us, has compassion on us, and conquers on our behalf.Drawing from the rare Hebrew concept of “hesed” — steadfast love — Pastor Joel shows that God’s heart toward you is not one of animosity, indifference, or disappointment. It is a heart of a caring father who taught you to walk, a compassionate father who chose restraint over wrath, and a conquering father whose record is undefeated.Whether you’ve been burned by broken trust, carrying animosity toward God, or simply wondering what God actually thinks of you — this message will change the way you see him.God always tells the truth. And he loves you.Watch, be encouraged, and take your next step.#Hosea #GodsHeart #SteadfastLove #BigValleyGrace #WhoIsGod
