Betrothed to God—Forever!
Hosea 2:19-20
Halifax: 3 September 2017, 10:30am

Today we have a special service with the public welcome of new members and the baptism of two covenant children.
- For this reason, I am going to break from our regular sermon series and preach a special sermon about God’s gracious acceptance of us and our children as His spouse.
- It is beyond belief that He should take us as His spouse!

It seems that throughout the pages of scripture,
- Our gracious Lord is constantly piling up analogies and descriptions and illustrations to express to us what He has done to restore our relationship with Him.
- We are dull in our understanding of His grace and we need this.
- And today our focus will be on how He has betrothed the church to Himself again even after we broke up the marriage by adultery.
