No Empty Word: Relentless Pursuit, a Study on Hosea
by Paula Miles
registration opens December 4; study begins January 14, 2025
Persistent, incessant, unwavering, and persevering—relentless. Filled with shocking language and uncomfortable spiritual realities, the book of Hosea is the graphic story of our holy God’s deep love, relentless pursuit, and transformation of his faithless and sinful people. With plot twists expected in a romantic movie, God called the prophet Hosea to marry and love the unfaithful prostitute, Gomer, to live out the reality of God’s relationship with Israel—and us.
Bible teacher Paula Miles guides readers through a “behind-the-scenes” study of the prophet’s dramatic story and our place within it. Experience the relentless pursuit of the Lord.

We will look at the meta-narrative of Creation, Fall, Redemption, and Consummation, considering the different aspects of the work we are engaged in and how we see the hope and promise of the gospel in the work we are doing. Please invite friends and co-workers to join us for this study.
Robby will be guiding our discussions, and we will use chapters from the book Whatever You Do (Six Foundations) for an Integrated Life. This book will be provided when you register for the study.The book, materials, and lunch are $40.00. If you will not be eating lunch the cost of the study is $10.00.
