Sermon on Hosea 1-3

At St Faith’s (and Soulies) we are in the middle of a Bible overview series based on the structure from Vaughan Roberts’ book GOD’S BIG PICTURE (which itself is based on Graeme Goldsworthy’s framework). Here is a summary of the whole book. This past weekend I preached on Hosea 1-3 in part 5 of the series ‘The Prophesied Kingdom’.

Some really heavy going content on sin and judgement, but some amazing glimpses of hope and restoration through King David’s greater Son.

Dave Miers Sermon on Hosea 1-3 (right click etc to download)

Here is the structure of the sermon:

Context
1) The Story of Hosea is a Story of Judgement (Hosea 1:1-2:1)
2) God’s Punishment on Israel’s Unfaithfulness (Hosea 2:2-13)
3) What the Faithful God does to Woo Back His Wicked Bride (Hosea 2:14-3:5)
The PRICE has been PAID; Take the HAND of the HUSBAND; and CLING to the KING.

Isaiah 58 – Comfort, Care & Compassion

I really enjoyed being part of Northern Beaches Men’s Conference on Tuesday night. I spoke on Isaiah 58 a talk entitled “Holy Eyes”. It was basically about seeing the world the way that God sees the world and responding with comfort, care and compassion. The talk wasn’t as tight as I’d like, but from conversations people found it helpful nonetheless. Intro vid:

HOLY EYES – NBMC – Dave Miers MP3

We also heard from MISFIT AID. Click here to learn about their great work.

Here is the outline from my sermon:

Kony + Slacktivism
1) Fasting that displeases God (Isaiah 58:1-5)
2) Fasting that pleases God (Isaiah 58:6-12)
3) The call for a changed heart, eyes & life (Isaiah 58:13-14)
5 things to know in order to cultivate an attitude of care, comfort & compassion:
i) know what’s going on
ii) know the dangers of wealth
iii) know that it’s more than money
iv) know who you are ignoring
v) know the good news of Jesus

SOULIES @ KYCK 2012

Soulies Youth Community had a killer time at KYCK this past weekend! We camped onsite, it didn’t rain! Andy, Nat, Bel, Michelle + Nick from St Faith’s Night Church served us by cooking up some sweeeeet food. St Paul’s Castle Hill band CITY SURRENDER were tight, energetic and encouraging as they lead 2200+ young punks in song. Finally, Malcolm Gill and Sam Chan gave, in my opinion, the best series of talks I’ve heard at KYCK. Solid, intertwined, bold, biblical and engaging.

See below for more pics, and tweet summaries of each talk:
