And the&nbsp;Lord&nbsp;said to him,&nbsp;“Call her name No Mercy,&nbsp;for&nbsp;I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel, to forgive them at all.&nbsp;^7&nbsp;But&nbsp;I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and I will save them by the&nbsp;Lord&nbsp;their God. I&nbsp;will not save them by bow or by sword or by war or by horses or by horsemen.”</p> <p>^8&nbsp;When she had weaned No Mercy, she conceived and bore a son.&nbsp;^9&nbsp;And the&nbsp;Lord&nbsp;said,&nbsp;“Call his name Not My People,&nbsp;for&nbsp;you are not my people, and I am not your God.”</p> <p>^10&nbsp;&nbsp;Yet&nbsp;the number of the children of Israel shall be&nbsp;like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered.&nbsp;And&nbsp;in the place where it was said to them,&nbsp;“You are not my people,” it shall be said to them,&nbsp;“Children&nbsp;of&nbsp;the living God.”&nbsp;^11&nbsp;And&nbsp;the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and&nbsp;they shall appoint for themselves one head. And they shall go up from the land, for great shall be the day of Jezreel.</p> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Israel&#8217;s Unfaithfulness Punished</h3> <p><strong>2&nbsp;</strong>&nbsp;Say to your brothers,&nbsp;“You are my people,”&nbsp;and to your sisters,&nbsp;“You have received mercy.”</p> <h4 class="wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-heading"><strong>Sermon Video:</strong></h4> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> <iframe class="youtube-player" width="642" height="362" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/azWPq-t8HLo?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe> </div></figure> <p>The post <a href="https://chinesegospelchurch.net/cgcse/messages/turn-from-spiritual-adultery-hosea-11-21/">Turn From Spiritual Adultery &#8211; Hosea 1:1-2:1</a> appeared first on <a href="https://chinesegospelchurch.net/cgcse">CGC Scarborough English</a>.</p>
