Bible Challenge: Hosea 14

Posted on October 8, 2022 Posted By: KBCF Categories: Bible Challenge

Take Home Principle: 

“I will return to the Lord and put my trust in Him by confessing my sin and turning away from my “idols.””

Discovery Question

  1. What is God calling Israel to do in these verses?
  2. How does someone who has sinned and rebelled return to the Lord?
  3. How does God promise to restore his people?

Understanding Questions 

  1. Hosea described God’s Promised restoration of Israel using several plants/flowers.What is the significance of these agricultural terms, and what do these symbolize?
  2. How serious is the sin of idolatry in God’s eyes? Why do you think Israel always succumbs to this sin, despite God’s (and through his many prophets) warnings, rebukes and neverending reminders/?
  3. The passage is a very passionate call to return to God. What seems to fuel the Lord’s message?

Application Questions

  1. Confessing our sin is difficult because of our pride. As we remember that God wants to see a humble and penitent heart,take a moment and verbally confess your sin before God. If God is leading you to confess your sin before your brother/sister, take the step and confess.
  2. Choosing to follow God by returning to Him promises an abundant life (“Your fruitfulness comes from me” Hosea 14:8). Social media to a large extent has defined for us different “fruitful life” in the form of apple imac 24, gourmet food, hermes bags, beachfront houses or rare epi albos. Are there sinful ways God has called your attention to using Hosea 14?What steps are you taking to protect yourself from making and worshipping “modern day idols”?
  3. Can you think of ways how you can help a brother/sister return to the Lord if he or she is struggling or unwilling to repent?

Mahalagang Prinsipyo sa Buhay: 

“Ako ay manunumbalik sa Panginoon! Ilalagay ko ang aking tiwala sa Kanya, aaminin ko ang aking kasalanan at tatalikuran ko ang aking mga diyos-diyosan.”

Pagtuklas

  1. Ano ang panawagan ng Diyos sa Israel ayon sa mga talata?
  2. Paano manunumbalik sa Panginoon ang isang nagkasala at nagrerebelde sa Diyos?
  3. Paano ipinangako ng Diyos na ibabalik ang kanyang mga tao?

Pag-unawa

  1. Inilarawan ni Hosea ang ipinangakong pagpapanumbalik ng Israel? Anu-ano ang mga kahulugan ng mga ginamit na paglalarawan?
  2. Gaano kalubha ang kasalanan ng idolatriya sa mata ng Diyos? Bakit patuloy na nahuhulog ang Israel sa kasalanang ito?
  3. Ang sipi ay isang napaka madamdaming panawagan upang bumalik sa Diyos. Ano ang nagpapa apoy sa mensahe ng Panginoon?

Pagtugon

  1. Ang pasalitang pag amin ng ating kasalanan ay mahirap dahil sa ating pagmamataas. Alalahanin nating gusto ng Diyos makita ang ating mapagpakumbaba at nagsisising puso. Aminin natin ang ating kasalanan sa Diyos. Kung may pag udyok ang Banal na espiritu, aminin sa iyong kapatiran ang iyong kasalanan.
  2. Ang panunumbalik at pagtalima sa Diyos ay may pangako ang masaganang buhay. (Hosea 14:8) Ang social media ay tumutukoy sa ibang mabungang buhay gaya ng “apple mac 24”, masasarap na pagkain, “hermes bag” magagarang bahay o mga “epi albo”. Meron ka bang mga diyos na gawang kamay?Ano ang mga ginagawa mo upang makaiwas sa mga ito?
  3. May mga paraan ka bang naiisip upang matulungan mo ang iyong kapatid na nagkakasala upang makapanumbalik sa Diyos?
