this will be a fun weekend you'll see okay look I don't really want to talk to anybody okay I mean no offense but I hate it out here and and I'm just trying to get through this as quick as possible okay I understand appreciate it [Music] all right since we're all gathered around let's take a moment to get to know one another a little better all right I want to ask everybody a few questions is this gonna be one of those dumb games Stewart oh this isn't gonna be one of those dumb games Stewart think of it as an experiment all right and everyone has to answer so here's the question what is your favorite book in the bottle coop you go first favorite book how about Gospel of John Gospel of John Kerry do I have to yeah you have to come on that deal Steve how much you Romans Romans good game boy I prefer Amos what are you laughing at Amos yes Amos it's in the Old Testament I know where Ava's is leave it to game boy to be different game boy says he likes Amos there's some good stuff in Amos we'll go with that and last Ashley Stewart Ashley please Matthew John really doesn't matter you gotta choose one Matthew Matthew it is okay now can each of you tell me something about your favorite book it can be a verse something that spoke to you anything coop me yeah now tell me something about John I don't know I can't think anything right on the spot okay okay let's let Steve go come on it's your turn can't really think of anything right now okay Steve how about you for all have sinned and have come short of the glory of God Romans 3:23 excellent that's why we all need Jesus about your game boy you want me to tell you something about the Book of Amos you said was your favorite book yeah but I didn't know you're gonna have a pop quiz on it oh all right sorry Ashley yes you tell me something about math you know um I can't all right thanks for being honest all right last question if you could change one thing about your character what would it be coop I don't know I never thought about it okay well take your time I guess not to be so scared of everything like bugs hey that's a legitimate fear doctors diagnosed it all the time yeah bug doctors I agree with coop it's a legitimate fear I accept it Carey Stewart no friends but these questions they have a purpose please just give me something I don't know reach out to more people I guess it's good Steve be more sensitive to others I realized that a lot of people look good on the outside but on the inside they're really hurting okay good game boy I guess be more attentive my mind wanders sometimes sometimes okay okay and Ashley I don't like this I know it's the last question come on Ashley I don't help them through this point be more neat be more neat Ashley you're like the neatest person I've ever met no no that's just good it's good we could all um present company included be a little more neat okay what's the point the point is that you all gave really good answers for the most part and if you notice they were all pretty different I mean that's the point it's okay to be different we don't all have to try to be like everyone else and we need to recognize that we were all created by God to be ourselves instead of just criticizing each other and tearing each other down we should see each other as special in the eyes of the Lord and help each other telling a plan sounds good Stuart okay Oh also I think just while we're here might be a good idea to brush up on our favorite books in the Bible I was just messin with you is just a twig not a bug but not funny Steve what's wrong stay put a bug on my face it's just a toy Steve didn't feel like it I was that heart attack man I was just trying to help you overcome your fear well surely you can find a better way to do that come on it's nighttime honey not funny Steve okay okay I'm sorry coop Lisa wasn't a real bug yeah well just for that I'm not paying you back for you can of bug spray it's just a joke no joke three people left not favorite or last said oh sorry still hoping hoping for what you know I say you trying to talk to her earlier well someone has to maybe you should you said you wanted to reach out more set your motive reach out why jealous of her yeah no way I think you are I think you like her some compassion my mom knows Ashley's grandmother and Ashley is living with her because her mom's living with her new boyfriend s roms always finding guys that have money to buy her things maybe Ashley's the way she is because she doesn't know any better or maybe she's just the way she is because she likes it and she's his guys to get nice things just like her mother has it ever occurred to you that maybe one of the purposes of this trip is to show her a better way that girl is nothing like us and she never will be you don't know that she may be tough on the outside but on the inside I think she's really hurting he can be the one to rescue her right yep [Music] good pancakes bet yeah they sure are thank you I'll have some more free in just a minute it's actually Stuart's recipe Stuart no I don't think so oh come on Beth makes the pancakes I make the French toast hey Game Boy how you liking your pancakes I'm finding them very palatable palatable yeah it means he likes them you speak a different language Game Boy hey Carrie don't you go see if Ashley would like some pancakes I would really prefer not to please I think it'd be a nice gesture okay I haven't pancakes for breakfast how many do you want who said I wanted pancakes this isn't a restaurant she's making pancakes oh how many I don't want any she said she's the one of me not good enough for her so Stuart what are we gonna do today well we're gonna change the oil in a van and rotate the tires and since we're there he might as well get the vacuum cleaner out and you know just kind of spruce it up a little we came here to get Matt work he's just messing with you Cooper yeah plus there's not an electrical outlet to run the vacuum I mean why do you think I brought extra batteries for my game always thinking their game boy so what are we gonna do I have an idea I say we go scuba diving in the lake that sounds like fun you

after breakfast there it is thanks Carrie you're the best okay guys thanks for helping me look for the game now let's go the fish are waiting I got a love game boy told you I didn't take it you know if somebody doesn't catch a fish we're not gonna have anything to eat for dinner what catch some you should give a prize out to the first person who catches one what they get to change the oil on the bus that's funny I know it's not gonna catch the first way dad boy you got one hey Carrie you ever been fishing before yeah all the time really when my dad used to fishing tournaments now I would go with him being in a boat does it make you a fisherman kay I beg your pardon oh sorry uh Mitchell woman I bet I've been fishing more than you have nope not a chance coop man grew up with his own personal fishing pot right in his backyard I've been fishing ever since I was a little Bobby got you there Carrie well we'll see who catches the first one would you mind taking a drink to Stuart for me I guess thank you you know what you supposed to do if you catch a big one okay a big one in this Lake sure kind of like the big ones used to catch in your pond oh she got you there too well when you think you got one the first thing you got to do is take a step back and pull you pull hard like this hey I'm sorry actually you are such an idiot Ashley do you know how much this outfit costs I said I'm sorry yeah well I'm gonna send you the dry-cleaning bill he said he was sorry like it matters now why did you even come on this trip anyway you obviously don't want to be here you think I wanted to be here and you certainly don't fit in Carrie my grandmother made me come on this trip okay I hate this church stuff why do you think you're too good for us [Music] alright guys just keep fishing I'll be back in a minute Carrie I don't want to talk alright I don't like her and she doesn't like me and that's that so what he became over here to say you can just save it she needs our help she's beyond our help what if the Lord had that attitude about us she's the one with the attitude can't you see that okay even if she does how should we react I'm not sorry for what I said it was the truth like I said they just save it Ashley you just leave me alone okay Ashley it was an accident you know what she was right okay I don't belong here I don't belong anywhere that is not so we love having you here with us I just I just want to go home look I think if you just meet everyone halfway you'd see they're a great group and that's just gonna fix everything look I understand that your life's been hard with your family situation no you don't understand I've never met my father because he left when I was little and I've lost count how many boyfriends my mom has had in the case of all of him Ashley's always in the way and I get shuffled to some family member is that how life is for you is it because if not please do not tell me that you understand well I didn't look good my girl is really troubled oh well can you blame her I mean the way she didn't past around house carry I don't know probably feels terrible the way she blew up at her what can we do nothing for now she let both girls be alone for a while actually just needs a huge dose of unconditional love what'd you say I said needs a huge dose of unconditional love [Music] all right since this is our last night here I think it would be appropriate to end with a story can you tell ghost stories let me tell one hey tell him about the guy with the hook I'm gonna tell the story alright it's gonna be a love story not a ghost story well it's more guys than girls we should be able to think can I at least still have a guy with the hook in it yeah what a love story about a guy with a hook this is actually a Bible story about a man named Hosea he's a prophet in the Old Testament come on Stuart the Old Testament yeah this is the now not the venn you haven't even heard the story yet it's a good one I promise and you might be surprised to find out how it applies to us I'd rather hear a ghost story no friends Ian's hosi its Hosea you don't know the guy yes I do I've read Hosea before you have not yes I have you ever know guys all right now in order to understand the story of Hosea you got to know something about the times he was living in in those days God's people Israel was divided into two kingdoms the Northern Kingdom and the southern kingdom now the southern kingdom was faithful in following God but the northern kingdom not so much they had chosen to worship pagan gods from neighboring countries instead of following the Lord because of this lack of faithfulness by the Northern Kingdom God was sending in the Assyrians to attack and enslave them but even in his judgment God loved his people he wanted to give them every opportunity to come back to him and so he sent them a warning he sent them a prophet a man named Jose for I desire mercy and not sacrifice the knowledge of God and not burnt offerings so says the Lord our God therefore shall the land mourn and everyone who dwells therein shall languish with the beasts of the field and with the fowls in heaven yay the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away I thought you said that this was a love story it sounds depressing sounds like the making of an awesome video game where there's a Syrian guys come to attack yeah Stuart don't worry Carrie don't worry the love story part is coming I just gotta keep setting the stage a little bit alright to God the people of Israel are like his wife his one true love only she keeps being unfaithful to him by worshiping other gods what God really wanted was for someone to understand how he was feeling that's where Rosa it comes in Hosea was a good man and God knew that he could relate to him it's also where Jose his future wife Gomer comes in wait a minute Gomer what kind of name is that what it's her name I don't see anything wrong with it right up there with a Miss huh hey what if game boy married Gomer Game Boy and Gomer like I was saying this is where Gomer comes into the picture now the Bible tells us that Gomer was a woman of harlotry but what we don't know is was she already a harlot or was that just something that was in her heart that she would one day act out on that's not even really the point the point is that she would never be faithful to one man she would sell herself and her love in exchange for expensive jewelry in a place of status in her society in a way she was kind of like the people of the Northern Kingdom never being faithful to their God always looking to other false gods for prosperity or prestige and then God said to Hosea take this woman as your wife [Music] such beautiful bracelets yes they are indeed are you buying them for someone from my wife a very fortunate woman she is I wish I were that fortunate maybe one day you will be [Music] Dahmer Luzia there you are I have been looking for you why did you leave the temple they've heard your sayings before they are not just saying this these are prophecies from the Lord I decided to come to the marketplace ahead of you such beautiful bracelets you know we cannot afford them sometimes it is better not to even gaze upon the things we cannot have it's a beautiful do you remember this place come there hmm this is where I first approached you to tell you that God wanted me to marry him I never understood why you would want to marry someone like me because it was the Lord's will and I promise to love you a lifetime you have business left Rosetta kya go ahead I will see you at home [Music] oh there Hosea Zedekiah my friends huh and what have you for me today another jar I'll yes ah here you are a beauty I can see that you work hard on these creating these from the dust and clay helped me to understand the Lord better I see how fragile we all really are hmm well I just hope you keep bringing your work so I can sell to my customers yes of course I will it is our only means of provision here is your share from the last thank you I was afraid I must confess that my jars might stop selling you were speaking to the people again today yes I delivered to them the words of the Lord why do you talk of such great judgment times are good to some it may seem so Zedekiah but the truth is we have abandoned our true God in exchange for little statues that we pretend our gods something terrible is coming and if the people of the Northern Kingdom did not repent and turn from their ways we will all suffer a horrible fate your God does not sound so kind he is not only my god Zedekiah have you forgotten the name of your true God his name is Jehovah let us not talk of such things we do not want to upset the work in relationship that we have horrible things I see that Gomer was about the marketplace today yes she came with me she is a very beautiful woman but she has a wandering eye I see the way she looks at other men please do not see such things since at the Chaya it is the truth she is not a woman you can trust with your heart I do not understand why you're married the Lord told me to do so surely they were finer and purer women for you to marry she is a need of love like everyone else Gomer the daughter of Dubois he has never lacked in love she's being faithful to me now and there is a difference between the love she is used to receiving and the love that I have for her only a broken heart will this woman give you Hosea I'll see you again soon so long my friend [Music] they've been talking about you but people do not like what you were saying so why do you persist the words I speak are from the Lord for they are harsh no my wife they are truth always the truth because of your words they do not speak with me either I cannot change what the Lord instructs me to say well why does God not show mercy to the people God has shown great mercy with his people by allowing them to live in their sinful ways for such a long time that people have forgotten the great things the Lord has done for them perhaps if God was not so judgmental the people would respond Oh God I pray that your words might affect the people I pray that they would turn their hearts back to you again please God forgive us our sins help us to turn away from sacrifices to idols cause us to be the people who long for you and only for you Stuart yes tea I don't mean to interrupt you here but I've read the story of Gomer and Hosea before and I don't remember any of this well you're not wrong the book of Hosea doesn't go into detail about how Hosea and Gomer met or the circumstances surrounding their marriage it simply says that God told Jose had to marry Gomer and so he did what I'm doing is just coming up with a way that it might have happened so you can get a little more appreciation for the facts we do know from the Bible that Hosea married Gomer and the Gomer gave birth to a son and the Lord told Hosea to call the child Jezreel because he would put an end to the Kingdom of Israel okay what was his name does who Jezreel you see the judgment was coming and the Lord was trying to warn the people it was God's will that the child be called Jezreel as a prophesy against the northern kingdom oh wait a minute Stu I've got a question if God knew that Gomer was gonna be unfaithful then why would he have Ozanne marry her especially because you said that he was a good man God wanted Hosea to understand him I mean that's the key here he wanted Hosea to love so deeply knowing that it would never be returned it's a hard lesson but in the end well I'm getting ahead of myself he's finally sleeping I have to go to the temple again tomorrow to sell another jar yes and I need to speak to the people again osya why can you not just be concerned about taking care of us boy you have enough food we have a place to live a place for our son to sleep it is the people we need to be concerned about these are good times for the people the harvest was plentiful merchants are selling their goods but we don't acknowledge the one who is providing for us and we have traded the Living God for silent statues no more than pieces of clay Isiah what have you gained by obeying your God how can you say such a thing he is your God too we need money Hosea not more prophecies of doom hear this you priests hearken hew house of Israel give hero you house of the king for judgment is toward you I know if I am an Israel is not hid from me for now o fim you commit prostitution and hiss really is defiled he speaks of prostitution while his own wife is a harlot they do not frame their doings to turn unto their God for the spirit of prostitution is in the land and they have not known the Lord and the pride of Israel does testify to his face therefore shall his trial and their fry in fall in their iniquity Judah also shall fall with them they have dealt treacherously against the Lord for they have begotten strange children so says the Lord our God the only person bearing strange children is your wife you speak of this judgment to come only to provoke the people my heart breaks for God's people your words are false the words that I deliver to you are the words of the Lord and they are true we need to take heed before it is too late if you keep speaking these words we shall do treacherously with you hosea [Music] Hosea so good to see you my friend I had thought you had found yourself another business partner no no it has been hard for me to find time to make jars these days which was this one perhaps if you would spend less time warning the people and more time tending to your jars you would find yourself better suited the Lord and his work must always come first be careful with the people Hosea I do not want to see anything happen to you neither do i we'll see you next time yes Hosea you forgot your pay why wouldn't do people listen because they probably thought Hosea was a nutcase with all that judgment talked yeah and you heard Zedekiah times were good sometimes it's hard to hear God when it's going well yeah but these people are death well it's easy to forget that he's the one who allows us to prosper well I'm not forgetting and I would have listened no you wouldn't have yes I would have and I would've helped Hosea - and you know what coop I bet Hosea would have appreciated that help he had returned so soon I have said what I needed to say to the people did you get a good price for the jar yes yes I did Zedekiah he is always fair with me where is a payment I do not have it I have forgotten to take it from seda kaya that money is our only means seda kaya is a loyal friends he will keep the money for me I shall go there tomorrow and get it I am tired not from the day's journey and you are bringing us to poverty the Lord is providing and soon we'll have nothing at all tell me where are you going to the marketplace to get your payment from Zedekiah tomorrow will be soon enough no matter Zedekiah Gomer what brings you to the marketplace at close they've come from Athens paid yes of course Hosea left in such a hurry I tried calling out to him here you go thank you we need this payment you have a fine man who knows a man who is bringing us to poverty his John's always bring a good price but it doesn't make enough of that this means too much time to be concerned about the people indeed your husband speaks boldly for his God have you noticed no one is listening what I have noticed is that your husband loves you very much [Music] it is you I did not mean to scare you you surprised me I've been looking for you each day at the marketplace I do not come here often want to see you we were married I'm giving my wife a bill of divorcement I have a husband who loves me husbands have no concern to me but you you're a very beautiful woman and you deserve beautiful things so beautiful beautiful things that I can give you [Music] [Music] I've been waiting for you oh say how you frightened me I was unable to sleep you said that you were going to the market to see Zedekiah but this was many hours ago my wife where have you been I went also to see my father I thought it'd be best to spend time with him he isn't feeling well blames health is failing I thought it'd be best I spent time with him yes of course I wish you to see to play him as often as you like this Gomer what a loser I was AI should've dumped it Hosea was doing what God told him to do can't dump her that's right when you make a vow to the Lord you keep it no matter what the circumstances are the situation you stay true to your word and marriage is a vow the Lord put that deep into Hosea's heart well I didn't mean from there really dumper I know you didn't you just didn't like her on faithfulness to Hosea just as God didn't like his people's on faithfulness to him the Bible tells us that Gomer conceived again and gave birth to a daughter and the Lord told Hosea to name this child Leroux Amma that he would no more have mercy upon the house of Israel hear the word of the Lord you children of Israel for the Lord has a controversy with the inhabitants of this land there is no truth nor mercy nor knowledge of God in the land there is only cursing and lying killing and stealing and committing adultery therefore shall the land mourn and everyone that dwells in its shell languish these are the words of the Lord our God Hosea dare you continue to speak these words of judgment against us I say to you jaha's and to all the people you bow down to gods that are no gods and you have rejected the Lord God your true maker but we are blessed persons are full we have no need for the ways of your God the ways of the Lord are right and the just shall walk in them Hosea is jealous because we are prosperous and he has come into poverty do you see this barren olive tree such will be the result of your prosperity you shall all of you become as barren as this tree if you do not turn back to the true God the God of Abraham of Isaac and of Jacob it is you that is barren I'm God's I've well taken care of us to all the people I say after the judgment your God will not forget his children the day will come when all Israel will return unto the Lord and this tree shall be full again [Music] Hosea is jealous because we are prosperous and he has come into poverty it is you that is barren and gods have well taken care of us [Music] did you steal it Cooper would you stop interrupting I just want to know if she stole it no the rich guy bought it for it makes you say that cuz that's what rich guys do they buy things for women that's how they get him to like them how do you know I know what I now plus Jose his savings were still in his safe spot who was the rich guy but money can't buy true life yeah but that's not what Gomer was thinking sorry sir but this Hosea guy may be your profit at all but he's not very smart yep I saw through this girl my lady at least a half-hour ago you know what you're all pleading a very good case and I hear you loud and clear which brings me to this there's a verse in the Bible all the way back in the Book of Numbers it says you can be sure that your sin will find you out so what do you think about to happen she's gonna get caught I doubt it he's not my Hosea well you guys stop talking unless to continue his story you guys Terry you're the one who started talking first a couple of days later if naive what they are I'm surprised to see you how is my son-in-law I'm well it is you I am concerned about Gomer says your health has not been good my health is very strong these days Gama said you were ill but I am well how is my daughter I have not seen her in many weeks in many weeks she has lied to me she was not with her father so where could she have gone Hosea where could she have gone [Music] I think already know the answer to that my friend I did not want to say anything before but there has been talk of Goma and things no not you not said you need to know the truth roma has been unfaithful again you do not know this for certain I'll ask her I would not trust the answer from that harlot do not call her that why do you defend her because I love her and then you are a fool you would love her even though she has done this and more than once she is my wife okay I was there enough is enough yeah she's toast first girl melasma she cheats time to throw this fish back in the water but not back in my pond I don't want her he's not gonna get rid of Gomer why not he knows she's doing wrong yeah but you're missing the point she's been nothing but trouble I'm with coop who's he is not gonna get rid of her guys the next day Hosea was working on a jar how come on where are you going we're gonna see my father father yes I want to see about his health and prepare him some food ah good let me come with you we can ask Lidia to care for the children no please stay here I would like to see him alone and go seem together another time when will you return I will be back before sunset a goner yes please give the blame greeting for me [Music] please God I cannot take this anymore my heart will not last I would send her away but I know I cannot but is not your will I have made a promise to you and I will keep it I don't think I would have been like that I probably would have been mad at God yeah had to be tough to deal with well maybe that's why God chose Hosea because he knew Hosea would understand and yet stay faithful news out I think it's cool that Hosea is gonna stay with her even after what he found out about Gomer what Hosea was going through right now is what God was going through with his people Hosea was feeling God's pain so the Bible tells us that Gomer had another son and the Lord told Hosea to call him lo of me which has the meaning you are not my people and I will not be your God why do you insist on these name I name them as the Lord tells me oh we are being ridiculed by our people as if our children is not what is troubling us what do you mean I see this jewelry you are wearing Gong there I know we cannot afford this with what we make from the jars they are gifts it is wrong what you are doing I do not know what you were saying you do go man it is wrong for you to be seeing another man I told you I could not attainment he only wants you for what you can offer him I want to be with you for what I can give to you you give me nothing he does it is against God's holy law I do not need your God are you kidding me you speak of this student that is to come let it come well you got destroy us all God does not want to destroy us he wants to save us [Music] Hey we celebrate the leaving of my wife I pray that no man here ever gets married to one such as she we can see you are no longer lonely no no no before I found one far lovelier a toast to the most beautiful woman in the land why why why why why why Lord why why why why why why the idols of the people are silver and gold they are the work of men's hands nothing more than just piece of clay mouths have they but they speak not they have eyes but they see not ears have they but they hear not nor is there even any breath in their mouths everyone who trusts in them shall become like them [Music] your people have rejected you [Music] as Goma has rejected me I feel sorry for Hosea he deserved better here Hosea is doing right in gomers doing wrong yeah Hosea is the one who has to pay plus nobody's doing anything about what he's saying so you got Hosea taking care of his kids he's busy making jars he's got to speak God's Word to the people and nobody's listening to him and what's go more off doing she's in some 5-star Hotel with the rich guy Thank You game boy for capturing that so eloquently however there is a little more to the story my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge because you have rejected knowledge I also shall reject you you shall be no priest to me for seeing as how you have forgotten the law of your God I also shall forget your children as they were increased so they sinned against me therefore will I change their glory into shame I shall punish them for their ways and reward them for their doings for they shall eat and not have enough because they have left off to take heed to the Lord son of Mary wait for me Zedekiah those were strong words to the people the patience of our God will not endure forever you continue to warn us of this great judgment that is to come but nothing has yet happened all is well no Zedekiah all is not well the people do not worship the one who created them nor do they even fear His Holy Name judgment is coming as Gomer returned no more my love come and dance with me come dance dance with me dance dance with me mmm your

desire my charms tonight I do not care to see this one anymore that girl auction please leave me let me go please [Music] My Lord God how can I love one who loves another well I did you want me to marry her she has been unfaithful so many times I know now how your heart grieves over your people that have abandoned you so how can you still love us how how [Music] you love us because your love is not dependent on us oh my lord God how great is your love [Music] and now what say you of this one do I have a bid she is still of childbearing age if that suits you so who will start the bidding no

Homer of barley to [Laughter] [Music] [Music] shall not be for another that will be for you always [Music] [Music] and he bought her back I call it amazing love the story of Hosea is a picture it's a picture of God's amazing love for us and just as Hosea bought back his own life with all that he had Jesus Christ paid fifteen pieces of silver for us when he died on that cross and he certainly gave all that he had and if we through faith believe in Jesus Christ and receive him into our lives well then all our sins are forgiven and we enter into God's family forever you know Stuart would never tell you this part but he is my Hosea [Music] when I was really little my parents were divorced and I was passed back and forth between them for years I felt so unloved like neither parent really wanted me and then I met Stuart at church and he made me feel so special I think it was the first time that I really realized what love was and that he is my real father I don't think I could do what Hosea did I'm not sure any of us could Steve I don't know that any of us could muster up that much selfless love to love someone who treated us like that it's hard enough just to like someone sometimes even when they're just a little bit different than we are but just like we need Jesus to get to heaven for salvation we also need him to live his life through us daily Jesus in you could love a Gomer what happened to the Northern Kingdom and all the Hosea's prophecies did they come true yes Cooper they did the people didn't turn back to God and so the Assyrians came and they enslaved the Israelites for many years just goes to show how serious God is about his word you see most of us don't Revere the lor in the way we should Hosea did yes Steve I was there dead so what you guys
