Pastor Josh sets the who, what, when, and where of the book of Philippians. The letter to the Philippians has a theme of joy. We also know that this church was incredibly diverse. It was made u of the rich, the middle class, and the poor. Multiple cultures were working in businesses, government, and the marketplace. Its unity through diversity is a picture of what the local church should and can be. The first eight verses focus on the primacy of the gospel.

Hosea 11 & 12 reveal the conflicted heart of God as He knows He must chasten and discipline the nation of Israel but He takes no delight in doing so. He would rather they repent so He could extend mercy but like a wayward child they are determined to go their own way.

Hosea 9 & 10 are a sermon that Hosea delivered to the people of Israel at harvest time. This sermon summarizes several issues that Hosea has dealt with over and over again in the first eight chapters of the book. Once again he talks about the nation's tragic history of ingratitude and idolatry. He speaks of their loss of any sense of who they have been called to be and the certainty of God's chastening judgment.
