In this message, we continue in Hosea, looking at chapters 2 and 3 and the picture of two broken marriages, Hosea and Gomer and ultimately God and His people.

We see how the relationship breaks down through unfaithfulness, self-sufficiency, and simply forgetting God. But what’s so powerful in this passage is that instead of walking away, God says, “Therefore… I will allure her.” He pursues. He speaks tenderly. He turns a valley of trouble into a door of hope.

This is a story about consequences, yes, but even more, it’s a story about covenant faithfulness. God doesn’t cancel His promises.

He restores. He redeems. He refines.

Hosea buying Gomer back is a beautiful picture of what Christ has done for us. We were bought with a price. And while restoration can be messy and painful, God’s goal is always intimacy and that we would truly know Him.

In this sermon, Philip Richardson ( a member of Freedom Church Romford, holds a Ph.D. in Biblical Studies, and serves as the Director of Theological Education for OMS), introduces the book of Hosea and unpacks the powerful message of chapter 1. Set in a time of political turmoil and spiritual unfaithfulness, Hosea’s life becomes a living illustration of God’s relationship with His people.

Philip explores Hosea’s marriage to Gomer and the symbolic meaning behind the names of their children, revealing both the seriousness of spiritual drift and the depth of God’s covenant love. Even in judgment, God’s desire is restoration and He pursues His people with mercy and faithfulness.

In this recording, we explore the heart of prayer, not just as words spoken, but as time spent in relationship with God. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 3:18, we reflect on how prayer invites us to behold the glory of the Lord and experience a deep, ongoing transformation.

Join us as we unpack what it means to be called God’s children, how spending time with Him changes us from the inside out and why even the messy, challenging moments in prayer are part of our journey toward spiritual growth. Through examples like Peter and Paul, we discover that transformation takes time, patience and faith.

Whether you’re new to prayer or have been walking with God for years, this episode encourages you to find rest in His presence and embrace the freedom found in being with God.

In this recording, we celebrate the baptism of members of our community. This preach explores the significance of baptism as a public declaration of faith and a symbol of union with Jesus Christ, highlighting the deeper meaning beyond tradition.

The recording also includes the testimonies of those getting baptised and our young people feeding back about their time away at the Youth Weekend Away.

01 | Talking to God | PRAYER PRACTICE | Matthew 6: 9-13 |

As we begin 2026, we turn our focus to prayer—not as a last resort, but as the foundation of our life with God.

Prayer is how we commune with the Father, through Jesus, by the Spirit, and how our inner lives are shaped before our public lives.

Rooted in Scripture and guided by the Lord’s Prayer, this message calls us to grow in both private and corporate prayer, seeking not just answers from God, but deeper knowledge of God Himself.

Chris Speller opens this series in Luke 2:10, exploring fear in the Christmas story and the angel’s invitation to “fear not.”

Drawing from the stories of Mary, the shepherds, and Zechariah, this message reveals how fear often meets us at the very moments God is working most powerfully. Through Scripture and worship, Fear Not invites listeners to surrender completely to God each day, silence the voices of fear and anchor their hope in His unchanging promises.

Rooted in the truth of the Gospel—that God entered our world to set us free from fear—this recording is a reminder that faith grows when we choose trust over fear and praise over anxiety.
