In Hosea’s marriage to Gomer, we see a vivid picture of God’s redeeming love. Though Gomer is unfaithful and enslaved, Hosea pursues her, pays the price for her freedom, and restores her as his own—mirroring the way Christ redeems us. Redemption begins with the initiating love of a Redeemer, requires a ransom to set us free, and calls for a new allegiance to Him. Through the cross, Jesus bankrupts Himself to buy us back, transforming our pride into humility and our slavery into freedom.

In this message, we look at the story of Mephibosheth—King Saul’s crippled grandson whom King David invites to eat at his table. This powerful passage paints a beautiful picture of God’s grace toward us. Just as David showed undeserved kindness to Mephibosheth, God brings us into His family through Jesus, calling us His sons and daughters. Through this story, we’ll explore what it means to be adopted by God, to sit at His table, and to live in the security of His love.

In the first message of our Kaleidoscope series, we explore salvation through the lens of justification. In Zechariah 3, Joshua the high priest stands before God clothed in filthy garments—an image of our guilt before a holy Judge. But God removes his iniquity and clothes him with pure vestments, pointing to the greater Joshua—Jesus Christ—who takes our sin upon Himself and gives us His righteousness. Through faith in Him, we are declared justified, forgiven, and made new.
