- Intro Hosea - General Introduction This introduction frames Hosea as a Holy Week prophet of wounded covenant love, false worship, judgment that exposes, and mercy that calls Israel back to communion with God.
- 1-3 Hosea 1-3 - Covenant Love and Wounded Marriage Hosea 1 3 reveals sin as betrayal of love and mercy as the Lord seeking His wounded bride, reversing names of judgment into names of restoration.
- 4-5 Hosea 4-5 - No Knowledge of God Hosea 4 5 exposes a religious collapse where truth, mercy, and the knowledge of God disappear, especially among priests and leaders entrusted with healing the people.
- 6 Hosea 6 - On the Third Day He Will Raise Us Up Hosea 6 calls Israel to return, gives third day resurrection hope, and teaches that mercy and knowledge of God are the heart of acceptable worship.
- 7-8 Hosea 7-8 - Half-Baked Repentance and Sown Wind Hosea 7 8 diagnoses shallow repentance, false political trust, and worship that multiplies altars while forgetting the living God.
- 9-10 Hosea 9-10 - Fruit for the Self Hosea 9 10 warns that fruitfulness turned toward the self becomes barrenness, while true return means sowing righteousness and seeking the Lord.
- 11 Hosea 11 - Out of Egypt I Called My Son Hosea 11 reveals the Lord as Father who taught Israel to walk, grieved over rebellion, and fulfilled His sonship in Christ called out of Egypt.
- 12-13 Hosea 12-13 - Wrestling, Memory, and Death Hosea 12 13 calls Israel to remember Jacob, abandon false strength, and hear the promise that the Lord will ransom His people from death.
- 14 Hosea 14 - Return O Israel Hosea 14 is the spiritual climax of the book: repentance becomes truthful words, God heals backsliding, and restored communion bears fruit again.
