Church version - The Wooing of the Human Heart: God as Warrior-Lover
This sermon message, “The Wooing of the Human Heart,” unpacks how God pursues relationship with humanity—especially the nation of Israel—by insisting on truth rather than mere displays of power. The speaker traces the theme from Abraham through the Song of Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah and into Romans 11, using vivid images like the warrior-lover, the vineyard parable, and the language of divorce and restoration.Key topics include election and foreknowledge, the preserved remnant, Israel’s fall and future restoration, the grafting of Gentiles into the olive tree, and the role of discipline and consequence in God’s wooing. The message emphasizes God’s determination to win a free-willed love and the church’s call to humility within God’s covenantal plan.No external guests are featured; the episode is a reflective sermon aimed at helping listeners understand biblical pictures of divine love, judgment, and ultimate reconciliation.
