Father Casey explores God's parental love as depicted in Hosea, revealing divine grace, heartbreak, and unrelenting compassion. It challenges punitive views of God and connects the Old Testament portrayal of God with the love seen in Jesus and the parable of the prodigal son. This helps us move past bad theology toward a deeper understanding of God’s refusal to leave us abandoned. Sermon preached by The Rev. Casey Shobe on The Eight Sunday after Pentecost.  We invite you to view the full service HERE.  Learn more about our community by visiting www.transfiguration.net.
