First Comes Love - Week 06 Launch
WELCOME
Welcome to Week 6 of the First Comes Love Reading Plan! This reading plan is designed to partner with Compassion Christian Church’s sermon series of the same name, which you can find information about right here.
We all start with innocent notions of love that our world can quickly shatter; turns out relationships are more complicated than a nursery rhyme! In the First Comes Love series we’re going to examine the biblical understanding of love by focusing on topics like friendship, singleness, loneliness, marriage, sex and family. In this reading plan, we will spend time in stories and teachings that will deepen our own understanding of the Bible’s instruction in these areas.
Before We Start
One important aspect of understanding the Bible’s teachings on love is to understand that even the word “love” in the Bible doesn’t always mean what we imagine it to mean in English. This video will help us understand that even the actual word “love” often carries deeper meaning in Scripture.
Agape - Love
Another important aspect of understanding the Bible’s teaching is understanding the context of the original author and audience. For this week, we are diving into the book of Hosea. Hosea was a prophet in the northern kingdom of Israel, who God used to exemplify the love God has for His people, through the marriage of Hosea and his wife, Gomer.
Background on Hosea
Looking Ahead
Here is a list of this week's verses:
Monday, May 13 - Hosea 1
Tuesday, May 14 - Hosea 2
Wednesday, May 15 - Hosea 3
Thursday, May 16 - Hosea 4
Friday, May 17 - Hosea 11
