This week as we near the end of our series “A Thrill Of Hope” Discover Church pastor, Preston Ulmer, explores the prophecy that the savior of all would be born intentionally into the wrong tribe.

Have you ever been to a wedding and watched as two people vow to give themselves to each other for the rest of their lives? It's a moving, emotional experience right? The bible uses the image of a wedding to describe God's relationship to us pretty often & most of the time it means to draw certain emotions out of us. So what exactly is the scriptures trying to communicate about who God is & what should our response be to that? This week in "I Love My Church" pastor, Corey Garris, takes a look at the book of Hosea to answer these questions to help us bring some clarity to this compelling but sometimes confusing imagery.

This week in "I Love My Church" pastor, Corey Garris, lays out exactly what the bible has to say about the word family & what that means as we live life with those around us.
