As we step into 2026, God is calling His people back to undivided devotion.
In this message, we explore the biblical picture of covenant love between God and His people through the story of Israel, Hosea, and ultimately Jesus. Scripture shows us that idolatry is not just rebellion. It is misplaced devotion. It happens when good things become ultimate things and slowly replace God at the center of our hearts.
This message challenges us to look honestly at what we think about most, what we desire most, and what we are unwilling to surrender. God does not want partial affection or divided loyalty. He is not one of many. He is Lord of all.
Jesus is not calling us into religion. He is calling us into covenant. A relationship marked by faithfulness, surrender, and love.
As this new year begins, this message invites you to examine your heart, lay down competing idols, and return to your first love.
