Morning Sermon - 23rd August 2026 - Labouring to the End: Lessons from Hosea

Episode description

This morning's sermon is delivered by Rev. George Speers.

Preaching from Hosea chapter 1, the Reverend George Speers explores what it means to serve God faithfully across a lifetime, drawing on Hosea's eighty-year ministry to a rebellious nation. Rev Speers unpacks three truths: that God sovereignly commissions his messengers, that faithful service is a stewardship to be carried through to the end, and that visible success is never the true measure of faithfulness. Along the way he weaves in examples from William Cowper, Jonathan Edwards, John Calvin and others to challenge listeners to keep labouring for God whatever the apparent results.
