Hosea, a violent world and God

This past week our world was rocked (yet again) by the terror driven tragedy in Paris (Beruit and other places).  What to do about a world filled with violence?  This is nothing new for God, sadly.  Here we look at God’s Word through the prophet Hosea and the violence of that age.
Note: The sermon consists of the lector and I going back and forth, concluding with another Biblical story told by him.
