When God Becomes the Lion

Christian Lee (2025 December 14, Sunday, Storyline Church)

The God who once saved Israel and shepherded her through the desert becomes her lion. Hosea 13 confronts our illusions of safety, exposes the danger of self-sufficiency, and ultimately points us to the gospel—where God redirects His fierce justice away from sinners and toward death itself. This is not a message about quick or cliche answers. It’s about the kind of hope that can face an uncertain future without fear because death no longer gets the final word.
