A Half Baked Faith

🎙️Christian Lee (2025 October 5, Sunday, Storyline Church)
Many people today want just enough of God to feel safe—but not enough to be changed. Hosea 7:8 calls that a “half-baked faith.” In this message, discover how Jesus—the true Bread of Life—can take your divided heart and make it whole.
📖 Scripture: Hosea 7 

The Test of True Repentance

🎙️Christian Lee (2025 September 28, Sunday, Storyline Church)
Many people say “sorry” to God but never truly turn their lives around. In Hosea 6, God confronts His people for their shallow repentance—words without love, religion without mercy. Jesus quoted this same verse when He challenged the Pharisees, and He pointed to Judgment Day in Matthew 25, showing that the way we treat “the least of these” reveals the authenticity of our repentance and transformation.
This message unpacks what true repentance looks like: not just words out of your mouth, but love out of your life—especially justice and compassion for the poor, marginalized, and broken.
📖 Scripture: Hosea 6:1-7:1

The God Who Wounds and Withdraws

🎙️Christian Lee (2025 September 21, Sunday, Storyline Church)
What do you do when God feels more like a lion than a lamb—when He wounds instead of comforts, or withdraws instead of speaking? In Hosea 5:14–15, God says He will tear and step back, not to destroy, but to heal. This message explores why God sometimes allows pain and silence. Discover how the God who wounds is also the God who heals, and how His withdrawal is not abandonment, but mercy that leads us back to His presence.
📖 Scripture: Hosea 5

Destroyed for Lack of Knowledge

🎙️Christian Lee (2025 September 14, Sunday, Storyline Church)
We are swimming in an ocean of information but thirsting for knowledge. Hosea 4 calls us back to the one thing that holds life together: the knowledge of God. This isn’t just head knowledge about God—it’s information and intimacy, law and loyalty, doctrine and devotion, head and heart. Truth lived out in love. But where Israel and humanity fails, there is One who is sent to justify many by his knowledge. And Scripture prophesies he will return one day to fill the whole earth with the knowledge of God as the waters cover the sea.
When the knowledge of God is lost, everything fractures. But when the knowledge of God is restored, everything flourishes.
📖 Scripture: Hosea 4; Isaiah 53:11, 6; Habakkuk 2:14; Jeremiah 31:34

Bought at a Price

🎙️Christian Lee (2025 September 7, Sunday, Storyline Church)
In one of the shortest chapters in the Bible, we see one of the clearest pictures of God’s love. Hosea buys back his unfaithful wife — and through this, we get a glimpse of the gospel: God’s love pursues us, redemption comes at a price, and he restores us to oneness with him.
📖 Scripture: Hosea 3:1–5

Every Valley Has a Door

🎙️Christian Lee (2025 August 31, Sunday, Storyline Church)
We all walk through valleys—seasons of failure, regret, or pain that feel like dead ends. But in Hosea 2, God makes a stunning promise: “I will make the Valley of Trouble a door of hope." Discover how God’s grace meets us in our lowest places and opens the way to restoration and new beginnings. Your valley isn’t a dead end—it’s a doorway to hope.
📖 Scripture: Hosea 2:2–23

The Promiscuous Bride

🎙️Christian Lee (2025 August 24, Sunday, Storyline Church)
What do you do when love keeps running into rejection? In Hosea 1, God calls a prophet into the most painful sermon illustration imaginable: a marriage to an adulteress woman that mirrors God’s relationship with His people. Through Hosea’s family story, we see the scandal of unfaithfulness, the weight of sin’s consequences, and the relentless mercy of God. The truest thing about you is not your past, not your failure, and not the labels others put on you. The truest thing about you is the name God gives you in Christ.
📖 Scripture: Hosea 1:1–2:1

Redeeming Time

🎙️Erin Lee (2025 August 17, Sunday, Storyline Church)
Are you chained to your past or consumed by your future? Or do you indulge in distractions? Time matters. But our relationship to time matters more. How we see time impacts the way we live our lives.
📍 Scripture: Ephesians 5:15-17

One Message, One Mission, One Charge

🎙️Joel Lee (2025 August 3, Sunday, Storyline Church)
What if success in the church isn’t about attendance, but obedience? In this challenging and empowering message, we revisit the early church in Acts to recover what really matters: making disciples and living on mission. Paul’s final words to the Ephesian elders give us a powerful charge—one message, one mission, one charge—that still calls us today to believe, obey, and be sent.
📍 Scripture: Acts 20:20-28

Fractured Image, Fractured Society

🎙️Christian Lee (2025 July 6, Sunday, Storyline Church)
We live in a world divided—by class, race, politics, and power. But what if the deeper fracture lies in how we see ourselves and each other?
In this message, we explore the biblical truth that every human being is made in the image of God (Imago Dei)—and how this truth can restore dignity in a world marked by division. Drawing from Genesis 1 and touching on themes from the film Parasite, we uncover how sin has distorted the image of God in all of us and how one man was sent to restore it. 
📍 Scripture: Genesis 1:26–2:3
