This sermon is all about the crucial importance of endurance in the marathon of faith. What we need most of all in life is not nicer home, a bigger salary, a healthier body, etc, but endurance; to persevere in following our Lord Jesus until the end. The consequences of falling away are unspeakably grim. But the glorious promise for those who have loved Him till the end, is absolutely sure, and closer every day... for yet a little while and "He who is coming will come, and not tarry".

The book of Hosea has a joyful message. The message is that of the compassion and love of God. Here we learn that God cannot give up on his people. Even though Israel practiced idolatry, and committed great whoredom against the Lord by forsaking him for false gods, he would not finally let them go. Here we see where sin abounds, grace super abounds. And we see that through a symbol in the book; the symbol of family.
Jairus trusted Christ to heal his daughter. When Jesus is interrupted en route to Jairus' home his faith is tested. However, because his faith was a well founded faith in Jesus who took the curse of sin and rose from the dead, his faith was rewarded and his daughter was restored to health.
