Unconditional: A Study of God’s Never-Ending Love for Us Through the Book of Hosea

A six-week study beginning April 28 in the freeFirst 5 app.

Have you ever felt like you’ve messed up too much for God to love you? Like you’ve wandered too far for Him to call you back?

The book of Hosea tells a different story — a story of a God whose love never gives up. Because no matter what we feel, think or do … nothing can stop His relentless pursuit of us.

Through Hosea’s prophetic words and powerful imagery, we see a God who remains faithful even when His people are unfaithful. A God who disciplines — not to condemn but to restore. A God who leads us into the wilderness — not to abandon us but to bring us back to Him. His love isn’t conditional — it’s unconditional.

Here’s what our First 5 friends are saying…

“I’ve never really studied the Bible until I started using this app. It has helped me discipline myself to take the time to do it. I actually look forward to my study time!”

— Cyndi S.

“A friend from church told me about the First 5 app and how she uses it to study the Bible. That was over six years ago when I retired, and I rarely miss a day. I love to start my day with God’s Word. Even though I’ve read through the Bible many times, I still learn more every time I read it.”

— Leslie B.

“I am a mom with three kids who are 3 and under. This app has been so great for a quick but deep study each day. I love that there is a question each day to prompt my sleep-deprived brain toward some application and a deeper thought.”

— Maddison R.
