Empty Altars

Ever feel like your faith has become routine — like you are just going through the motions with God? Hosea 6:6 shows what God really wants. We can do all the right things — show up, serve, read, pray — and still hand God an empty altar. In the opening message of Deep Cuts, we look at the prophet Hosea and three realities that move us from performing for God to actually knowing him: he wants our heart over our habits, relationship over religion, and transformation over transaction.
