Summary
The sermon explores the depth of loyalty God desires from His people, drawing heavily from Hosea and the Book of Joel. The speaker emphasizes that God values genuine, persistent loyalty over mere outward sacrifices or temporary resolutions to return. True loyalty, according to the speaker, means crying out to God in times of potential separation or struggle, demonstrating a desire to remain close to Him before falling, which is rooted in believing in His keeping power.

Jeremy Utley - God's Word Creates the Desire to Do His Will

The speaker emphasizes that true devotion requires a humble acknowledgment of total dependence on God's prompting. Drawing from passages like Psalm 27 and the story of Peter walking on water, he argues that even when scripture commands us to seek God's face, our ability to do so hinges entirely on God speaking that word afresh to our hearts. The central message is that our obedience and desire to follow God are dependent upon His continuous, personal command.
