Amos springs a trap on Judah and Israel, drawing them into condemning the sins of the surrounding nations before turning the same judgment upon them. God’s people are never exempt from His call to holiness; His grace does not lower His standard but gives us what we need to pursue it.
Series: The Roar of Justice Speaker: Sean Scribner Scripture: Amos 2:4 – 3:2
God’s moral law is woven into creation and written upon the human heart, making every person accountable to Him—even those without His special revelation. Amos reveals both the severity of God’s righteous judgment and the patience of the holy God who waits, seeks, and calls sinners to turn to Him.
God called Amos, an ordinary shepherd, to be a prophetic voice to Israel, reminding us that God delights to use ordinary people for extraordinary purposes. Today, God calls every Christian to bear faithful witness to Christ in the ordinary places where He has placed us. The question is not whether God can use us, but whether we are willing to make ourselves available to Him.
When the lion roars, you listen. Amos confronts a people who had lost reverence for the Holy One who both saves and judges. The call then and now is to turn and be saved before the final Day.
Hebrews 11 – Faith. In our relationship with the Lord, He gives us gifts to empower us to do what He calls us to. Our faith is in our trustworthy God. Our faith is in the Lord who will take care of us. He wants us to join Him in the hope and joy that follows.
