Amos - part 8
AMOS - Chapter 4 Part 2
Amos 4:6-13
Declarations from the LORD through the prophet Amos
These declarations are about God being true to His word.
Leviticus 26 — the blessings for obedience and the punishments or judgments for disobedience.
In that list of judgments, you will find:
* Famine
* Drought
* Pestilence/plagues
* Wars
* Military defeat
* Cities destroyed
GOD’S JUDGMENTS ARE FOR THE PURPOSE OF RESTORATION
“… yet you did not return to me,” declares the Lord.”
Thoughts for this week - Judgment? Discipline? Or, Both?
What circumstances (some perhaps being judgments or discipline from the Lord) has God brought into your life to get your attention?
“When bad things happen to good people “
How do people react when “bad things” happen to them?
How do you react when “bad things” happen to you?
And that’s what I want to leave with us this morning:
* THE GREATNESS OF OUR GOD
* HIS SOVEREIGNTY
* HIS REVELATION
* HIS LOVE AND CARE
* HIS DESIRE FOR RELATIONSHIP (EVEN WHEN THAT RELATIONSHIP REQUIRES JUDGMENT OR DISCIPLINE)
