Amos

AMOS An introduction

The words of Amos, who was among the shepherds of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.

Amos reminds us that God keeps track of horrible injustice in our world. How does that encourage us to trust in His justice, even when it seems delayed or absent?

“For three transgressions of __________, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment, because __________- consequences

How can we actively cultivate a heart that is sensitive to our own sins and is open to the conviction of the Holy Spirit?

Prep for next week !!

Read Amos 1:1– 2:5

Amos as a judge in a courtroom in Samaria reading the indictments against each nation, pronouncing God’s judgment, and his punishments that will result. In the gallery as Amos unloads on each of the six pagan nations and Judah, Israel, in full agreement, are shouting out AMEN!!!! Finally, God is dealing with His and our horrible enemies
