Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThis is second to last week in Amos as we look at one of the crescendos of the book. In this section there is a "showdown" between Amos, the prophet of God, and Amaziah, the priest of Bethel. Amaziah rejects Amos' message and, without realizing it, in rejecting this message is also rejecting God! Although we'd like to think of ourselves as Amos in this story, we too can take everything that we've studied in this series and completely reject it, either actively or passively. How do we allow the Words of God to truly change us, and what might God be calling us to do, as we conclude the series, to respond to His Words to us?…

In our political-heightened society we can often run head-long into politics (and often run straight into idolatry in the process!), or run away from it as fast as possible. What if there was a third approach? Studying Amos 8 gives us insight into how we can be careful with politics, yet also use it as a way to care for and to love our neighbor. Scripture gives us a way in which we can be extremely unified (even in the midst of our political diversity!) while not settling for apathy. Join us as we find this Kingdom-balance together!…

Scripture seems to have conflicting messages about poverty, money, wealth, riches, etc. There are some things that are clear (we should treat those in poverty with dignity, love, sacrifice, and respect), others... not so much (is it bad to be rich?). Seeing how all of these messages in Scripture work together is actually key to our understanding of how we as Christians should deal with this issue of poverty, and how God expects us to help bring the Kingdom to it.

Often when we think about justice we think about all of the ill of the world and feel overwhelmed. This is actually a good thing. Lamentation, which we’ll discuss briefly, can be a really good way to respond to all of the ills of life. However, we can also do more than just lament. We can respond with righteousness in smaller areas, being faithful where God has called us (e.g., focus on an area). Though subtle, it is clear that Amos is both pleading to God for mercy, and also doing his part (for him preaching) in helping create justice for others. We each have a part to play too. And if our heart, like God’s, bends towards mercy, we can really bless and serve others and push back darkness in the world.…
