Amos 01: Let Justice Roll

Pastor Brandon introduces the book of Amos as a prophetic call to align worship with ethics, challenging believers to reflect God's character through justice and compassion rather than compartmentalizing faith.• Amos was a shepherd from Tekoa, not a professional prophet, making him an unlikely messenger• He lived in the southern kingdom (Judah) but prophesied primarily to the northern kingdom (Israel)• Written between 760-750 BC, shortly before the Assyrian invasion that would destroy Israel• The prophet warns against spiritual complacency and defines justice as doing what God requires• Israel was economically booming but morally corrupt, with growing class division and oppression• Amos demonstrates that true love includes speaking truth with kindness when others are heading toward danger• Three steps when facing sin: deal with your own sin first, check your motives, and pray for the Holy Spirit to open doorsJoin our Bible Breakdown discussion on Facebook where our team shares daily devotions.
