Is God’s Authority Bad? | Amos 8 and Waiting for the Day of the Lord

In this expository sermon on Amos 8, we explore the biblical theology behind "The Day of the Lord" and what it means to live under the sovereign authority of God. Far from being a tyrannical burden, God’s authority is designed for our ultimate good and spiritual life.By tracing redemptive history from the prophetic warnings of Amos to the darkness over Golgotha at the cross, we discover how Jesus Christ endured the ultimate Day of the Lord—bearing the full judgment for our sins so that believers might receive eternal grace, forgiveness, and life.In this video, you will learn:* How "The Day of the Lord" functions across both Old and New Testaments.* The connection between the darkness in Amos 8:9 and the darkness at Christ’s crucifixion (Luke 23:44–45).* Why a "famine of hearing the words of the LORD" (Amos 8:11) is one of God’s most severe judgments.* The biblical view of oaths, vows, and submitting to God’s law as a guide for Christian living (Psalm 119).* Whether you are looking to deepen your understanding of biblical hermeneutics, covenant theology, or expository preaching, this study offers a gospel-centered look at God’s Word.Here’s the video @ https://youtu.be/odzoC2Y4HbwSee other resources and teaching @ https://www.christchurchclayton.org/mediaWatch other sermons in the Amos series @https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm8Dt3kxWQ8RVzmg0XGuMthLDcMsO1d35#Amos8, #DayOfTheLord, #GodsAuthority, #GodsWord, #SecondComing #Hermeneutics #JesusChrist #Amos #ChristianLiving #AuthorityOfGod #ChristianLiving #WordOfGod #ChristianSermon #Amos #OldTestament #ReturnOfChrist #ChristianObedience #ChristianDiscipleship #BiblicalInterpretation #Oaths #Vows #JohnMusgrave #ChristChurchOfClaytonNC  #TheGospelForLiving #RTS #CovenantTheology #PCA #URC #OPC #RPCNA #ReformedTheology #redemptive-historical #BiblicalTheology #redemptivehistorical
