Our Impartial God - Amos (select verses) - God Speaks: Minor Prophets

As we continue our sermon series this week in the Minor Prophets, we come to the book of the prophet Amos. And the key theme of Amos is the universal justice and impartiality of God. In other words, God plays no favorites, and the principle of reaping whatever we sow applies to all. Moreover, He is not moved by irrelevant external appearances, no matter how powerful or clever or wealthy or well-networked we are. All are judged by the same measure. This is the message of Amos, a sobering and convicting book that challenges our assumptions and stretches us, but that also contains a surprising message of hope for all of us that we desperately need to hear.
