Prophets Foretold: Healer

Rev. James Harper preaches on Amos 9:11-15 as part of our Advent Sermon Series, "Prophets Foretold."    When everything in life seems to be falling apart, we desperately need hope. The prophet Amos spoke to a prosperous but spiritually broken Israel, promising that God would repair what was broken. Human solutions, even religious ones, cannot fix spiritual brokenness - just as dead people cannot resurrect themselves. God provided the solution through the incarnation, when Jesus took on flesh to rescue humanity. The perfect Son of God was broken on the cross so that broken people could be healed. While we await complete restoration in the new creation, Jesus offers healing for wounded hearts today, inviting us to bring our pain directly to Him rather than trying to self-medicate or fix ourselves.
