The Lion Roars: Introduction (Chris Throness)

Looking around the world, it is easy to see how unjust and unfair things are. Wars, poverty, inequity, and suffering fill our screens and dominate public discourse. What is the place of the church in the middle of these sad realities?  This spring KAC will hear the lion roar (Amos 3:8) as we make our way through the Old Testament prophet Amos. For eight weeks, we will journey through Amos, listening to his plea for God's people to return to a life of justice. Amos is full of courage and clarity as he instructs a wayward people to realize their position and power, and to turn it towards those who do need it most. This series will clarify how a biblical view of justice is unique to other perspectives offered, and act as a catalyst for thoughtful reflection and redemptive action for you and KAC as we seek the whole restoration of God's good world.
