Taking the Sermon Into Our Week 

Scripture of the Week: Amos 1:1-2; 5:14-15, 21-24

From the Sermon:

The problem in the time of Amos is that the people are trying to tell God what is good instead of allowing God to lead them to _____________________________.

Amos is known as a __________________.

Even in a time when everything seemed good - it was only good by _____________________, not God’s.

The people of God had started to slip. They had started to think that since everything looked good, well ________ must be good.

When we think that things are good because we are good, this is a sneaky form of ________.

The people were trying to use their act of worship to _____________ God.

Another translation of the heart of Amos’s preaching In the book of the prophet Amos (5:24),says “a flood of ___________ and an endless river of _______________.”

Reflection Questions:

What comes to mind when you hear the word “justice”?

How do Amos’s words resonate with you today in 2021?

Prayer:

Lord, give me your eyes to see justice. And may I live to seek your idea of justice here on earth. Amen.
