Amos 1:1-2 – The Message
The Lord roars from Zion …
Verse 1: Meeting the cast: Uzziah, Jeroboam II and Amos
History matters because these are real people and our real God
Reading the Old Testament
From Genesis to 2 Kings, a story of people who reject God, and a God who chases them
Verse 2: The message of Amos
The Lord thunders … when we should be nervous about hearing God’s voice
(Exodus 19:10-11, 16-18; 20:18-19)
Amos for Christians
Do we really want to hear from God?
If we do, what are we hoping to hear?
When we hear, are we willing to listen?
