Please visit The Bible Project for a short video overview on the book of Amos
Amos 1:3-2:5 – The Problem of Guilt
The circle of judgment – God speaks to the neighbours
What’s happening in Amos 1 and 2?
– Starting with the words that Israel wants to hear
– Who are these people? Getting to know Israel’s neighbourhood, starting with 6 ‘Gentile’ (not Jewish) nations
– Finally, Judah (who really should have known better)
– Israel: a light that failed to shine.
What do we make of this?
– What we do now matters.
– We have a God who speaks to the world.
– We are each called to fully respond to the gospel.
– And so is everyone that we know.
