From Bad To Worse (Amos 8)

In this sermon we will be back in Amos. Chapter 8 will look at God's judgment on the Israelites for their selfish sins. There will be death, mourning, and destruction, but the worst part of God's judgment is that He will take away His Word (see vs. 11-12). We'll talk about why having access to God's Word is such a precious treasure that should not be taken for granted.

Where Mercy & Judgement Meet (Amos 7:1-9)

In this sermon we will discover how God can be full of both mercy and judgment in Amos 7:1-9. God does not give us everything that we deserve, because He is full of mercy. But, at the same time, He does not let sin go undealt with. Either Jesus paid for our sins or we will pay for them and experience the Lord's judgment.

Why Are You Smiling? (Amos 5:18-27)

In this sermon we'll turn to Amos 5:18-27. In this passage, Amos attempts to shake his audience out of their complacent attitude toward sin. The Israelites looked forward to the Lord's return. However, they did not realize that on that day, God would judge them for their false worship and lack of justice. As God's people today, we should look forward to the Lord's return, but we should also make sure that we are living in a way that honors Him.

What's The Problem? (Amos 2:6-16)

In this sermon we'll look at the specific sin issues that God wants to address with the Israelites (and with us) in Amos 2:6-16. We'll talk about things like greed, selfishness, immorality, and exploiting others. God threatens judgment for sins like this, but He also shows us abundant grace through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Look In The Mirror! (Amos 1-2)

In this sermon, we will be challenged by the truth that God really does care about and judges sin. Amos 1-2 tells us that God not only cares about the sin of unbelievers and other believers, but about our sin as well. Before we spend too much time condemning others, we should look in the mirror and see if our own hearts are right before God.
