Amos went from being a shepherd of sheep in Tekoa to a shepherd of the covenant community of God. This was a prophet who is very much needed in our own day and age. He was calling God's people from their sin to righteousness. He was calling God's people from their ritualistic worship to genuine worship from the heart. Call your people to offer acceptable worship to God through Jesus Christ with a rich and abounding heart of love for God!
