    Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Sep 21, 2002
    based on 34 ratings
     | 10,100 views

    Amos was a businessman, not a prophet -- but he saw things in his society that needed to be examined. "Judgment is coming," is the theme of his preaching.

    Amos 5:6-14 6 Seek the LORD and live, or he will sweep through the house of Joseph like a fire; it will devour, and Bethel will have no one to quench it. 7 You who turn justice into bitterness and cast righteousness to the ground 8 (he who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns blackness into dawn ...read more

    A look at how God’s views issues like fair trade and exploitation and what an appropriate Christian response is.

    Introduction We have been looking at what it means to please God. We saw that it must start from faith. We also looked at what it means to please God with our minds and then this morning we looked at what it means to please God when we have disagreements. This evening we look at passage which tells ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,983 views

    Israel was guilty of oppressing the poor and needy and perverting justice, despite ritually worshipping God in sacrifice and worship. Are our actions backed by an authentic heart? Are we displeasing God despite 'doing all the right things'?

    "Famous Amos" What can we learn from this shepherd and fig-tender - turned - prophet? Given at Glorious King Jesus (GKJ), March 13, 2011 Sterling C.

    In this funeral lament for Israel, God reminds them that He is on His throne and it is only in seeking Him that they will live.

    based on 37 ratings
     | 24,415 views

    We often look forward to eschatological events as wonderful pie-in-the-sky times. While the fulfillment of those events will result in unimaginable blessedness, we cannot forget they are initiated by judgment. Are we ready for how they will arrive?

    Be careful what you wish for. 1. Because it might not be what you expect. 2. Because you might not be as ready for it as you think. 3. Because your memory might not be as good as you think it is. 4. Because you might need to do everything you can in the present grace God gives you. AMOS ...read more

    God slams Israel for their actions, primarily trashing their treatment of the poor. What do we learn about how to respond in our own lives?

    A PERPETUAL TRUTH: The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. - Amos 5: 7, 10, 11, 12. - It’s a cliché for a reason.

    The Day Of The Lord, Already, Not Yet.

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 10, 2024
     | 560 views

    The day of the Lord is also the day of Christ’s coming. It refers to his first coming and his second coming. There is an already and not yet aspect to the day of the Lord. Christ has come. The return of Christ and final judgement has not yet come.

    When Joel wrote about the day of the Lord it was understood that this was some dreadful event coming like the invasion of a foreign army or a natural calamity like locusts destroying the crops and causing a famine. There was also a hopeful expectation to the day of the Lord that in the end it ...read more

    Jesus's challenge to the rich young man - Does it leave us discombobulated and feeling uncomfortable? Which of the many interpretations is correct? [This sermon was preached 13 October 2024 when I was the guest preacher at St Nicholas Church Perivale in West London]

    A very wealthy man came to his vicar and said, “Father, I’m having a problem with this tithing thing. You see I made £500,000 dollars last year. If I gave 10% then I’d have to give….” No - before I finish that anecdote - lets do a poll- would you rather be very rich or very poor - hands up ...read more
