Are You Approved Or Hungry

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jun 5, 2019

Everyone wants a word from God, but they do not know the Word of God.

Amos 8:11  Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:  12  And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro ...read more

A Basket Of Ripe Summer Fruit

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 7, 2019

Seek God, do justice - before it is too late.

A BASKET OF RIPE SUMMER FRUIT. Amos 8:1-12. This vision and its interpretation is based in a pun: the Hebrew word for “Summer fruit” sounds almost identical with the word translated “the end” (Amos 8:1-2). Read Amos 4:6-11 for a litany of the temporal judgments which the LORD laid upon ...read more

A sermon about loving and serving God and neighbor.

“Who Is Your Master?” Amos 8:1-12 A basket of ripe fruit…it’s delicious, but it doesn’t last long. This week, the strawberries we just bought grew layers of fuzz before we could finish them.

Not Scattering, But Bringing Together

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 16, 2022

Looking at the story of the wasteful servant with a global perspective helps us to understand the kind of community Jesus wants to build in our lives.

Twenty Fifth Sunday in Course 2022 When Our Lord told parables to his followers, He was saying to them, “gather around me and listen. I have a story that might help you understand God’s kingdom.” So in many cases, we ought not spend too much time trying to analyze the characters, asking which ...read more

A Study Of "The Day Of The Lord” In The Scriptures – All References Part 5 – Amos, Obadiah Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 26, 2022

For those in the Tribulation (who were not raptured) they will find no escape from the wrath of the Lord. Now is the time to be saved. The destruction that was coming of Edom is that same destruction that is coming on nations in the Tribulation. More descriptions - light and darkness.

A STUDY OF “THE DAY OF THE LORD” IN THE SCRIPTURES – ALL REFERENCES PART 5 – AMOS, OBADIAH The DAY OF THE LORD is “The Day of Jehovah” and its usage is always associated with something dire, with judgement, and with events outside the implementation of man. In other words, it is the intervention ...read more

The LORD cares for the poor. So should we.

AN INDICTMENT AGAINST THE UNSCRUPULOUS. Amos 8:4-7. You trample upon the needy and make the poor of the land fail (Amos 8:4; cf. Amos 5:11).

In The Palm Of Your Hand Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Feb 6, 2022

When you hold the Bible in your hand, you’re not just holding a book. When you open it and read it, you’re not just reading words. You’re not just taking in information. You are taking in life … still warm from the breath of God.

I want to start out with two true stories this morning and I want to ask you what you notice is common to both stories and what is missing. Ready? Aurelius Augustinus was born on November 13, 354 a.d. in Tagaste, Numbia … or what is known today as Algeria. We know Aurelius Augustinus today as ...read more

While God May Be Found (July 17, 2022)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jul 15, 2022

Who would argue against the understanding that we live in a day when many take God for granted? One thing that eighth chapter of Amos makes clear is that moving away from God invites destruction. The opening image of ripe fruit cuts to the chase as a metaphor for God’s judgement.

WHILE GOD MAY BE FOUND Texts: Isaiah 55:6, Amos 8:1- 2, 8:11- 12 Isaiah 55:6 Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Hime while He is near Amo 8:1 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit. 2 And he said, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A basket of ...read more

Would God Ever Take Away His Word? Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 24, 2020

What would it mean if God withdrew the knowledge of His Word?

- Unpack vv. 11-12 and the threat to take away the word of the Lord. - We don’t really know what to do with that. Let’s try to figure it out. WHAT MIGHT THAT LOOK LIKE? 1. Rejecting God’s truth, people do what they want. 2. Things start falling apart. 3. The consequences of their sin make ...read more

Trying To Escape God’s Judgment Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 26, 2020

We don't like to think about the Day of Judgment. And when we do, we like to impose our own thoughts on how it will go. What does this passage tell us about our ability to get away from God's judgment?

- There are additional things going on in this passage, but I want to focus on the overarching idea: trying to escape the judgment of God. UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTHS: 1. GOD IS THE JUDGE. - Genesis 18:25. - God plays many roles – Creator, Sustainer, Father. He also plays the role of Judge. 2. HE ...read more

The Fall And Rise Of Humanity

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jan 17, 2021

Today's message looks at "The Fall of Humanity." But it moves beyond to look at humanity's rise once again. It also looks at the process of temptation, including questioning and denying God's word, and how that leads to misinterpreting God's motives in giving His word.

The Fall and Rise of Humanity Genesis 3:1-11 ** Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_D8NkKbwGI At the end of last year, the Lord laid on my heart the word, “remnant” and the “remnant church,” and began to show me what the remnant church was going to look like. It was that message that I ...read more
