    The Nourishment You Need

    Contributed by Mark Adams on Aug 13, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,011 views

    This is a sermon that focuses primarily on Amos 8, looking at how a deficiency of the Word of God plays out in our lives individually and as a culture.

    Amos has always seemed to me like a man I could enjoy being around. He was plain spoken, and to the point. He was the kind of guy who appreciated hard work. Amos was a shepherd. He didn’t shepherd those pretty, fluffy white sheep. Based on the word used, he worked with a really ugly, ...read more

    The ONE THING we need is to feast on the Word of God

    Feast or Famine? Amos 8:1-12 Luke 10:38-42 Colossians 1:15-28 As is my usual preaching or teaching style… I want us to take a look at each of the passages from our readings today in Amos, Colossians and Luke to see the complete teaching. So here we go, let’s dig in! In ...read more

    Hope Instead Of Despair

    Contributed by Davon Huss on Oct 15, 2012
     | 6,135 views

    A sermon on Amos 8:11-14 on how people run to things of this world instead of to the Bible to find meaning to their lives (Outline and material adapted from the book Existentialism: The Philosophy of Despair and the Quest for Hope, from chapter 3, The De

What would happen if a “miracle” had occurred where the hand that had written the Word had sponged out of our Bibles every syllable they contained, and thus reclaimed the most precious gift that Heaven had bestowed to mankind. Without the Word we would lapse into despair. ...read more

    Spiritual Famine

     | 20,769 views

    When we neglect God and His word, when we turn to God-substitutes, the result is spiritual dryness. When we want God to leave us alone, He just might. Amos tells what it will be like to live without a prophetic voice.

    “Spiritual Famine” Amos 8:9-14 Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts (23 Aug 2015) In 1968, the USS Pueblo, a Navy intelligence ship, was captured by North Korea, a week before the start of the “Tet Offensive” in Vietnam. The ...read more

    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. Our bananas spotted up, becoming overripe much sooner than we expected. Peaches deteriorate fast, ...read more

    Would God Ever Take Away His Word? Series

    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

    Harvest Time

     | 2,605 views

    What are you sowing? What will your harvest be, on the Day of the Lord?

    One of the things I loved about living in South Jersey, where I served my first church, was the fresh peaches. I love peaches even more than I love sweet corn. So as soon as they started appearing, I started buying. And every time I went into the local farmer’s market (Puglia’s) I would just wander ...read more

    While God May Be Found (July 17, 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jul 15, 2022
     | 2,353 views

    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

    The 4 Horsemen are given as a warning to Christians to take the Gospel of Jesus seriously.

    March 16, 2024 After having the privilege of watching the coronation of Christ in heaven, John was now prepared to witness the great spiritual conflict on earth between those who love God and those who do not. That brings us to Revelation chapter 6. After Christ assumed his place on the throne, ...read more
