    Ignoring God

    based on 54 ratings
     | 12,331 views

    A warning about the consequences of taking God’s blessings for granted

    Amos 8:8-14 Nostalgia is not what it used to be; I really miss good old-fashioned nostalgia. Is anyone else here nostalgic? Who misses ‘the good old days’? It’s funny, isn’t it, how things from our pasts, often have such an appeal. A much greater appeal than they did when they were still current. ...read more

    The same fruits evident in Amos’ basket are still around in our churches today. Are we keeping them fresh by obeying God’s pattern for them? Or are we allowing them to become overripe and rotten by our disobedience?

    1. Introduction (8:1-2) 2. The first fruit in God’s basket of obedience is the fruit of worship. (movement from songs to howling to silence)—Amos 8:3 3. The second fruit in God’s basket of obedience is the fruit of stewardship. (movement from commerce to consumerism to condemnation)—Amos ...read more

    People says to me, "Dave, as a Christian I am not interested in politics", and I can say to them in all honesty, "neither am I". ...

    I sorta promised someone in the parish that I’d choose a more cheery passage next time I preached. “Come unto me all ye who labour and are heavy laden” was suggested - a message of encouragement and hope. This is not that sermon. Inspired by our set lectionary readings, for better or worse, I have ...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

    Spiritual Famine

    based on 2 ratings
     | 19,631 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

    Contraception enabled many to adopt sinful lifestyles without fear of pregnancy, and the other results were predictable and damaging.

    July 6, 2018 Feast of St. Maria Goretti Our God is a God of mercy and compassion, but He is also the God of justice and equity. Defenseless people are His particular specialty. Crimes against those who cannot defend themselves, who have no physical or political power, are very offensive to the ...read more

    we are reminded that we must have a social conscience

    May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable to you, my Lord and my Redeemer. We are taught in Deacons School that we are to always preach on the Gospel reading for a given Sunday, since one of those things exclusively reserved for Deacons is the proclaiming of the ...read more

    Would God Ever Take Away His Word? Series

     | 2,854 views

    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

    A Basket Of Ripe Summer Fruit

     | 5,951 views

    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

    Do those things well and the government will be respected. Do them badly and the people get angry and one way or another dismantle that government.

    Friday of the Fourteenth Week in Course 2024 There are several basic and critical functions of any government, once a region of the world has established one. Israel–the northern Kingdom after the breakup of David’s kingdom after the terrible mess Solomon left–was such an area. A successful ...read more

    Harvest Time

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 3, 2023
     | 1,857 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

     | 1,319 views

    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
