    God’s Goal In Bringing Hardship Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on May 20, 2020
     | 3,590 views

    It's shocking to many that God sometimes is the cause of hardship in our lives. When that happens, what is He hoping to accomplish?

    “HE SAID WHAT?!”: Sometimes hardship is from God. - Amos 4:6-12. - This passage might have been shocking to you. “What do you mean God did all these things?” Today we sometimes think of Him exclusively as a kindly grandfather who would never say a cross word to anyone. That, however, is not ...read more

    Who Cares About The Poor? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on May 27, 2020
     | 3,551 views

    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. It’s the way of the world. - The poor typically get trampled. - Let’s look briefly at the specific accusations levied by God against Israel. a. v. 7 – “You who turn ...read more

    The Problem With Wanting Jesus To Come Back Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on May 29, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,380 views

    Israel cried out for the day of the Lord to come, but God warned them that they didn't really want that. Today many Christians say, "I just wish Jesus would come back!" but is that something we're actually ready for?

    WHEN THE WORLD DEPRESSES US WITH ITS EVIL: “I just wish Jesus would come back!” - Amos 5:18-20. - The point of v. 19 is things going from bad to worse. - There are two illustrations. - In the first, a man runs from a lion. But then, exhausted, he runs right into a bear. - In the second, a man ...read more

    The Problem With Prosperity Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 3, 2020
     | 4,417 views

    The leaders of Israel were enjoying their prosperity. What does God have to say to them?

    BLINDING: Money is not evil, but it is dangerous. - 1 Timothy 6:10. - The dangers of money are not a new problem. Here we are way back in the Old Testament and we see the same thing (although back then it was probably a lot smaller percentage of the population). - It’s a telling passage and it ...read more

    The Good News And The Bad News About God Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 9, 2020
     | 2,779 views

    We all like to make our own estimations of what we think God is like. This passage is a reminder to us that we must accept God for who He is, not who we wish He was.

    - Opening image: the result explosion of Facebook avatars. They are cute and fun and I don’t have a problem with them. But if I may make a gentle observation: some of you don’t look like you think you look! - I’m sure some people intentionally upgraded their appearance, but there are others who ...read more

    When We Ask God To Go Away Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 16, 2020
     | 2,789 views

    There are times when we instantly reject the message of God because it offends us and hurts us. We don't even want to consider it's true. But what happens when we ask God to go away?

    - Image: a broken mirror with most of the pieces missing. - Maybe do the image as a drawing on a piece of butcher paper, with four of the ten pieces colored in blue to look like a mirror. - Discuss how little of yourself you would know if you had such a limited mirror. We look at ourselves and ...read more

    Would God Ever Take Away His Word? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 24, 2020
     | 3,066 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

    Trying To Escape God’s Judgment Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 26, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,882 views

    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

    Is It Naïve To Be Hopeful Amid All The Despair? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jul 7, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,237 views

    The book of Amos contains some challenging and painful truths. Now, as the book ends, there is a word of hope. It speaks to us in our worry: is it naive for us to be hopeful amid all this world's despair?

    - Set up a collapsed tent on state where the pulpit normally is. This is the image for the sermon. LIVING IN FRAUGHT TIME: Right now there is much to worry over. - Amos 9:11 – “David’s fallen tent.” - Think of all the references in the Old Testament to the “house of David.” With that in ...read more

     | 1,541 views

    Where is your walk with Christ? Do people see Christ in you?

    This is the story of Amos. He was a common man, sheepherder, a layman; dedicated to serving God and his actions spoke for him. God told Amos to warn the Israelites of judgment coming because of their disobedience, complacency, idol worship, they oppressed the poor, they were hypocritical, and they ...read more

    For the fourth time, Israel repeats their sin cycle. Why can't they just stay saved?

    [Open with video of opening scene from "The Incredibles," where Mr Incredible says, "No matter how many times you save the world, it always ends up in jeopardy again] How many of you have ever felt like Mr. Incredible from that video? “No matter how many times you save the world, it ...read more

    What is our standard of holiness? As individuals, do we compare ourselves with others? As a church, do we compare our ministry with the congregation down the road? These are mistaken comparisons, as Jesus is our true standard.

    Michael Green, in his book Illustrations for Biblical Preaching, shares a good lesson which I think is appropriate for beginning our message this evening. He states, All of us frequently compare ourselves favorably with someone else. We all think of someone whom we consider to be less mature, ...read more

    Most Americans enjoy watching a good cowboy movie. One reason we like them is because even the most simple minded person can understand them.

    Illus: Two cowboy friends, Joe and Bob, each bought a horse one summer. They enjoyed riding around and doing the things that cowboys do. When winter came, however, they did not want to pay to have their horses stabled for the winter. Instead, they decided to release them in a pasture and get ...read more

    What Does the Bible Say About Justice

    What Does the Bible Say About Justice Proverbs 21:15 When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers. Amos 5:24 But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. Romans 12:19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to ...read more

    Your Overlooked Sin

     | 3,150 views

    Israel was caught unaware, as they were cheering the judgement of the nations around them. Amos points his finger to the covenant people Israel. He charges them of their own overlooked sins deserving judgement.

    It shocks everyone. These crimes are so heinous: • Russian soldiers’ murder, torture, looting, rape against Ukrainian women, threats of violence, and inhumane treatment of POWs. • In Myanmar a massive wave of violence broke out in Rakhine State, forcing more than 700,000 people - half of them ...read more
