Wait Till Your Father Gets Home

Amos is a book of judgment and doom but also a book of opportunity.  Today Pastor Jerry begins a new series called “Let Justice Roll” which will explore how critical and timely Amos’ message is for us today. 

 

Amos 1:1 & 2 (NLT)

1 This message was given to Amos, a shepherd from the town of Tekoa in Judah. He received this message in visions two years before the earthquake, when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam II, the son of Jehoash, was king of Israel.

2 This is what he saw and heard:

“The Lord’s voice will roar from Zion
    and thunder from Jerusalem!
The lush pastures of the shepherds will dry up;
    the grass on Mount Carmel will wither and die.”

 

Amos 7:14 & 15 (NLT)

14 But Amos replied, “I’m not a professional prophet, and I was never trained to be one. I’m just a shepherd, and I take care of sycamore-fig trees. 15 But the Lord called me away from my flock and told me, ‘Go and prophesy to my people in Israel.’

 

Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)

10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

 

 

 

 

Amos 7:3a (NLT)

3 So the Lord relented from this plan.

 

Revelation 19:11 (NLT)

11 Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there. Its rider was named Faithful and True, for he judges fairly and wages a righteous war.

 

 

1 John 1:9 (NLT)

9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.

 

Acts 3:19 (NLT)

19 Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away.
