Episode 853
Pastor Brandon introduces the book of Amos as a prophetic call to align worship with ethics, challenging believers to reflect God's character through justice and compassion rather than compartmentalizing faith.
• Amos was a shepherd from Tekoa, not a professional prophet, making him an unlikely messenger
• He lived in the southern kingdom (Judah) but prophesied primarily to the northern kingdom (Israel)
• Written between 760-750 BC, shortly before the Assyrian invasion that would destroy Israel
• The prophet warns against spiritual complacency and defines justice as doing what God requires
• Israel was economically booming but morally corrupt, with growing class division and oppression
• Amos demonstrates that true love includes speaking truth with kindness when others are heading toward danger
• Three steps when facing sin: deal with your own sin first, check your motives, and pray for the Holy Spirit to open doors
