AMOS:  A WAKE-UP CALL FROM GOD

​

In 2025, Pastor Jensen will resume the Amos message series at the 8:00 and 10:30 AM Worship Services.  The book of Amos is relevant to our world today.  It offers prophetic warnings against the practices of idolatry, greed and oppression.  Amos addresses God’s enemies, but he really zeroes in on speaking to God’s people, Israel.  In our world today, God’s enemies and His people, especially His people, need to “wake up” and repent of the wickedness that God abhors and embrace justice and righteousness which are the foundation of His throne.  This is the essence of Amos’s wake-up call from God.  Below is an outline of the remaining the general and specific themes in the book of Amos that we will continue to cover along with message titles and Scripture references.
