Pastor Matt Hodge (Discipleship Pastor) - ​​​Amos 7:10-17​ (Amos 1:2​; 3:8​; 7:10-17; 1 Peter 4:12-13​; Matthew 5:11-1​6​; 28:18-20​; 1 Peter 4:​14​; 2 Timothy 4:16-18​; 2 Corinthians 4:3-18​; 1 Corinthians 1:26-31​; Romans 1:14-16​)

 

Amos' unwavering commitment to God's calling in the face of deception, discouragement, and distractions provides a powerful example of faithfulness. Despite opposition from Amaziah, he remained steadfast, relying on God's divine calling and the authority of His Word. In this lesson, we will be challenged to embrace our calling with courage, stand firm in the truth, and trust that God equips and sustains those who faithfully proclaim His message.
