Justice & Mercy: A Study in the Book of Amos --- ”I Will Build!” - Resting in the Hope of Restoration (Lesson 5)

Pastor Matt Hodge (Discipleship Pastor) - ​​​​Amos 9:8-15 (Amos 5:10-15; 9:8-15; Jeremiah 23:5-6; Romans 5:7-11; Titus 3:3-7; Matthew 3:7-12; Acts 15:1-19; Revelation 21:1-7; 22:1-5; 1 Corinthians 13:12; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; John 14:1-3; 1 Peter 1:3-14; Titus 2:11-15)

 

In this lesson, we explore God's promise of redemption and restoration, fulfilled in part through Jesus' death on the cross, and ultimately realized in His return. Through this passage, we see how God’s justice and mercy work together, offering hope not only for Israel, but for all who trust in Him. In light of this hope, we are called to live with faithfulness, urgency, and perseverance—pursuing justice, sharing the Gospel, and living as people who reflect God's kingdom until He comes again.
