Live Service for March. 13th, 2024

Pastor Dr. Charles W. Ferguson

Mitchell Harper

 

Amos 5:18-24

Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD!

Why would you have the day of the LORD?

It is darkness, and not light,

as if a man fled from a lion,

and a bear met him,

or went into the house and leaned his hand against the wall,

and a serpent bit him.

Is not the day of the LORD darkness, and not light,

and gloom with no brightness in it?

“I hate, I despise your feasts,

and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.

Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings,

I will not accept them;

and the peace offerings of your fattened animals,

I will not look upon them.

Take away from me the noise of your songs;

to the melody of your harps I will not listen.

But let justice roll down like waters,

and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.

 

Proposition

Repetition has become more valuable to our witness than execution of our faith. Empty activity reflects a lack of desire to execute the revolutionary commitment of God’s love, grace, and mercy to all.

 

Relevant Question

Why then is it revolutionary to function in the world from a Godly Kingdom perspective?

 

Synthesis

1. Repetition Creates Callousness Toward Relationship

2. Repetition Promotes Satisfaction with the Minimum

3. Kingdom Mindfulness Pushes Us Toward Active Living of Our Faith and Commitment
