Humanity is rebellion against God and His authority. We do not want to answer to God or submit to Him, but the truth is that we are accountable to God!

As we study this part of the book of Amos, we will be reminded that God is the Judge that all people everywhere must answer to! We will also be challenged to embrace our calling as God’s people, commit to a life of faithfulness to God, and to be on guard against our natural tendency toward  apathy, indifference, and hypocrisy! 

We are accountable to God, and that has profound implications for the way we should live our lives and interact with others! We need to get ready to meet our God! 

 

Series description:

In this 5-part Bible study, we will explore the powerful themes of justice and mercy in the book of Amos.

As we study, we’ll see how God’s justice and mercy work in tandem to fulfill His purposes in the world. We’ll also challenge ourselves to live righteously, advocate for justice, and extend mercy to those around us. Together, we’ll discover that when God’s people live in this way, we actively participate in His great plan of redemption and restoration. Join us as we dive into the call to reflect God’s heart for justice and mercy in our lives today!
