Part 6: Seek God and Live
Amos is a hard book to read (and preach), but there is also grace in this message. In chapter 9, God promised to restore the people to the land someday. God sent Amos to Israel to persuade His people to repent, for their own good. He still wants repentance from His people today. If we listen and obey, we can experience revival.
The Sermon on the Mount is often acclaimed (even by non-Christians) as the greatest moral teaching ever presented. It dares us to dream of the world-changing things that could happen if we began to walk like Him.
If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
