Amos 4:1-5

Written by the shepherd-prophet Amos, this book exposes Israel's sinful religious hypocrisy and corrupt leadership. Amos prophesies against their rejection of God's law and the terrible social injustice perpetrated against the poor and vulnerable. As Amos foretells judgment on many nations, including Israel, we are reminded of the ultimate need for restoration and the promise of greater redemption.

If "juggling," "multi-tasking", or "harried" are the words that describe your days, this plan might be just what you are looking for. The Bible records these words of Jesus, "My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life." (John 10:10NLT). By exploring the lives of some famous and some not-so-famous women of the Bible, you'll gain insight and tools to trade your "just-get-through-it life" for the "rich and satisfying life" Jesus promised.

Amos was a prophet on a mission to shake Israel out of their moral complacency. He prophesied during a time of great stability and prosperity when Israel had abandoned God and neglected the vulnerable in society. His no-holds-barred message is a warning and a plea to God’s people, urging them to turn back to the Lord. Matt Fuller will help you to apply the teaching of Amos to your own life.
