'Amos (Amo) 6:1

Life is simply too short to keep the good news of Jesus to ourselves. Every day there is evidence of how much God loves you and every day there are people who need to hear how much he loves them too. Straight from God’s Word, this 7-day devotion series shared by The Lutheran Home Association’s chaplains, will help you live out God’s love wherever your day takes you.

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.

30-Day Introduction to the Major and Minor Prophets

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.
