10 Woe to the Complacent in Zion – Amos 6
PM 12 April 2026 Every age produces its own form of complacency. For Israel in Amos’s day, it was the self-satisfaction of success. The economy was booming. Borders were secure. The palaces of Samaria gleamed with ivory and gold. People reclined on couches, sang idle songs, and congratulated themselves that God must surely be pleased with such prosperity. They mistook comfort for blessing, affluence for approval, and peace for piety. But the prophet Amos saw beneath the glitter. He saw…

PM 08 March 2026 Text: Amos 3:1–15Title: Can Two Walk Together?Setting: Evening Worship Service, 08 March 2026 Introduction One of the simplest, most ordinary pictures in life is that of two people walking together.

Which path will we take? Without agreement, you soon find yourselves…

PM Sermon, 01 March 2026 04 The Sins of Israel Unmasked Amos 2:6-16 Introduction Congregation, we are entering into one of the most searching passages in all of the prophets.

God raised him up to proclaim His Word in the days of Jeroboam II, when Israel was outwardly strong, prosperous, and self-confident. The northern kingdom was expanding its borders, trade was flourishing,…

PM 01 Feb 2026 Introduction – The Roar from Zion Text: Amos 1:3–2:3 Open your Bibles with me to Amos 1, beginning at verse 3. “The LORD roars from Zion,and utters his voice from Jerusalem;the pastures of the shepherds mourn,and the top of Carmel withers.” (Amos 1:2, ESV) A lion’s roar is unforgettable. Even behind the safety of a zoo barrier, it makes your chest tremble. It commands attention. That is the image God uses here in Amos — a…

PM 18 January 2026 01 The Lion Has Roared Amos 1’1-2 Introduction: The Voice of a Lion Imagine the silence of the Judean wilderness at dusk. The shepherd keeps watch over his flock in the cooling air when, in the distance, comes the deep, rolling roar of a lion. Every ear perks up. Every creature freezes. The roar announces the presence of danger and the certainty of action. The lion does not roar for no reason. The book of Amos…
