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…

05 Can Two Walk Together? – Amos 3:1–15
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. Perhaps you’ve gone for a walk with a friend or spouse. You don’t just suddenly appear on the same road—first there has to be an agreement: Where are we going? What pace will we keep? Which path will we take? Without agreement, you soon find yourselves…

02 The Roar from Zion – Amos 1:3-2:3

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…

AM 01 February 2026 11 Adoption through the Son Galatians 4’1–7 Introduction – From Bondage to Belovedness Every person longs to belong, to be known, loved, and accepted. We often seek that security in family, work, the approval of others, or even in our religious performance. But apart from Christ, all such striving leaves us living like servants rather than sons, trying to earn what can only be given by grace. The Apostle Paul writes to the Galatians because they…
10 Sons of God Through Faith – Galatians 3:23-29
25 January 2026 (We had cancelled services due to an ice storm; this is pulled from a “ZoomCast” of the service). Brothers and sisters in Christ, when Paul writes to the Galatians, he is speaking to people who were being tempted to go backward—to leave the freedom of the gospel and to return to the slavery of the Law. False teachers had crept in, insisting that faith in Christ was not enough. To be truly a child of God, they…

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…
