Amos 8 The season of long suffering is ending and the nation of Israel (the summer fruits) is ripe for judgement.  Point: Sometimes it is through the trials and judgements that our eyes are refocused solely upon God. May we not be a people in famine of God's Word.

Jesus. God Became Man.

Isaiah 53:1–11 & John 1:9–13 Jesus was rejected by men so we could be accepted by God. We can walk in the light of new life and become children of God.

Jesus. The Light. The Gift. The Savior.

John 1:1–5 Before the creation of the world, the Father’s good plan for rescuing his children was to send Jesus to earth. We can be victorious over our own darkness by receiving Jesus as the Word of God for ourselves. 

Jesus. The Word. The Life. The Light.

Amos 7

Psalm 100 & 1 Thessalonians 5 Going from an exhortation to give thanks to understanding why we give thanks, when we give thanks, and how to give thanks. 

From Gladness to Thankfulness

False Security

Amos 5 God desires our hearts fully committed to Him. If we are living and dwelling in sin, His plea for us is to "Seek Him and live!"

Seek the Lord and Live

Amos 3-4 God's judgment sought to awaken the hearts of Israel. God's desire is ultimately for our hearts and if we have wandered, He desires to bring us back to Himself.

Return to the Lord

Amos 1:1-12 Judgement upon Israel, Judah, and the surrounding nations.

The Pain of Bitterness

The Lord judges the nations; the day of the Lord is coming.

Joel 3

Joel 2:15-32 After God's plague of locust, followed by a famine, the spirit of His people has been awakened. Joel calls for a nationwide prayer along with fasting. God asks for a rent heart of His people, and when this is evident, we see that He not only relents, but follows up with a blessing and restoration.

Repenting, Relenting, & Restoration

Joel 1:13-2:14 A call to repent and the result of continual sin.

Rend Your Hearts

Joel 1-2:14 The book of Joel is the written prophetic word of God given to the prophet Joel directed towards the southern kingdom of Judah and its capital, Jerusalem. The message begins, as we will see this morning, with a coming plague of locusts. Little is known about the author other than the short description in 1:1—”Joel, the son of Pethuel.” The name Joel derives from two Hebrew words—the first is the abbreviated form of the covenantal name of God, Yahweh, with the common Hebrew word for God, ‘el and thus—Joel means, “Yahweh is God.”
