Fearsome Roar
Amos
Amos starts with a roar
We begin our series from the Book of Amos by looking at the circumstances behind and the nature of this powerful prophecy.
Discovery Questions
Self-reflection:
Read Amos 1:1-2, or through 2:3. What might Jesus roar about in our society? In the American church? In my life?
With your family:
This whole series will be a challenge to work through with your kids. Explain how Israel persistently disobeyed God and how they must have felt when they read this part of Amos.
With your small group:
- Read Amos 1:1-2, or through 2:3.
- What stands out to you in these verses? Why?
- What bothers you about these verses? Why?
- Discuss the self-reflection question above.
- How should we respond to Jesus who will judge and condemn the lost to a horrible eternity? What about this causes you difficulty?
- Given this passage, what should you do this week?
