God used Amos to warn Israel of the error of their ways. They had become wealthy and prosperous but instead of setting the right example for the nations around them so that they, in turn, might learn about God’s way, Israel had became corrupt and idolatrous, mixing truth with error. This book could just as well have been written to the end-time churches of Philadelphia and Laodicea.
Sermons
The Sacrifice of Christ
Jesus Christ, as a human being, was sinless. He died so that OUR sins would be forgiven and so that we would be reconciled to God. Why was this necessary? What does His sacrifice mean to you? This message will deepen your understanding and your appreciation of the mercy God extends to us through the sacrifice of His Son.
What Are You Worth?
What value can be placed on human life? How can you determine what your life is worth? Your true worth can only be measured by God’s value system–the way of give–not by Satan’s system–the way of get. Examine yourself against the example of Christ to see how you can add value to your performance in this life.
The Book of Jonah
Do we, like Jonah, profess to fear God, then turn and run away from our responsibility to Him and refuse to do His will? Or are we willing to do the job God gives us to do? Many important lessons can be drawn from this interesting study of Jonah.
Our Ultimate Human Potential
The entire physical world we see is patterned after the spirit world we don’t see. In fact, humans were created in the very image and likeness of God the Father and Jesus Christ. And though we see suffering in the world, there will come a time when there will be no more sorrow, no more crying, no more death–when God creates a new heaven and a new earth. Just WHEN and HOW that will happen is very well explained in this message.
Do You Have the Heart of a Laodicean?
The predominant attitude of the end-time church is described as Laodicean. What does this mean? Could you have the heart of a Laodicean? Before you answer, learn from this sermon what God defines as Laodicean, then consider where you stand–hot, cold, or lukewarm.
The Book of Habakkuk
Have you ever wondered why God allows the wicked to prosper, while the righteous suffer? Do you wonder if God even sees the evil in the world? And if He does, why doesn’t he do something about it? Habakkuk wondered about these things and earnestly sought understanding from God. God’s response to him actually correlates to the world we live in today. Learn how in this sermon.
