Study Outline for Amos 1 – 2:3
THE ROAR OF THE LORD Amos 1:1 – 2:3 Amos is a herdsmen or shepherd who was called by God to go to the northern kingdom of Israel during the time of king Uzziah (also known as Azariah in 1 Kings 14:21ff). Why would God send a shepherd from Judah to Israel? God still had …
According To The Word Of The LORD
"Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he brake down, and burned the high place, and stamped it small to powder, and burned the grove. And as Josiah turned himself, he …
Forgiveness Of Sin and Consequences Of Sin
"And Nathan said to David, 'Thou art the man. 'Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; and I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of …
God is My King
"O God, why hast Thou cast off for ever? Doth Thine anger smoke against the sheep of Thy pasture? Remember Thy congregation, Thou hast purchased of old; the rod of Thine inheritance, Thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein Thou hast dwelt. Lift up Thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; all the enemy hath done …
The King, The Man of GOD, and The Prophet
"And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Bethel: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. And he cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, 'O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; 'Behold, a child shall be born …
Jesus, the Greatest Prophet
"The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto Him ye shall hearken; according to all that thou desiredst of the LORD thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, 'Let me not hear again the voice of …
Recognizing the True Prophet
"If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, 'Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;' thou shalt not hearken …
Whose Words Shall Stand?
In a world where there are many words spoken. Some religious, some political, much trivial and inconsequential, talk among family and friends of events, church activities, teaching, and on and on we could go. In the prophet Jeremiah's day following the capture of Jerusalem the people chose to disobey God, even though the prophet had …
When God’s Word is Fulfilled
It is not a matter of "If"; it is a matter of when God's word comes to pass. How do you respond to the messenger of God's Word when that word is explained in expositional preaching, and it leaves you feeling guilty of sin, or it seems contrary to what "You believe"? There was a …
Our Worship
It is a sad thing when the heart of God’s people grow cold toward Him, His word, His ways, His Son Jesus, and His Spirit. That was a very prominent thing in the land of Israel and Judah. They had grown away from God. Still maintaining their worship ritual, without heart for God; giving Him …
The Peril of a False Messenger
There are a lot of messengers in this old world. Everyone's opinion is as good as anybody else. That is what we are told, and as far as human opinion goes; that is based assumptions and pretense; then your opinion is as good as mine. However, when it comes to the truths of God's Word …
Changing Gods
The prophet had an eye and heart for the true God, and His word. He despised what was happening in Judah, and Jerusalem; the hypocrisy within the priesthood. The false sense of security for the people and the temple. It seems many were believing that no matter what we do, we are God's chosen people, …
Priesthood to Prophet
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:4-5 (NKJV) From the first verse of Jeremiah's prophecy we see that he was a member of a family …
The Calling
For the month of September I will be preaching in the prophecy of Jeremiah. Every Sunday morning and evening we will be looking at the life, work, and ministry of this "Weeping Prophet". Why is he sometimes called the "Weeping Prophet"? Is there a need for more weeping; from Christians in the day which we …
