This week, we will look at Amos 5:1-17. We will see the prophet again pronounce judgment on the people of Israel, only this time the form of the judgment will change. Amos is going to lament over the coming judgment, while he points out the sin that brings judgment. And this week, he will give the people the way through judgment. He will call them to seek the Lord and live.
