This Sunday, we begin a new series through the Book of Amos. God called Amos from the pastures of Tekoa to speak a message of judgment to the Northern Kingdom of Israel. While Amos lived in the 8th Century BC, his message is relevant for us today. May God use these ancient words to set us on a course of availability to God and radically holy living.
