"The Lord Roars"

This message begins a new series through the book of Amos, a challenging Old Testament prophet whose words call God’s people to listen when God speaks. Amos was an ordinary shepherd and farmer from Tekoa whom God sent from Judah to confront the northern kingdom of Israel. His calling shows that God requires no prestige or power—only a willing heart ready to obey.

Although Israel appeared prosperous and secure, God saw injustice, oppression, neglect of the poor, and worship disconnected from righteous living. Amos reminds us to examine our own hearts instead of applying God’s Word only to others. “The Lord roars” because He cares: His strong correction warns His people of danger, calls them away from hypocrisy, and invites them to return to Him with humility, repentance, and obedience.
