The Roar of Justice: A Study of Amos
Sermon Series

The prophet Amos, a shepherd and fig-tree tender from Judah, confronted his prosperous yet corrupt people in the 8th century BC. Despite the economic stability and political security of the time, Amos’s message exposed their hypocrisy, empty worship, oppression of the poor, injustice, complacency, and idolatry. He called for genuine repentance, justice, and covenant faithfulness. His message served as both a warning of impending judgment and a promise of restoration.

“The Roar of Justice” is a sermon series that aims to apply the timeless principles of this ancient prophet to the church of today. The call of God upon his people remains constant: to pursue holiness, practice justice, and demonstrate a living faith through sacrificial obedience.

    Amos springs a trap on Judah and Israel, drawing them into condemning the sins of the surrounding nations before turning the same judgment upon them. God’s people are never exempt from His call to holiness; His grace does not lower His standard but gives us what we need to pursue…

    Aug 30, 2026 • 42:46

    In the book of Amos, the prophet spoke to Israel about the judgment of God that they would experience. They thought they were secure.
