The challenges of the prophets Amos and Hosea, and their messages to the people from God. What did God mean then, and what the message mean today?
Condemning the people's raising of personal riches while neglecting the poor in their community. Resisting hypocrisy and practicing a life of love toward each other. Caring for others is essential for serving God.
The purpose of worship and the true message of what it means to be Christian, not just what feels good.
God wants us to feel better by becoming better people, not to shame us into submission.
The image of a God of wrath not grace comes from the Old Testament relationship with God.
God's will vs. our freedom to act, blaming God vs. taking personal responsibility. The importance of free will and the choices we make make us responsible for the world we make out of God's creation.
We are the sowers in the field, and the harvest and depends on what we sow in the name of God.
"Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream." (Amos 5:24)
