Can God Really Restore What Feels Broken Beyond Repair? (Amos 9)   The book of Amos is a hard read. For eight chapters it's warning after warning — until the very end, when the whole tone changes. In this finale of "Let the Lion Roar," Rev. Vicki Harrison preaches Amos 9:11-15 and the way God chooses to close a difficult book: not with judgment, but with a promise to restore. If you've ever felt like you're stuck in a long winter — disconnected, dry, going through the motions on Sunday but living a different life the rest of the week — this message is for you. Pastor Vicki walks through God's promise to rebuild what's fallen, to gather in the people once counted as enemies, and to plant his people in a place they'll never be uprooted from again. Along the way she shows how this ancient prophecy pointed all the way to Jesus, and to the kind of restoration you actually need. To restore something, she reminds us, is to bring it back to its original condition and return it to its rightful owner. That's the invitation here: wherever you've been, whatever your past, God offers to make you whole again — and he keeps his promises. Scripture: Amos 9:11-15 Series: Let the Lion Roar Speaker: Rev.

What do you do when you realize your worship has drifted into routine — present on Sunday, but disconnected from how you live the rest of the week? In Amos 5, the prophet sings a funeral song over Israel, and then hands them a way out: seek the Lord and live. In this message, Rev. Vicki Harrison traces Amos 5 from its opening dirge to its famous call — "let justice roll on like a river" — and shows why God refuses worship that ignores justice. It's an honest, challenging word, but the door it opens is hopeful: the same God who warns is the God still saying, come back. Scripture: Amos 5 Series: Let the Lion Roar Speaker: Rev.

Everybody's an expert on what's wrong with the world — but Amos had a harder question. In week 3 of The Voice, our summer series through the Minor Prophets, Pastor Lawrence introduces us to Amos: a shepherd and fig farmer with no prophetic pedigree, called by God to confront a prosperous, comfortable people who loved hearing about everyone else's failures. When Amos turned the spotlight around, his message stopped being popular — and started getting personal. This week, sit with the question Amos leaves for all of us: if someone learned about God only by watching your life, what would they learn?Show Notes:Why God sends "warnings" — and the people He uses to deliver themAmos the unlikely prophet: a farmer, not a professional (Amos 7:14)How God uses ordinary people whose hearts are turned toward HimA warning delivered in a season of peace and prosperity (~800 BC, Jeroboam II)The "for three sins, even for four" pattern — and why the crowd cheeredThe turn: when Amos named the sins of God's own people (Amos 2:6)Justice for the poor, compromise, and worship without the heart (Isaiah 29:13)Living in the world but not of it (1 John 2:15)Scripture: Amos 1–4; 7:14; Acts 2:44–45; 1 John 2:15; Isaiah 29:13; Leviticus 20:26Next Steps:Reflect this week: what would people learn about God by watching your life?Pick one area — words, relationships, work, generosity — to live "set apart" this weekNew here or ready to take a next step?

Is success always a sign of God's blessing?In Amos chapter 5, the prophet Amos delivers one of the strongest messages in the Old Testament. Israel was thriving—economically strong, politically stable, and religiously active. But beneath the surface, spiritual sickness was growing.In this powerful message, Pastor Reggie unpacks:Why God rejected Israel's worshipHow prosperity can hide spiritual decayWhat it means to “let justice roll like a river”The difference between religious activity and true righteousnessWhy worship must impact how we live Monday through SaturdayThe issue wasn't a lack of religion — it was a lack of righteousness.Amos confronts a culture that equated growth with God's approval. But movement does not equal health. Success does not always mean blessing.This sermon challenges us to ask:Has comfort dulled our conviction?Has success hidden sickness in our lives?Does our worship shape how we treat people?If you're studying the Minor Prophets, the Book of Amos, or looking for a Bible teaching on justice, righteousness, and authentic worship — this message is for you.
