When God Roars: God’s Gonna Cut You Down
Amos 3
Israel had broken off from Judah, developed a strong army and wealthy economy by plundering her enemies. They felt secure within their piecemeal system of worship in Bethel and in their lavish summer and winter homes. Such affluence brought arrogance and a disregard for God’s law. God’s message to them has been echoed in an old folk song, “You can run on for a long time, run on for a long time, run on for a long time, but sooner or later God’ll cut you down.” In this message, Pastor Derek discusses God’s judgment on Israel, the role of prophets/prophecy today, and why putting your hope in wealth and “going to church” is futile.
