When God Roars: Return to Me
Amos 4
God’s ongoing desire is to build an alternative community of righteousness and justice. This was his plan for Israel, but they had become divided. The Northern Kingdom, which still bore the name Israel, continued to sin with their piece-meal approach to worship and their oppression of the poor. God disciplines Israel with the hope that they will return to him. We who are followers of Christ are in a multi-ethnic community called the Church and God has made a way for us to return to him through the sacred act of communion.
