Mandat of Mishpat - When God Turns the Mirror Around

When God Turns the Mirror Around | Amos 1–2

Amos wasn't a professional prophet — he was a shepherd and a fig tree pruner from Tekoa. But God sent him to deliver one of the most uncomfortable messages in all of Scripture. In this opening sermon of our series on the book of Amos, we walk through chapters 1 and 2, where Amos masterfully builds a case against the surrounding nations before turning the full weight of God's judgment on Israel itself. The charge isn't war crimes or atrocities — it's injustice dressed up in religious respectability. If Israel's story feels uncomfortably familiar, that's the point.
