An analysis of Amos the prophet, his origins in the village near Bethlehem, his era under Usiah of Judah and Jeroboam II of Israel, and how a farmer became a chosen messenger of the Lord. The lesson discusses God’s method of calling prophets and Amos’s humble beginnings.
The sermon compares God’s plumb-line to check the wall of faith and questions how His Church would measure against divine word. It recounts Amos denouncing Damascus, Gaza, Tyre, Edom, Ammon, Moab, Judah, and Israel, and notes Amaziah’s opposition and Jeroboam’s indifference to prophetic warning.
A fragment discusses Amos as a true prophet aware of his divine mission. It notes he never doubts his calling, remains mindful of his humble origin, and emphasizes the sacred nature of prophetic authority.
The text argues that when God calls a man to work, he obeys despite priestly opposition. Amos denounces the conventional priest, warning of judgment on Israel. It reflects on God’s irrevocable judgments and historical punishment through captivity, noting the eternal truth that sin brings death.
