Amos and Worship

The Book of Amos is full of God’s judgement upon the people of Israel. Spoken around 750 BC, many of its oracles speak of God’s anger at the injustice within Israel and warn of the destruction coming upon the nation because of this. Amos also has some very harsh things to say about the ‘worship’ taking place alongside this injustice at shrines such as Bethel and Gilgal. This has led many to believe that the theme of the book is the true worship that God requires from his people. During this series we will therefore think about how our worship needs to change in the light of Amos’ message.
