Author: Michael Whitworth | 13 lessons, 128 pages

When worship rings loud but justice grows silent.

The book of Amos confronts a comfortable people with an uncomfortable truth: religious activity cannot replace righteous living. Through visions, oracles, and poetic warnings, Amos exposes the danger of spiritual complacency. Prosperity had dulled Israel’s conscience, and worship had become disconnected from compassion. Yet even amid stern warnings, Amos holds out hope: the God who judges injustice also longs to restore his people and rebuild what sin has destroyed.

Amos from Start2Finish is a 13-lesson journey through this powerful prophetic book and will help Bible classes or small groups hear God’s call to justice, humility, and faithful obedience. In the process, vital truths such as the inseparability of worship and ethics, the seriousness of sin, and the hope of divine restoration will be affirmed.
