Sermon

Summary
Amos, an ordinary shepherd, was called by God to prophesy judgment against Israel for materialism, injustice, and hypocrisy. The sermon teaches that God uses ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things, and calls listeners to respond to God's word through repentance and obedience despite feelings of inadequacy.
Highlights
God doesn't call the equipped he equips the called.
Whenever stuff gets prioritized, people get deprioritized, and the privileged in Israel were taking advantage of the poor.
One of the most important spiritual disciplines that you can ever learn to practice in your life is the practice of responding to the word of God.
