Amos

1.      How has your view of God been affected through studying His actions in the book of Amos?

2.      Do most people believe in a God who judges? Who roars (1:2)? Why or why not?  How would such belief affect the way one lives?

3.      What two major areas of Israel’s sin did Amos attack? (5:26-27;  5:10-13)  

4.      What relationship do you see between our worship and our actions?  True repentance should lead to what kind of behavior? (5:14-15,24)

5.      Should Christians care for the poor?  If so, how?

6.      Israel had become self-centered and lazy (chap.6). How is this a problem in the American church or in your own life?

7.      In light of coming judgment, how do you know God still cares for His people? (7:3,6; 9:11-15)

8.      How will you escape judgment and receive God’s mercy and blessing instead?
