Summary
Amos begins by indicting surrounding nations before turning to Israel—why might he structure his message this way, and how would that have impacted his original audience? How does God's rejection of Israel's worship in Amos 5 help us understand the relationship between justice and worship in the Old Testament? In today's episode, Director of Equipping, Chris Sherrod, talks with Watermark member, Cassidy Webber about Amos 1-5. Cassidy sets up the book of Amos for listeners and help answer these questions from the first 5 chapters.
