Learn Why Justice Matters to God Through the Book of Amos
The prophet Amos was a simple shepherd and an unlikely prophet, yet he delivered a powerful message to Israel and its neighbors--a declaration of God's heart for justice. Trusted Bible teacher Vanessa Hawkins invites us to lean in and listen closer to Amos because what was true about God's justice for ancient Israel is also true for us today.
This eight-week study on the book of Amos invites you to explore why justice is so important to God. The Roar of Justice will help you gain a greater understanding of God's justice and his righteous rule, while simultaneously recognizing his intense love and deep desire for the flourishing of all people.
In this Bible study, you'll find
- five days of guided study each week,
- engaging video teachings from the author, and
- a framework to help you learn what the Scriptures say and mean and how to respond.
Hawkins points you toward the challenge contained in the message of Amos, encouraging you to listen carefully to Scripture, earnestly reflect on the truths that you hear about injustice, and be willing to be transformed by what you discover.
In The Roar of Justice, you'll discover that justice isn't buried in the pages of Amos; it is a mighty and resounding theme that flows throughout Scripture straight from the heart of God.
