Presentation transcript:

‘…I have put a plumb line in your midst.’ Amos 7 ‘…I have put a plumb line in your midst.’

I. Two Visions Before The Plumb Line Vision 1-6 Then He showed me… 1a, 4a Vision of locusts 1-3 Lord forms…the locusts…Amos prays…Lord relents Relent = Vision of fire 4-6 Lord calls for fire…fire…Amos prays…Lord relents

Applications Do you understand that God brings some disasters? Your prayer may alter the plans of God.

II. The Vision of The Plumb Line 7-9 Then He showed me … 7a Vision of the plumb line He showed me…7b plumb line = He said to me…8,9 Israel destroyed ~30 years later.

Applications The written word of God is the plumb line in the world today. How does your life measure up to the Bible, say with respect to worldliness? With …? The incarnate Word of God is the plumb line in the world today. Are you convinced Jesus is the only way to God?

III. Fallout From The Vision Of The Plumb Line Amos went to Bethel Amaziah the priest of Bethel 10-13 1. Speaks to the King about Amos 10, 11 2. Rebukes Amos 12, 13 Amos answers Amaziah 14-17

Applications You should prepare your heart to hear what God wants to say to you. God may have some hard things for you to hear. Are you willing to hear them? The rejection of biblical preaching today is a sign of the last days.
