Woe Unto Those Who Are At Ease In Zion
Amos 6:1-8 Adapted from Charts & Sermon by Mark Mayberry

Then and Now Many at ease in the days of Amos
Had a false sense of security Given to their luxuries & material possessions Not see impending danger of God’s judgment Many modern saints also at ease in Zion Lukewarm, lethargic & lulled to sleep by Satan Given to pursuit of materialism & pleasure Fail to consider the coming judgment of God

Excuses Sometimes Heard For Failure To Do The Work

“There is nothing to do”
If Christians are at ease today, it is not because there is nothing to do. In fact, there is much work to be accomplished. Jeremiah 48:10 John 4:34-35; 9:4-5; 17:4; 19:28-30 1 Corinthians 15:58 Ephesians 2:8-10

“There is excess of workers”
If Christians are at ease today, it is not because there is an excess of workers. In fact, there is a shortage of workers. Matthew 9:35-38 Romans 16:3-23 Colossians 4:10-11 Philemon 1, 23-24 2 Timothy 4:9-12 3 John 5-8

“There is plenty of time”
Job 7:6 Job 9:25-26 Psalm 39:4-5 Psalm 103:13-16 2 Corinthians 6:1-2 Ephesians 5:15-16 James 4:13-15 If Christians are at ease today, it is not because there is plenty of time. In fact, time and opportunity are limited.

Conclusion Like those of Amos’ day, the church at Laodicea was also at ease in Zion Despite their complacency, they were facing desperate spiritual problems God demands that all such individuals be zealous and repent (Revelation 3:14-19) We must be diligent & zealous in the Lord’s work (Titus 2:11-14).
