Introduction to the Book of Amos

Pastor Peront begins a study of the book of Amos. Amos was a sheep-breeder, a sycamore tender, and a farmer. He was not a prophet by trade or a son of prophet. But he was willing to heed God's call and he faithfully preached the message God gave him. Amos preached to the nation of Israel that God expected them to notice when they were not in His favor and return to Him in repentance. Amos preaches the judgment of God but continues to reiterate the hope that could be found in repentance.
