I. Israel’s Sin: Failure to Honor God (Amos 3:1-8)

  • Principle: God’s People should Glorify Him with their Lives.
  • Application: How is your life bringing glory to God?
  • Scripture Reference

11 Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul.
12 Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation.
I Peter 2:11-12 (NASB)

II. Israel’s Judgment: Destruction (Amos 3:9-15)

  • Principle: God will discipline His People when they fail to honor Him.
  • Application: Where does your life need to change today to avoid reprove and discipline from the Lord?
  • Scripture Reference

18 I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.
19 Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.
Revelation 3:18-19 (NASB)
