Have you ever watched someone you love make a decision that you know will end badly—and no matter what you say, they won’t listen? When words fail, all that’s left is to cry out to God. This is where we find Amos in chapter 5. His lament isn’t just poetic grief; it’s the sound of a heart breaking over a people who have forgotten what true worship means. We, too, are called to lament and to grieve over the broken things of our world: exploitation, poverty, violence, division. But lament is not where worship ends. True worship moves us. Amos challenges His people to move from empty performance to lives of practical righteousness—a life of worship is a life that acts. Join us in highlighting how our church and global partners live out justice and mercy in tangible ways.
