When our world is divided and people are hurting, what’s our responsibility as followers of Christ? Where do we even start? In this message, we’ll learn how we can embrace the role God wants us to play in bringing unity and healing.

To say that Jesus is Lord is to say that he is not only the Son of God but also that he is God himself in the flesh. Realizing this shows the greatness and grandeur of God’s love—that he would become a man and die for us. This revelation changes our hearts and minds forever. Christ’s lordship also means that his words are truly God’s words—and must be trusted and obeyed. To say that we must trust and obey Christ doesn’t mean that salvation depends on us being perfect. Rather, following Jesus as Lord is the attitude of complete surrender and obedience to Jesus Christ.

Amos, a shepherd from Judah called by God to prophecy against Israel. Israel lived in false sense of security as God's covenant people thinking they are blessed by God by their riches and there would be no consequence for their disobedience.

The message of Amos reminds us today that we should not base our walk with God on anything other than truly seeking Jesus and to grow closer to God.

Sin and Salvation:

The earth, humanity—all that we see around us—had a beginning. God declared each phase of creation “good”—until he created the first man, Adam, and said that it was “not good” for him to be alone. So God created Eve, the first woman, and gave the original couple everything to enjoy. They were only forbidden to eat the fruit of one tree: the “tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” The fatal decision that followed and its tragic results have affected all of human history. Humanity would pass down this fatal flaw, this inner corruption, from generation to generation. The power of evil and darkness would have prevailed—except for God’s intervention. His plan of salvation, of deliverance from evil’s power, began to unfold in that very Garden of Eden. This is the primary story of the entire Bible.
