• If God commands in judgment “Fallen, no more to rise, is the virgin Israel” (Amos 5:2), how can he invite the house of Israel to “seek me and live” (Amos 5:4)?
• How do you “seek good, and not evil” (Amos 5:14)? Give specific examples.
• What does it mean to lament and mourn (Amos 5:1, 16)? How can the church help people lament and mourn appropriately?
