In this tenth week of our “Bible in 100 Passages” journey, we are exploring the prophets.

Today we specifically focus on the prophet Amos, who told the people that if they think they are following God’s will, they have failed. They have focused on the ritual of looking faithful rather than actually being faithful.  

Here, Matt Helms invites us to reflect on how the vision the prophets provide is compelling and hopeful — as it dares us to believe that a world of justice, a world where millions aren’t marginalized in poverty, might one day exist.
