When God calls you, speak up. When God convicts you, listen up.
In the book of Amos, God uses an ordinary shepherd to deliver an extraordinary message.
Message from Chris Kouba | Sunday October 26, 2025.
Amos wasn’t a prophet by trade—he was a herdsman and fig farmer. But when God called, he obeyed. Through him, God exposed a culture that looked successful on the surface but was spiritually rotting underneath.
In this message, Pastor Chris walks us through how Amos’s story speaks directly to us today. We live in abundance. We have access to church, worship, and Christian content like never before. But have we let comfort dull our conviction? Have we traded justice for convenience, and worship for performance?
Amos reminds us that God doesn’t call the equipped—He equips the called. He calls us to speak up when He prompts us and to listen up when His Spirit convicts us. Because His goal isn’t judgment—it’s restoration.
Message Highlights:
God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things
Worship without justice is worthless
The danger of the “Sunday–Monday gap”
Conviction is not condemnation—it’s an invitation to restoration
“Seek Me and live.” — Amos 5:4
Next Steps:
When God calls you — Speak Up
When God convicts you — Listen Up
📍 At The Movies starts in two weeks — the perfect time to invite a friend!
