Sermon discussion questions:

1. Discuss the following summary of Amos 6:1-2: "Woe to the self-secure; for they will never be safe." How does our pride lull us into complacency and a false security?  

2. Discuss the following summary of Amos 6:3 (see also 5:18): "Woe to the ever-optimistic; for their whole glass shall be empty." How does the false promise of inevitable progress or unconditioned blessing dull our moral senses? 

3. Discuss the following summary of Amos 6:4-7: "Woe to the self-indulgent; for their party will come to a sudden end." How can our love of comfort atrophy our repentance?

Sermon Discussion Questions 

1. In their extravagant comfort, the privileged women of Northern Israel had grown quite complacent to the plight of poor, even complicit in their oppression (4:1). In what ways are we in danger of growing similarly complacent and perhaps complicit in prospering from the disadvantaging of the poor and disenfranchised? 

2. What personal idols or self-imposed rituals are we tempted to turn to in order to self-atone for our guilty consciences as comfortable and complacent people (4:4-5)? 

3. The past 6 months have been difficult for us all. How have you turned to self-reliance rather than repentance and God reliance during the COVID-19 pandemic (compare 4:6-11)? What might deeper repentance and God-reliance look like for you in the present moment?
