Pastor Brian introduces a new series on the Minor Prophets. This session focuses on Amos 1-2, which prepares Israel for the gospel. Amos, a shepherd from Tekoa, prophesied against eight nations around 760 BC, highlighting their sins and God's judgment. The Israelites initially approved, seeing it as divine justice against their pagan neighbors. However, Amos' final prophecy against Israel shocked them, revealing their own sins and God's impending wrath. Brian emphasizes the importance of Jesus' sacrifice in satisfying God's wrath and calls for a reminder of the gospel's urgency in today's world.
