Amos - The Word of a Prophet Part 2: Is It Actually Hard To Understand
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - October 05, 2014
Cows of Bashan, sacrifices, worms devouring olive trees, death, opulence, corruption, rivers, exile, oppression, darkness—this is the content of the text that we’re going to be digging into this Sunday. We’re continuing our series on the book of Amos and continuing to grapple with the question of how we can hear the Lord speaking to us today through the ancient, sometimes obscure prophecies recorded in the Bible. This week we’re going to be particularly looking for how we can find a relevant message for our lives in these challenging texts. | By Rev. Malcolm G.

"I saw by night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse, and it stood among the myrtle trees in the hollow; and behind him were horses: red , sorrel, and white" (Zechariah 1:8).

This week we begin a five week series delving into the book of Amos, one of the Old Testament prophets. Throughout the series we'll be grappling with the question of how we can hear the Lord speaking to us today through the ancient , sometimes obscure prophecies recorded in the Bible.

Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - September 14, 2014
The last of the Ten Commandments involves not coveting. According to the Heavenly Doctrines by commanding us not to covet, the Lord is warning us not to allow evils to enter into our will. Why?
