Small Books, Big Voices: Amos

Experience & Encounter

These questions are an invitation to experience your life with God. Use them on your own or in community as you seek to follow Jesus.

1. While Amos records judgments against the nations, most of his writing is about God’s judgment of His own people in Israel and Judah. What does this tell us about God?
2. Time and again, Amos speaks up for the poor (e.g., Amos 2:6-7; 4:1) and for those the justice system has failed (e.g., Amos 5:10, 12, 15). Justice is often a difficult topic for Christians to talk about without disagreeing. What are some acts of justice that can be done in Jesus’ name?
3. Amos intercedes before the Lord for the people and God forgives the people (Amos 7:1-6). Where do you see a need for God’s justice? How can you maintain a heart of love to pray for those who sit under God’s judgment?
