Back to the Start (1 of 6)
Series: Amos
Jim Perdue
Amos 1:1-2
This morning, I begin a brand new series on the Old Testament book of Amos. It's a series I'm calling, Let Justice Roll. It's a title that I've stolen directly from the text of Scripture in Amos 5:24 where it says, ''Let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.'' (ON SCREEN)
So, find Amos in your Bibles. *I love to hear rustling pages as you open your Bible. Some of you are rustling your pages a bit more than usual this morning as you're trying to find this Minor Prophet tucked away in the dusty section of your Bible. Maybe you have to peel the pages apart that are stuck together but I promise it's in there. Let me help you a little bit. It's right between Joel and Obadiah. And some of you are saying, ''Thanks preacher, but that ain't much help!'' It's on page 1203 in my Bible if that helps you.*
*Though Amos is considered a ''minor prophet'' his influence and impact is anything but minor.

This morning, I'm beginning this series with a sermon entitled, Back to the Start. *Have you ever ha a moment in your life when you wish you could've started over? Maybe you wish you could have pressed the pause button, then rewind a little bit and have another try? When I was a kid, I remember thinking, ''What if life was like some of these video games. When something happens you don't like, you can just go back to the start and try again.'' Well, one of the things Amos is trying to do is to get the people of God to go back to the start, back to the beginning, back to the basics of what it means to follow God. This is a great lesson for us today. Maybe God is calli ...
