Your sermon is one that introduces people to the prophecy of Amos. Because there is so much confusion about the work of prophets, you will spend some time explaining their role. You will also spend time explaining the background of the book, so that listeners are aware of the context in which Amos’s message was given. Specifically, your sermon will emphasize that the Lord speaks to his people and that we must listen to his voice.
