In this week's sermon of our Minor Prophets series, we walk with Amos—the farmer-turned-prophet who steps out of the echo chamber to deliver a hard truth to God’s people. Using Amos’ image of the plumb line, we explore what it means to measure our lives against God’s standard rather than the people around us.

From “ivory houses” and injustice toward the poor, to modern comfort, comparison, and online echo chambers, we press into one big question: Who is your Amos—the honest voice with nothing to gain who can help you live a life of true mishpat (justice) and right living before God?

In this episode, we walk through the book of Joel and its vivid image of a devastating locust plague to explore how God uses discipline not to crush us, but to call us back to Himself.

You’ll be challenged that if all the extras were stripped away—comfort, tech, even your religious routines—what would your worship look like? And how might God want to use your story of struggle and restoration as a prophetic voice to others?

Perfect for anyone feeling spiritually numb, going through a season of loss, or sensing that it’s time for a turnaround in their walk with God.
