Amos 1:3-2:16 – 5th June 2005
•	God is clearly angry in this passage.  Is God’s anger an important attribute or an embarrassing one?  How might this be a dangerous doctrine?
•	Look at the criticisms of the nations in 1:3-2:3 and consider:
o	What this has to say to our nation and others
o	What this has to say to non-Christians whom we know personally.
•	Why is God angry with Judah and Israel?  In what ways could he be angry with us for similar reasons?
•	Christians are assured that “there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:1).  Doesn’t this make Amos’ accusations irrelevant to us?
•	What makes their rebellion particularly heinous?  How might this apply to us?
•	In what practical ways do you think God might be calling you to respond either as an individual, or us as a church?
