Hymn & Trumpet Tune from Variations on Janet Linker How Firm A Foundation

Call to Worship

Leader: Through the prophets, God calls us, the covenant people, to ensure justice rolls on like a river, and righteousness like a never-failing stream. People: We hear God’s call and we lay our lives aside in order to faithfully

respond as our true act of worship. Leader: Through the prophets, God calls us, the covenant people, to act justly and to

love mercy and to walk humbly with our God. People: We hear God’s call and we lay our lives aside in order to faithfully respond as our true act of worship. Leader: Let us sing, pray, and learn together then to the end that we might more faith fully respond to God’s call..

*Opening Prayer

Merciful and loving God: We’ve gathered together today as an expression of our faith in you. As we do, your word reminds us that faith in you demands faithful-ness; a faithfulness witnessed not simply in church on Sunday morning, but in a life lived faithfully throughout our days. Bless us today to be reminded that faithful lives are those working to ensure justice rolls on like a river, and right-eousness like a never-failing stream! We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Amos 7:7-15 (NRSV) This is what he showed me: the Lord was standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand. And the LORD said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said,

“See, I am setting a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel; I will never again pass them by; the high places of Isaac shall be made desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste, and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”

Amaziah Complains to the King

Then Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent to King Jeroboam of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the very center of the house of Israel; the land is not able to bear all his words. For thus Amos has said,

‘Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel must go into exile away from his land.’”

And Amaziah said to Amos, “O seer, go, flee away to the land of Judah, earn your bread there, and prophesy there; but never again prophesy at Bethel, for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a temple of the kingdom.” Then Amos answered Amaziah, “I am no prophet, nor a prophet’s son; but I am a herdsman, and a dresser of sycamore trees, and the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’
