  2. The message of Amos comes home to us as we reflect on the prosperity in our land, our good life, our comparative comfort which are no guarantee that God looks favorably on our ways of living.
  3. God’s Word is not merely information to be conveyed about ideas. No, the proclaimed Word of God is powerful, effective, active, and it has the ability to bring about the reality it was sent to proclaim.
  4. Lamentations bids us to keep this in mind, that we always have hope when we hope in the Lord.
  5. Job is given something so much more comforting than an explanation: He is assured of God’s nearer presence.
  6. Ultimately, God’s plan is not just for nations and politics. His plan is one of salvation, seen ultimately fulfilled in Christ.
  7. In order to find hope, you would have to run a marathon through your Bible to find where God reverses the curse on another tree!
  8. Through His Word, Jesus is fashioning and forming us to be His disciples who follow Him. It is important on this first Sunday after Pentecost that we remember to put worship (sabbath) first.
  9. We look on the face of God in Christ and rejoice on account of His shed blood and righteousness which sets us free to be the people of God.
  10. “Can these bones live?” God asks Ezekiel, challenging the prophet and all who have ever looked into the face of death, and calling for a response.

  12. During the Easter season, our redemption as Christians is proof that God, in Christ alone, is all our righteousness and strength.
