Called to... Speak Prophetically (Amos 7:7-17)

This week, Pastor Joe continues our sermon series on Calling by turning to Amos 7:7-17. He wonders if we’re in a season when we are called to be modern-day prophets in a world that desperately needs them, especially as we notice the ways the state is coopting religion. Perhaps we are being called to confront the systems and structures that keep us out of alignment with God; to confront the ways the church has cozied up to power, even when it means silencing the prophets; to confront injustice, even when it’s legal, even when it’s profitable.
