02 The Roar from Zion - Amos 1'3-2'3

John Owen Butler

PM 02 Feb 2026 In Amos 1:3–2:3, the Lord roars from Zion, declaring His holy judgment against the nations for cruelty, oppression, betrayal, hatred, and violence. This sermon traces God’s justice through the oracles against Damascus, Gaza, Tyre, Edom, Ammon, and Moab, and shows how these judgments ultimately point us to Jesus Christ. Christ is revealed as the righteous Judge, the innocent Sufferer who bore judgment at the cross, the true Israel, and the only refuge for sinners. Outside of Christ, the roar is terror; in Christ, it is safety and peace.
