PM 29 March 2026 In Amos 5:1–17, the prophet sings a funeral song over a nation still alive but spiritually dead. Yet amid the lament, the voice of God calls graciously, “Seek Me and live.” This sermon traces the divine appeal through six movements—from the lament of Israel’s fall to the warning of coming judgment—showing that true life is found not in religious formality or moral pride, but in turning to the living God through repentance and faith. The same Lord who made the stars now offers mercy in His Son, Jesus Christ, who bore the fire of judgment so that sinners might live. To seek Him is life; to refuse Him is death.
