Crying Out

Seeking justice in today's world

It doesn't take much for us to spot where things aren't right in the world. Raw sewage pollutes our rivers and lakes; fearmongering focuses our attention on those who are different to us; wars in Ukraine and Israel bring us to our knees in distress. Where is God in the midst of these places? And how does the church respond? 

These are questions we'll be thinking about as we study the book of Amos, whose message from God for the people of Israel is timely and challenging for us today.
