First things first

It’s been a challenging sermon series, yet the faithful preaching of The Word of God demands that the whole counsel of God be addressed. Not that every aspect of the Bible is covered in every sermon, but that there is a pivotal proclamation of Jesus Christ and His saving gospel promise.
At Kaleo we are currently going through the book of Amos. This minor prophet brings a lot of heat, calling Judah and israel to return to the Lord. Today we went through chapter two and I recognized that I am no different from the querulous Israelites. Yet we have the good news of redemption in Christ, the Lord and Savior who came to live the life we cannot and to die the death we all deserve as sinful humans. I pray that the church heeds the call of Amos and proclaims the Gospel, living in light of the good news. The benediction came from Ezekiel 37. The chapter shows us the power of God unto salvation and an important doctrine–regeneration. I’m grateful that I was in church today hearing that prophetic Word.
