Amos 7:16-17

Do you have ideas for change but feel powerless to implement them? Do you respect your leaders’ authority but yearn for them to see your vision? Leadership is not position. It’s influence.

This devotional is by Influence coauthors Philip Morrison and Hankuri Gaya.

This Advent Guide comes from students, faculty and staff at Belmont University. Advent is that season of waiting that carefully and purposefully helps us to realign our priorities and to glimpse, anew, our place before God. Our humble hope is this guide helps people focus more fully on Jesus Christ through the Advent season.

Amos was a prophet on a mission to shake Israel out of their moral complacency. He prophesied during a time of great stability and prosperity when Israel had abandoned God and neglected the vulnerable in society. His no-holds-barred message is a warning and a plea to God’s people, urging them to turn back to the Lord. Matt Fuller will help you to apply the teaching of Amos to your own life.
