We are continuing our series in the book of Amos, looking at true biblical justice. As we learned last week, justice is close to the heart of God. This week Chris takes us into the economic climate of Israel. Spoiler alert: It was GOOD! During this time of wealth and prosperity, the rich were getting richer but it was on …
One word we seem to hear often in our society is, “Justice.” Sadly the word is being redefined from its true meaning.

This program is a rebroadcast from October 15, 2016. Last week Chris kicked off our series with a look into the book of Matthew and its message to a Jewish audience.
