Description

A prophet stands at the village edge with a word too heavy for silence, and we choose to walk beside him. Through markets and meals, broken fences and shared bread, we experience Amos not as a distant warning but as a living call to shape our days with justice, mercy, and courage. The sights and sounds of Tekoa—honest scales, singing shepherds, oil lamps at dusk—turn theology into practice and remind us that worship is neighbor-love in action.

We read Amos 3 in full and let its images do their work: the lion that roars, the trumpet that startles, the house of ivory that cannot stand on stolen breath. Being chosen is not a cushion; it is a charge to mirror God’s character in public life. We ask hard questions about trust, responsibility, and restoration, and we hear a steady answer: the Lord’s discipline aims to heal, not to harm. Justice becomes a plumb line for our conduct, and mercy becomes the habit that keeps hope alive.

Between prayers and stories, weddings and widows, hospitality emerges as a form of holiness. The village teaches us that small acts matter—returning a cloak before sunset, leaving the field’s edges for the poor, speaking truth even when it costs us. Under ancient stars, we name one concrete step toward the common good: an act of mercy, a straight choice, a brave word. Walk with us through the text and the town, and consider what story your life will tell.
