A Harvest for God’s People

Amos 9:11-15

About the Sermon

Speaking for myself, I don't spend too much time thinking of where food comes from. If you're like me, we are the exception. Amos' vision of a new creation is one of incredible bounty and beauty, flowing and overflowing with food and drink. The best part? We get to enjoy this as recipients of God's grace, for he will include some from every nation in this blessed feast. None of us deserve it. That's the point of most of the book of Amos leading up to chapter 9:11–15.

About the Series

East of Eden we should expect little more than parched, dry, hard ground. We certainly find plenty of that spiritually speaking. And yet when the Scriptures speak of the future they fill our vision of the imagery not of death but of great harvest—overflowing, bountiful, and life-giving harvest. This vision fuels the church’s global mission, for it represents God’s commitment to turn back the curse by the Spirit through the gospel of his Son. In this two-part series, we turn to the vision of a great harvest for God’s people through the prophet Amos, then to a harvest of God’s people in Jesus’ call to pray for laborers.
