The Story of Amos - Part 2

God told the Israelites that he was going to 'measure' how good they really were. He talked about using a plumb line like builders do to see if everything is straight and true. Sometimes things look good...but are they really?

We tried to draw some straight lines on the whiteboard then we held a plumb line beside them to measure if they were really straight.

Fono did a great job of drawing a straight line - look at how close
her line is to the plumb line!

The lines we thought were straight were not really straight at all! God wants us to live His way - not just doing 'good' things but doing 'God' things! He will measure us by His rules.

The Story of Amos - Part 1

D1 has been learning about Amos from the Bible. We had a treasure hunt around the room for some clues about Amos and found these...

These 2 pictures show us the jobs that Amos had - he was a shepherd and he grew figs!

These scrolls had messages inside...

Amos was a messenger for God - a prophet. The 3 scrolls showed us the message God sent to the Israelites:

WARNING - Prepare to meet your God!

CHOICE - Are you going to choose to do good or evil?

PROMISE - If you choose to do good, God will come and be with you always.


What would you do if God sent this message to you?
