25-Aug-2026
In Hebrew, the name Amos means “burden-bearer”. He was not a priest, or a previously known prophet, instead he claims to be a sheep-breeder and sycamore-fig tree farmer. His home was in a small, fortified town about five miles south of Bethlehem in the nation of Judah. With these not-very-impressive credentials Amos was called by God to confront the powerful nation of northern Israel, and the way he writes has earned him the nickname of God’s angry man. He cannot have been a very popular prophet in Israel as he came boldly against their religious center in Samaria for their worship of Baal. He would have been a serious pain, and he seems to have wanted nothing more than to just go back to his farm! But Amos was faithful to God
and God’s call on his life. His central message was to seek God and God’s righteousness so that you can live! Amos 1 tells us everything we need to know about Amos and demonstrates his dedication to the LORD.

Servant of the LORD; Obadiah 1-14
There is some scholarly debate over the book of Obadiah. In Hebrew, the name Obadiah means, “Servant of the LORD”. Some scholars believe that the man who wrote this book, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, wanted to stay anonymous, so he wrote as “Obadiah” rather than with his given name. ...

Running from the LORD; Jonah1-4
There is so much to love within the story of Jonah, and it’s not because of the greatness of this eighth century BC prophet, quite to the contrary. Once again for the prophets of God, Jonah’s name is fitting. It means “dove” and can imply a sort of simple foolishness. When the people of Nineveh h...
