The story of Amos and Amaziah is found in Amos 7:10–17. It happened during the time of King Jeroboam II, when Israel was doing well economically but was deeply corrupt. People were worshiping idols, treating the poor unfairly, and turning away from God. So, God sent Amos, a prophet from the southern kingdom of Judah, to warn Israel about the judgment that was coming because of their sins.

Amaziah was a priest at Bethel, one of Israel’s main places of worship—but sadly, it had become a center for idol worship, especially of a golden calf. When Amaziah heard Amos’ warnings about God’s judgment and Israel’s coming destruction, he got worried. Amos was boldly saying that Israel would fall and the people would be taken into exile. Amaziah saw Amos as a threat—not just to religion but to the whole nation’s peace and the king’s authority.

So, Amaziah sent a message to King Jeroboam, accusing Amos of speaking against the king and causing trouble. Then, he went to Amos and told him to leave Israel and go back to Judah. He basically said, “Go home and preach there—we don’t want you prophesying here in Bethel, because this place belongs to the king.”

But Amos didn’t back down. He told Amaziah that he wasn’t a prophet because he chose to be one. He said he was just a shepherd and someone who cared for sycamore trees—until God called him and told him to speak to Israel. His authority didn’t come from any religious group—it came straight from God.

Then Amos gave Amaziah a strong warning from God: his wife would become a prostitute, his children would be killed, his land would be taken, and he himself would die in a foreign land. It was a heavy message showing how serious it is to reject God’s word and try to silence His messenger.

In the end, Amos didn’t stop. Even with opposition from powerful people like Amaziah, he stayed faithful to his mission. This whole event shows the struggle between God’s true message and a religious system that had gone corrupt—and how God still speaks, even through ordinary people, to call His people back to Him.

From the story of Amos and Amaziah in Amos 7:10–17, we can see that there were serious problems in Israel’s society at the time—things that went against God’s will and needed to be corrected.

First, the people were deeply involved in idolatry. Bethel, where Amaziah was a priest, had become a place where a golden calf was worshiped instead of the true God. This idol was set up by King Jeroboam I so that people wouldn’t travel to Jerusalem to worship. But this was completely against God’s command to worship Him alone. Amos spoke strongly against this, and it was clear that God was angry about this false worship.

Second, there was a serious problem with rejecting God’s truth. Amaziah tried to force Amos to stop preaching and leave the land. This shows how the people and leaders didn’t want to hear the truth from God. They wanted to protect their comfort, power, and religious system, even if it meant ignoring what God was saying. But silencing God’s messengers only made things worse, because it kept people from hearing the truth and repenting.

Third, there was corruption among religious leaders. Amaziah wasn’t just any man—he was a priest. Yet, instead of serving God faithfully, he supported a system that pleased the king and served political interests. Amos’ message—and other parts of the book—show that leaders were unfair to the poor, accepted bribes, and twisted justice. Amaziah called Bethel “the king’s sanctuary,” showing he cared more about politics than God’s truth. This kind of leadership failed the people and led them further from God.

In short, Amos’ encounter with Amaziah shows us three big problems that needed to be condemned: idol worship, rejecting God’s message, and corrupt leadership. These sins brought God’s judgment, and the people needed to turn away from them to get back on the right path with God.

‎Matthew 17:17, where Jesus is speaking about the condition of people who are stubborn or unwilling to listen to God’s guidance. This particular incident occurred after Jesus’ transfiguration, when He came down from the mountain with Peter, James, and John. They encountered a crowd of people, including a father whose son was possessed by a demon that caused him to experience seizures and extreme suffering.

‎

‎The father had brought the boy to Jesus’ disciples, but they couldn’t heal him. So, in desperation, the father brought the child to Jesus, saying, “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers terribly. He often falls into the fire or into the water.” Jesus, frustrated by the lack of faith and understanding among the people, made the statement, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you?”

‎

‎He then healed the child, and the demon left the boy. This miracle was a demonstration of Jesus’ power and authority, showing that faith in Him and submission to God’s will are essential for healing and deliverance.

‎(i) Peace and Assurance: Submitting to God’s will brings a sense of peace and contentment, knowing that God’s plan is ultimately for their good. As Christians trust God’s wisdom and timing, they experience a deep inner peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7).

‎

‎(ii) Spiritual Growth and Transformation: When Christians align themselves with God’s will, they open themselves up to spiritual growth. Submission allows for the work of the Holy Spirit to transform them, making them more Christ-like and helping them to live according to God’s perfect plan for their lives (Romans 12:2).

‎

‎(iii) Purpose and Fulfillment: Submitting to God’s will helps Christians find their true purpose in life. By following God’s guidance, they live in alignment with His intentions, which leads to a fulfilling and meaningful life. Jesus himself said, “For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother” (Matthew 12:50), emphasizing that fulfilling God’s will gives one a deep sense of belonging and purpose.

This event is described in Luke 24:13-35. After Jesus’ resurrection, two disciples were traveling to the village of Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. As they walked, they discussed the recent events of Jesus’ crucifixion and the reports of His resurrection.

Jesus Himself approached them, but for some reason, they were kept from recognizing Him. He asked them what they were discussing, and they were surprised, as if a stranger should know nothing about the recent events. They told Him about the crucifixion of Jesus, whom they had hoped would be the redeemer of Israel. Jesus then began to explain to them, starting with Moses and all the Prophets, how the Scriptures pointed to the Messiah’s suffering and glory.

As they approached the village, Jesus acted as though He was going to continue His journey, but the two disciples urged Him to stay with them, since it was getting late. When He broke bread with them, their eyes were suddenly opened, and they recognized Him. At that moment, Jesus disappeared from their sight.

The disciples immediately returned to Jerusalem to share their encounter, and their hearts were filled with joy and wonder.

(i) Victory Over Sin and Death: The resurrection of Jesus is a powerful testament to the defeat of sin and death. Through His resurrection, Christians believe that Jesus conquered death once and for all, offering them eternal life. This victory provides hope that death is not the end, but a passage to eternal life with God (1 Corinthians 15:54-57). The resurrection assures believers that they, too, will be raised to new life if they are in Christ.

(ii) New Life in Christ: The resurrection also signifies the new life Christians receive through faith in Jesus. The Apostle Paul explains that just as Christ was raised from the dead, Christians are spiritually resurrected when they put their trust in Him, allowing them to live a transformed life, free from the power of sin (Romans 6:4). This new life empowers believers to live in the fullness of God’s grace and to walk in His purpose for them, guided by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus’ Teaching on Forgiveness (Matt. 18: 21-35):

(i) Peter wanted to know from Jesus whether he should forgive his neighbour seven times.

(ii) Jesus responded by saying seventy times seven.

(iii) Jesus then told a parable comparing the kingdom of heaven to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants.

(iv) And in the process, a servant who owed the King ten thousand talents was brought before him.

(v) Because he could not pay the money, the king ordered him to be sold with his family until the last money was paid.

(vi) The servant fell on his knees and begged the king to have patience with him and he would pay later,

(vi) Out of pity, the king released the servant and forgave him all the debt

(viii) As the servant went out, he met a fellow servant who owed him hundred denarii.

(ix) He instantly seized him by the throat demanding that he should pay what he owed him.

(x) His fellow servant begged him to have patience and that he would pay later.

(xi) But he refused and put him in prison till he paid the debt,

(xii) When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were disturbed and reported to the king.

(xiii) The king invited the first servant, whose debt he cancelled and reprimanded him.

(xiv) He said, Tie was a wicked servant and that he ought to have forgiven his fellow servant and had mercy on him as he did to him.

(xv) Out of anger, the king asked that he should be jailed until he paid the last money.

(xvi) Jesus ended by saying that anyone who did not forgive his fellow man from his heart would also not be forgiven by his heavenly Father.

(6b)

(i)Inner Peace and Healing: Forgiveness allows Christians to experience inner peace and healing, as taught in the Bible.

(ii)Reflecting God’s Character: Forgiveness is a fundamental aspect of God’s character, and when Christians forgive, they reflect God’s love and mercy to others.

The account of Gamaliel’s intervention is found in Acts 5:33-40. After the apostles, Peter and John, were arrested for preaching about Jesus’ resurrection, the Jewish authorities were furious and wanted to kill them. However, Gamaliel, a respected member of the Sanhedrin and a teacher of the law, advised caution.

He first reminded the council of past movements led by individuals who had gathered followers but had eventually failed, like Theudas and Judas the Galilean. Both of these leaders had been killed, and their movements dissolved when their followers scattered. Gamaliel reasoned that if this movement (the teachings of the apostles) was merely of human origin, it would also fail. However, if it was from God, they would not be able to stop it, and they might even find themselves opposing God.

Gamaliel’s wise and calm suggestion led the Sanhedrin to release the apostles, though they were flogged and ordered not to preach in the name of Jesus. His intervention spared the apostles’ lives and allowed the church to continue growing, and his reasoning became an important lesson in discerning the will of God.

(7b)

(i) Evangelism and Sharing the Gospel: One of the primary ways Christians can promote church growth is through evangelism—actively sharing the message of Jesus Christ with others. Whether through personal conversations, outreach programs, or public preaching, spreading the good news invites more people to become followers of Christ and join the church community.

(ii) Living Out the Faith and Being Examples: Christians promote church growth by living out their faith authentically. When believers demonstrate Christ-like love, humility, and integrity in their daily lives, they serve as a witness to the power of the gospel. This often leads others to inquire about their faith and join the church.

(iii) Building Strong, Supportive Communities: A church that fosters a welcoming, supportive, and loving community naturally attracts new members. Christians can promote growth by serving each other, encouraging spiritual growth through Bible studies, prayer groups, and mentorship, and creating a nurturing environment for both new and existing believers.

Peter’s exhortation in 1 Peter 2:9 reminds Christians of their special identity and calling in Christ. He highlights that:

(i) Christians Are a Chosen People: Christians have been chosen by God to be His special people, set apart for a divine purpose. This calling is a privilege, not because of any inherent worth, but because of God’s grace.

(ii) A Royal Priesthood: Christians are members of God’s spiritual kingdom and have access to Him as priests. They are called to offer spiritual sacrifices, live holy lives, and mediate God’s presence to the world.

(iii) A Holy Nation: Christians are a distinct group, set apart from the world to live according to God’s standards. Their lives should reflect the holiness of God, demonstrating their unique relationship with Him.

(iv) God’s Own People: Christians belong to God, and as His people, they are called to reflect His glory and proclaim His greatness. They are to live in such a way that others are drawn to God’s salvation.

(8b)

(i) Stay Rooted in the Word of God:

Christians can avoid sin by regularly reading and meditating on the Bible. The Word of God provides guidance, strength, and wisdom, helping believers recognize and resist temptation

(ii) Pray for Strength and Deliverance:

Through prayer, Christians ask for God’s strength to resist temptation. Jesus instructed His followers to pray for deliverance from evil, acknowledging their dependence on God for help in times of temptation

(iii) Surround Yourself with a Supportive Christian Community:

Fellowship with other believers provides accountability, encouragement, and support. A strong Christian community helps believers stay strong in their faith and resist temptation

In his letter, James teaches that whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it. He highlights the importance of obeying God’s law in its entirety, emphasizing that breaking even a single commandment makes a person guilty of violating the whole law. James uses the example that the same God who commands not to commit adultery also commands not to murder. In this way, disobeying any part of the law is as serious as disobeying any other part. He warns that showing partiality or discrimination against others is a sin, as it violates the royal law of loving your neighbor as yourself.

James connects the practice of impartiality with obedience to God’s law. If a person discriminates, they are failing in their duty to love others equally, thus breaking the law. He concludes by reminding Christians to act in a way that reflects God’s mercy, because mercy triumphs over judgment.

(9b)

(i) Undermines Social Unity: Discrimination divides people into groups, creating tension and conflict. This lack of unity weakens social cohesion, making it harder for society to work together toward common goals, hindering overall growth.

(ii) Limits Access to Opportunities: Discriminatory practices prevent individuals from accessing education, jobs, and leadership positions based on their abilities, rather than their background or identity. This results in a loss of potential contributions to the society, stunting its development.

(iii) Perpetuates Inequality and Injustice: Discrimination creates and maintains inequalities in society, preventing certain groups from enjoying the same rights and opportunities as others. This fosters injustice and hinders the progress of society, as a significant portion of the population is left marginalized and unable to contribute fully to societal growth.
