Amos 9:11-15 - Post Tenebras Lux

Sermon Discussion Questions 

1) James cites Amos 9:11-12 in his corroboration of Peter’s ministry experience among the Gentiles with prophetic testimony. Why do you he think he chose this passage of Scripture among all the prophetic texts that spoke of God’s future blessing / inclusion of the Gentiles? 

2) According to Amos 9:12, God’s restoration of David’s dynasty and kingdom (9:11) was in part "so that the remnant of humanity and all the nations called by my name might seek the Lord.” How are we currently seeking to actively welcome outsiders into the fold of God’s people? 

3) The Lord’s Table or Communion is the ordinance / sacrament Jesus entrusted to the church to celebrate and enjoy his incredible hospitality of grace toward us “until He comes” (1Co.11:26). How ought the regular celebration of this ritual meal shape the culture of God’s people? How do you plan to enjoy His hospitality with the saints next week, November 29th (appropriately during the Thanksgiving weekend), at the Lord's Table?
