A Word from Pastor Ron
This time of the year is extremely busy with end of school year activities, graduation, and parties. As summer approaches, plans are made to go on vacation and enjoy the warm weather.
In Amos 8:1-2, the prophet reveals a vision that God had clearly given him. Although the major application of these verses refer to the nation of Israel and the fact that the Lord is going to take His hand of blessing from them, I believe there is a secondary lesson for the church today.
Here is what we can understand from the prophet’s words:
1) He has a vision from the Lord that if the people have no vision, they perish!
2) Amos’ vision was a basket of summer fruit that would only be available for a short time.
3) There was impending doom to the children of Israel as God was going to bring judgement upon them.
How long will the Lord give the church today to finish harvesting this fruit?
What does this have to do with us? This season of summer, which will be filled with trips, fun, VBS, camps, etc, will also give us an opportunity to enjoy “Summer Fruit”.
Do you have a Vision and a Plan for the Lord to use you and your church this summer?
For more details, contact me and I will be happy to share with you more opportunities that we can possibly accomplish this summer!
