Bible study 2 - November 1

Today's Bible Study is on Amos 5:14-24, titled Roll Justice. Appropriate play on the word roll, as in let justice roll down, as well as a drum roll. Animated conversation with a feisty Amos teleported from the 8th century to the 21st century. Great way to tell the story. The questions for discussion: do you identify yourself as a drummer/prophet? Name 2 issues you want to drum about in your context. What can you do to drum up support for justice to roll down like waters and righteousness like an overflowing stream?

The Pacific Islands delegates are providing the music support with traditional drums.
During the feedback from group discussions, the facilitator on stage couldn't hear the feedback from the people so had to come 'among the people', which prophet 'Amos' leaped on as a key learning for a prophet - to come down from on high and be among the people.
