1. How and with whom did you share the message about the Lord who repairs, restores, and rebuilds last week?  

2. What injustice in our culture would you most like to see eradicated?  

Ask two people to read aloud Amos 5:6-15, 21-24 one after the other, preferably from different Bible versions. Then ask a third person to summarize the passage in two minutes or less.  

3. What do you learn about justice (and injustice) and the role of God’s people in pursuing it?  

4. What are the consequences for those who do not seek God and his desire for justice? 

5. What do you learn about God from this passage?  

6. What do you learn about people? 

7. How does God respond to people whose religious practices are insincere, ritualistic, and superficial, and whose hearts are not in it—whose hearts are far from God? (See Isaiah 29:13, Mark 7:6-7.

  • What does God truly desire of his followers?  

8. This passage includes several commands (see vv. 6, 14, 15). Pick one of these, and then share specifically the actions you will take this week to do what God says to do.  

9. Based on our study and discussion, complete the sentence: “I will . . .” 

10. What do you need from God to fight for justice and live righteously this week? 

For Next Week: Read and reflect on Mark 11:1-19 as we begin a new unit on the Gospel of Mark called “Everyone’s Invited.” You can also read next week’s supplemental texts as well as the Study and Application sections as part of your personal study.
