Title:

Description:

Sermon start time: 20:56. Sermon end time: 40:38.
The preacher argues that Christians tend to consider beautiful sanctuaries and music to equate to good worship, but God looks at doing justice and eliminating sin as good worship, a sacrifice acceptable to Him. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
Key quotation: “Amos’ contemporaries longed for a day of the Lord, assuming that that day would be in continuity with present arrangements. Assuming that present arrangements were God’s arrangements. That current political and social and economic configurations had been divinely ordained. No, says Amos. No. In words that shatter the presently legitimated order: No. Because on the Lord’s day, the world as you know it ends.”
