Worship for July 18

Since the youth had such a powerful message on Sunday and I did not preach, I will be preaching the Amos text (7.7-17) at the 11 o'clock service. I will preach on the Luke text (10.28-42)about Mary and Martha at the 8:45.

God shows Amos a plumb line against which the people will be measured. Amos tells the people that acts of justice and mercy are more important than "proper" worship. How are we doing against God's plumb line of love?
