In our own homes – Let us return to the Lord and hear His Word of salvation.

Learning From God's Word

‘The Lord roars.’ ‘The Lord thunders’ (Amos 1:2).

We thank You, Lord, that Your Word comes to us from above – ‘The Lord will roar from on high.’ You speak to us from heaven – ‘He will thunder from His holy dwelling.’ We dare not ignore Your Word.

Disaster is spreading from nation to nation; a mighty storm is rising from the ends of the earth.’ You’re speaking to us about Your ‘fierce anger.’ You’re calling us to turn from our sin.
