In this sermon excerpt, the speaker examines Amos 8:11, where God declares a coming famine not of bread or water but of hearing His words. The speaker emphasizes that the prophecy is not about a lack of religious activity or sermons, but about a spiritual starvation where people are surrounded by inspirational speeches yet lack genuine exposure to Scripture and God's voice. He stresses the prophetic relevance of this warning for contemporary believers, urging listeners to recognize the difference between hearing human‑generated religious messages and truly hearing the Lord’s word.

Chapters

Amos chapter eight, verse eleven says this: Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land—not a famine of bread nor of thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord. This warning strikes. strikes every single one of us with prophetic relevance. Amos did not say there would be a famine of religious activity. That's not what he said. I need you to listen to me clearly. He did not say that, that there will be a famine of religious activity. He didn't say that. But what he is echoing is, uh, there will be inspirational speeches or of human words about God. He declared there would be a famine of hearing the words of the Lord. In other words, it is possible to be surrounded by sermons and yet starved of scripture, saturated with messages and yet malnourished by the absence of God's voice.
