"Revelation - The Letter From Jesus" - Tim Richards - Week 3 Dungeness Community Church
-
- Christianity
Pastor Tim Richards brings Part 3 in a series on the book of Revelation. This week we look at Revelation 13:1-18 & 18:1-24.
Sermon Questions:
1. What did you think of the story about Nabeel and his dream?
2. Have you ever encountered interpretations of the prophecies in Revelation that struck you as crazy? What were they? Why do you think they were in error?
3. What kind of “marks” does the world try to stamp on us? In other words, where does our society push values and identities that are at odds with loyalty and allegiance to Jesus? Which of those identities do you find yourself tempted to adopt?
4. In the Old Testament the prophet Jeremiah wrote a letter to people who had been taken captive and became exiles in Babylon. Part of his message was “…seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare" (Jeremiah 29:7). As followers of Jesus, we too are spiritual exiles in this world. What does it mean for us to avoid becoming compromised citizens of Babylon and yet still be people who pray and work for the good of the “Babylon” in which we live?
