Opening

What stood out to you from Sunday’s message?                                                                                                      

Summary

Read Revelation 5.1-14

The twin vision of Revelation 4-5 calls the reader to re-orient their life around the throne of God, seeing God as worthy of all honor and glory. There are many glorious powers who demand our praise and awe, but it is the surprising and sacrificial Lamb who alone is worthy to be worshipped and followed. Will our lives reflect the reality of heaven? Will we join in the song?
