Discussion & Heart Check Questions
Small group discussion questions and accountability tools designed to help disciples grow in their love for God, connect with others, serve others, and share the gospel.
This Set’s Big Idea
Jesus calls His church to faithful endurance, true worship, and confident hope because the throne of heaven is occupied and the Lamb is worthy.
As you read, watch how Revelation moves from Jesus’ words to His churches, to the throne room of heaven, to the Lamb who alone is worthy, and to the assurance that God will preserve His people through judgment.
This Set’s Readings
- Revelation 3 — The Churches of Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea
- Revelation 4 — The Throne in Heaven
- Revelation 5 — The Worthy Lamb
- Revelation 6 — The Opening of the Seals
- Revelation 7 — God Preserves His People
