Revelation

Revelation is a journey through one of the Bible's most fascinating and hope-filled books. Written to encourage churches facing pressure, persecution, and false teaching, Revelation uses vivid imagery and powerful symbolism to reveal a greater reality: Jesus is victorious, He reigns above every power, and He will make all things new.

Throughout this series, we'll explore the major themes and images of Revelation, grow in biblical understanding, and be encouraged to remain faithful in our own day.

Study Questions

Scripture Reading

  • Revelation 1

Questions

  1. What has been your experience with the book of Revelation?
    Before this message, did you tend to be more of a speculator, a sceptic, or someone who mostly avoided the book? Why do you think that has been your experience?
  2. How does seeing Revelation as "the revelation of Jesus Christ" change the way we should read the book?
    What stood out to you about the four principles for reading Revelation (symbolism, past/present/future, God's victory, and Jesus at the centre)?
  3. John's vision of Jesus is powerful, majestic and victorious (Rev. 1:12–18).
    Which aspect of Jesus' description or declaration ("Do not be afraid," "I am the First and the Last," "I am the Living One") encouraged or challenged you the most? Why?
  4. The sermon highlighted two big truths: Jesus is with us, and Jesus is victorious.
    Which of these truths do you need to hold onto most in this season of your life? Can you share a situation where you need to trust Jesus' presence or His victory?
  5. The key application question was: "How can I become a better follower of Jesus today by reading this book?"
    What's one practical step you can take this week to live more confidently as someone who knows Jesus is with you and has already won the victory?

Scripture Reading

  • Revelation 2-3

Questions

  1. As you looked at the seven churches, was there one church that stood out to you the most? Why do you think its message resonated with you?
  2. Jesus both encouraged and challenged each church. Why do you think it's important that He does both? How have you experienced His encouragement and correction in your own walk with Him?
  3. Five of the seven churches were called to repent. What does genuine repentance look like in everyday life, and why do you think it's so central to following Jesus?
  4. If Jesus were to write you a personal letter today, what do you think He might commend you for? Where might He lovingly challenge you to grow or change?
  5. The big theme of the message was that 'Jesus loves, leads, and sustains His church.' What is one practical step you can take this week to listen more closely to Jesus and respond obediently to His leading?

Scripture Reading

  • Revelation 4-5

Questions

  1. 1. What stands out to you most about the picture of God’s throne room in Revelation 4? 
    What do you think John is trying to help us feel or understand about God through this vision? 

    1. 2. The sermon describes God’s presence as an “unseen reality” that is here and now.  
      How might our lives look different if we genuinely lived with an awareness that God is present with us right now?

    1. 3. The elders lay their crowns before God and worship Him because He is worthy. 
      What are some things that compete for the “throne” of our lives? What might it look like to consciously put God back at the centre?

    1. 4. John hears about the Lion of Judah but then sees a Lamb who has been slain.  
      What does this picture teach us about the way Jesus brings victory? How is Jesus’ kind of victory different from the way our world often understands power and success? 

    1. 5. The worship in Revelation 5 praises Jesus as Saviour, King and God.  
      Which of these three descriptions of Jesus do you most need to be reminded of at the moment—and why?

    1. 6. The sermon asks, “Where do we need a reminder that He is on the throne?”  
      Is there a situation in your life right now where you need to trust God’s sovereignty rather than allowing your circumstances to dictate your perspective? What would it look like to respond with worship and trust?

Scripture Reading

  • Revelation 6-7

Questions

  1. What stood out to you most from Revelation 6–7 or from the sermon, and why? Was there an image, idea or statement that challenged, encouraged or unsettled you? 

  2. The sermon described “healthy fear” as recognising that we cannot save ourselves and need to depend on Jesus. What do you think healthy fear of God looks like in everyday life? 

  3. The four horsemen reveal realities such as war, famine, disease, suffering and death. Where do you see evidence today that humanity still struggles with these same realities? How should this shape the way we live as followers of Jesus? 

  4. Revelation 6:9–11 describes Christians who suffered and cried, “How long?” Have you ever experienced a season where God seemed silent, unfair circumstances continued, or you had to sit with the unknown? What helped you keep trusting God? 

  5. Revelation 7 reminds us that God is sovereign and that we belong to Him. What are some things you are tempted to fear at the moment, and how might knowing that you are secure in God change the way you respond to those fears? 

  6. The sermon concludes with the picture of the Lamb as our Shepherd, leading us to living water and wiping away every tear. What is one practical way you could choose greater trust and dependence on Jesus this week rather than fear or self-reliance? 

Scripture Reading

  • Revelation 8-11

Questions

  1. Revelation uses intense imagery of judgement and destruction. What stood out or challenged you most from Revelation 8–11, and why?
  2. The message highlights that the trumpet judgements echo the plagues in Exodus. What does this connection tell us about God’s character and his faithfulness?
  3. Revelation 9:20–21 describes people witnessing these events but still refusing to repent. Why do you think people can sometimes recognize God’s work yet remain stubborn toward Him? Are there areas where we can do the same?
  4. The seventh trumpet announces, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah.” What does it mean for you personally that Jesus is ultimately King and that God will make all things right?
  5. The talk gives three responses: heed the warning, check our hearts and repent, and worship King Jesus. Which of these do you most need to respond to right now, and what could that look like this week?
