Where is it written?
Read Revelation 5
- What did John hear - then what did John see?
- How was what he saw different from what he might have expected?
- Why is the Lamb uniquely worthy to open the scroll?
- What did the Lamb's death accomplish? (See verses 9 & 10)
- How do the living creatures, the angels, then all creatures do in response to the Lamb?
How goes your walk?
- How does Jesus' sacrifice cause you to think differently about "greatness?"
- How do you worship Jesus in this COVID time?
- What holds you back from worshipping more?
