CONVERSATION STARTERS
Conversation Starters help us dig deeper, connecting Sunday’s sermons with our Monday lives. These prompts have been designed to help Community Groups grow in their relationship with God, with one another, and with their neighbors. Please know that these questions are meant to be a resource to you. You do not have to follow them verbatim or get through them all. We trust you to know your group and to ask the questions based on your group needs.

1) What stood out to you from the sermon?

2) In the 1960s, the coming “Age of Aquarius” was characterized by “harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust abounding” along with “the mind's true liberation”. How does this view contrast with what John saw in his revelation of the end times?

3) How does your understanding of the Old Testament (Creation story, God’s promise of descendents to Abraham, etc.) help you understand the imagery in John’s revelation? In what ways does John’s image tie it all together?

4) The world is broken by sin and the resulting suffering seems out of control. What assurance do you get from John’s vision when you see the suffering around you or in your life?

5) What does John’s vision show you about the importance of our prayers? How are they used by God?

O For A Thousand Tongues To Sing

O for a thousand tongues to sing My great Redeemer's praise
The glories of my God and King The triumphs of His grace

My gracious Master and my God Assist me to pro - claim
To spread through all the earth abroad The honors of Thy name

Jesus the name that charms our fears That bids our sorrows cease
'Tis music in the sinner's ears 'Tis life and health and peace

He breaks the power of cancelled sin He sets the pris'ner free
His blood can make the foulest clean His blood availed for me

Glory to God and praise and love Be ever ever giv'n
By saints below and saints above The Church in earth and heav'n

Lost are saved find their way
