Discussion Questions
1. Read Revelation 1:1-3 and your notes from the message. What one thing stood out most to you? What stretched you? Encouraged you?
2. Choose one word or phrase from the passage itself. How can that one word/phrase change your perspective and create more hope-filled anticipation in your life?
3. Many people are surprised that the promise of verse 3 is to BLESS everyday followers of Jesus as they read, hear, and follow its teachings. The word bless includes the idea of joy and happiness from the goodness of God. How does this contrast from ways that the Book of Revelation is sometimes taught? How is this an encouragement to believers who are undergoing trials and/or hostility to their faith?
4. As we seek to love our neighbors and share the good news, how can a sense of urgency and hope motivate us to be more passionate about showing and sharing our faith?
5. Read 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10. List at least 5 similar traits to what we see embedded in Revelation 1:1-3 and the message. How does the example of this church and the early Christians inspire or challenge you?
6. What one word is your takeaway for the week ahead? Why?
