Applying God’s Word through 1:10 Journey groups, family devotions, or personal meditation:
Opener
1. As a child, what were your greatest fears, and what brought you great comfort?
Recap
2. Read Revelation 1:1-3. What parts of this passage or sermon stood out to you most? What stretched you? Encouraged you?
3. What do you fear about the future? How do truths in this week’s passage address those fears?
4. What does it mean that we are kings and priests through Christ? Does this challenge the way you currently see yourself?
Digging Deeper – Read John 8:31-36.
5. What kind of slavery are Jesus’ listeners thinking of? What slavery is Jesus really talking about?
6. How does the “truth” (v 32) and the “Son” (v 36) set us free?
7. What parallels do you see between this idea and the Passover (Exodus 12:1-13)? How is our redemption through Christ like a new Passover?
Application
8. What truth from this discussion gives you the greatest comfort? How can you constantly remind yourself of that throughout this week?
9. Share something you learned from your personal Bible reading last week.
