Why is there such hostility in this world toward Christ and His people?
1.THE CHILD: born and exalted (v 1-6).
2. THE DRAGON: defeated and expelled (v 7-10).
3. THE WOMAN: persecuted and protected (v 12-17).
Applying God’s Word through 1:10 Journey groups, family devotions, or personal meditation:

Opener
1. Which war from history is most intriguing to you?

Recap
2. Read Revelation 12. What stood out to you as refreshing, challenging, or encouraging from this week’s sermon or passage?

3. Who does the child represent? The dragon? The woman? What does the dragon do when he cannot destroy the child?

4. What are three ways God’s people overcome the dragon, and what is meant by each?

Digging Deeper – Read Ephesians 6:10-20.
5. How do the realities in Revelation 12 help you understand this passage more clearly?

6. What do we learn from this passage and Revelation 12 about our battle as believers?

7. How vital has prayer been for you in life’s battles?

Application
8. How is God calling you to “die to self-interest”? Why is this Satan’s worst nightmare?

9. How can we to respond when the devil reminds us of our inconsistencies, past failures, and unworthiness of the gospel?
