The risen Christ has a message for you, ordinary Christian, about the goings on of this world, which will bless those who hear and do. Learn more in this sermon from Pastor Luke Herche on Revelation 1:1–3.

Part of a series on the book of Revelation.

Want to go deeper? Take some time to reflect on the sermon with the following questions:

In Revelation 1:3, blessing is found in hearing God’s voice. How does this challenge our usual idea that being blessed depends on our outward circumstances or comfort?

What voices in our culture or in your heart are currently acting like noise-canceling headphones, making it hard for you to hear and rest in God’s Word?

Jesus perfectly heard and obeyed, but took the curse of our spiritual deafness on the cross (he “freed us from our sins by his blood” [Revelation 1:5]). How does knowing he has already secured your blessed status change the way you approach God’s Word?

What is one practical way you can dampen the noise of culture and heart this week and create space to hear God’s voice? When and where will you do that?
