In the second of two introductions to the book of Revelation, Pastor Luke Herche examines passages from Revelation with a focus on our hope. Addressing three questions (Why must we hope? How can we hope? And what happens when we do?), Pastor Luke shares that we can hope because Revelation reveals what is and what will be, the lamb reigns and wins, his enemies are restrained and will be judged, and his people are safe and will be raised.

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:

What are some places in your life where you need hope? What specifically is wrong in you, your circumstances, or our world?

What is our natural response to hard things? What are some ways we respond poorly to tragedy, temptation, and turmoil? Why do we respond this way?

How does the message of Revelation (as summarized in the sermon) speak into the hard things?

If you had hope in the midst of hard things, how would that shape your response and what might your new response be?

Take some time to pray that the message of this book would sink into your heart and that God would give you opportunity to share it with others.
