Chaos of History (Revelation 6)

Loving Jesus

1.    The sixth seal describes a terrifying scene of God’s judgment. How does this picture of God’s holiness and the coming judgment influence your understanding of His grace and mercy? How might this help you respond to these visible and reoccurring judgments with repentance?

Loving His People   

2.    How often do you consider that those in this group are your fellow witnesses? How does this identity give shape and motivation to our ministry to one another?

Loving His World

3.    In what ways have you found yourself numbing or disengaging from the pain and turmoil of those around you?

4.    How can we guard against becoming detached "spectators" of the world’s suffering, much like the example of picnicking at a battle?
