Harvest Growth Guide for October 26-31
Mike Moses
Revelation 19:1-10

1. Do you enjoy studying the book of Revelation? Or do you find it intimidating?
What do you look forward to discussing in Revelation 19-22?
 
2. Read Revelation 19:1-5
Do you struggle with Biblical passages on God’s judgment and eternal punishment? Why or why not?
Why is God’s wrath upon unrepentant sinners completely just? (Consider Romans 1:18-2:11) 
 
3. Read Revelation 19:6-8
Do you tend to live your life in light of Jesus’ return, or not?
How should the Second Coming of Jesus motivate us toward holiness?
(See 1st John 2:28-3:3, 2nd Peter 3:10-14, Ephesians 5:26-27, 1st Thessalonians 4:16-18)
  
4. Read Revelation 19:9-10
This righteous angel refuses worship, but Jesus receives worship (Revelation 5:8-14). How does this prove Jesus’ deity? What other indications of Jesus’ deity do we see in Revelation?
(For example: Revelation 3:7, 21:22-23, 22:13)  

5. Digging Deeper into Doctrine (time permitting)
How do these Scriptures further inform our understanding of the church as Christ’s bride?
John 3:29, Ephesians 5:22-32, 2nd Corinthians 11:2

Pray for one another:
That we would be ready for the return of Jesus Christ.
