Dig Deeper - Revelation Chapter Five

Here are a few resources that will help you to dig deeper into Revelation chapter five:

1. An excellent message by John Piper titled, "Christ: The Lion and the Lamb" (you can either listen to the message or read the transcript - it is EXCELLENT!!!).

2. From gotquestions.org ... a solid answer to the question, "How should we understand the lion and the lamb passage?"


3. Here are two very different musical styles giving praise and worship to the Lamb:

Worthy is the Lamb by the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir 

Worthy is the Lamb (from Handel's Messiah)

How to Listen to a Sermon

Hmm...how to listen to a sermon? Just pay attention? Keep the old eyelids open? Tell your friend to jab you with his or her elbow if they see you nodding off? These are certainly important and may help. But here are some solid suggestions from the president of Wheaton College, Philip Ryken. Good stuff!

"So what is the right way to listen to a sermon? With a soul that is prepared, a mind that is alert, a Bible that is open, a heart that is receptive, and a life that is ready to spring into action."

Digging Deeper in Revelation 4 (Sunday, March 4th)

For those of you who want to dig deeper, here are some additional resources and suggestions for your study:

1. The four living creatures as they surround God's throne in heaven never cease proclaiming, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty."  Here is an excellent article that explains just what it means when we declare God to be "holy, holy, holy!"

2. Here are some rather good study notes on Revelation four from enduringword.com.

3. More info on the identity of the 24 elders mentioned in Revelation 4:4ff.

4. Read the text of Ezekiel chapter 1. Compare Ezekiel's vision of the glory of God with that of John's vision of the throne room in Revelation chapter 4.
