Small Group Notes

Small Group Notes for 18th January 2026

N.B. Sermon can be heard via our website and YouTube channel and the Paper Service version is on our website.

Read and Reflect: Revelation 6-7

Questions:

  1. Chapter six and seven show that the church is not immune to the realities of evil but that it has a different destiny.
    1. How does our permanent destiny inspire us in the challenges and opportunities of temporary life?
  2. The ‘chosen’ of God are ‘sealed’, marked to make clear to whim they belong.
    1. How reassuring is this, that God knows your name?
  3. The Living Creatures – representative of all creation, and the ‘souls of the slain’ cry out for Jesus to come. We echo this in our given prayer – ‘Your kingdom come; your will be done…’
    1. How much is this our prayer today, or are we more dominated by investment in, and hanging on to, the immediate and temporary?
  4. The awful imagery of the suffering upon the earth bluntly tells the story of sinful humanity and the impact upon all creation. In our society and at times in the church make light of much sin, as though it doesn’t hurt anyone.
    1. How serious is sin? (See Galatians 5:19-21)
    2. How can we encourage each other into holiness? (See Hebrews 10:24-25 and Galatians 5:19-26)
    3. How might we speak to those about sin outside the church?
