Enduring in the Fight [Revelation 3:7-13]


Sermon Discussion Questions
  • Where's a time or situation in your Christian walk that you felt the pressure to give up or to give in?  What made the fight so hard?
  • What's comforting about knowing that Jesus has the "key of David"?      
  • Do you remember what it means that Jesus will "keep" the church from the "hour of trial"?  Why do you suppose that Jesus doesn't just physically remove them from harm?  What does this say about what Jesus desires for the church?
  • What areas of your life are you currently facing hardship and asking yourself the questions, "Can I do this?  Do I have what it takes?"  Share as a group.
  • What can you look to in the past or present to see God's work in your life?  How does this serve as motivation and fuel to endure?  As Christians, what do all of us ultimately have that we can look to?
  • Why is God's vision for the future condition of the people so central in this passage?  What is it about this vision that gives them (and us) such hope?
