K1 What did God say to you through today’s teaching?

Grow
G1 7:9 | Think about how disunited our world is, or even our churches. How does the vision of a united international church strike you?
G2 Someone asks you to explain what heaven is. What do you say?
G3 Today is All Saints Day. How does the popular understanding of a saint differ from a Biblical saint?
G4 7:11-12 | What grabs you most about the scene in Revelation 7: the saints before the throne? God on the throne? The angels around the throne? The Lamb in the centre of the throne? What does the throne being the focal point communicate to you as you live your life?
G5 7:17 | Jesus is both shepherd and the Lamb. How are these both important aspects to Jesus’ character and calling?
G6 Luke 17:20-21 | Dan talked about how the heavens and earth are dimensions that are closer than we think (even overlap) rather than two geographic locations far away from each other (also see https://bibleproject.com/explore/video/heaven-and-earth/). How does this understanding of “heaven and earth” affect how we live now and where we will live when we die?

S1 7:11-12 | When you’re on your own, speak out the 7-fold blessing to God (“Amen! PRAISE and GLORY and WISDOM and THANKS and HONOUR and POWER and STRENGTH be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!”). Say it 10 times over and see how it affects your emotional / mental state.
