While the imagery and symbolism may seem daunting, the core message is clear and relevant for today's believers.This episode of Preaching Through Podcast explores key insights and takeaways from tackling this often misunderstood book of the Bible:Revelation is both an attractional and discipleship series, drawing in curious seekers while deepening the faith of believers. It teaches people how to read and interpret Scripture, particularly apocalyptic literature. The book presents a clear contrast and choice between following the ways of the world or remaining faithful to Christ.Preaching Revelation keeps the main thing as the main thing - preparing believers to be faithful, not just predicting future events. It stretches preachers, requiring deep study and preparation. Perhaps most importantly, Revelation helps us reimagine eternity, shifting our focus from "going to heaven" to the new heavens and new earth.Key approaches include taking a big picture view, focusing on the imagery and scenes rather than getting bogged down in details. Emphasizing that Revelation was written for us but not to us helps provide important context.While challenging, preaching through Revelation can be incredibly fruitful when done thoughtfully and aligned with church leadership. It offers a powerful opportunity to expand imaginations and challenge believers to stay faithful in difficult times.For those considering taking on this book, proper preparation and resources are crucial. But the effort is worthwhile, as Revelation's message of hope and faithfulness remains deeply relevant for the church today.Ironwood Church Revelation ResourcesSeries MessagesRevelation Series OverviewQ & A Podcast EpisodeSeries BreakdownRevelation 1 — The Alpha & The OmegaRevelation 2-3 — What Jesus Sees in His ChurchRevelation 4-5 — A Glimpse of Ultimate RealityRevelation 6-7 — How to Stand in a World Under JudgmentRevelation 9:13-21 — While You Still Have TimeRevelation 12-13 — The Cosmic & Earthly BattlesRevelation 13-14 — The Fork in the RoadRevelation 15-16 — Wrath & WorshipRevelation 17:1-19:10 — Get Out While You Still CanRevelation 19:6-20:15 — How To Be On the Right Side Of HistoryRevelation 21-22 — After the Last Tear FallsRecommended BooksBlessed: Experiencing the Promise of Revelation by Nancy GutherieEvergreenDiscover all of our free resources: https://faithfruit.us/podcast-linksAdditional questions about this topic?
