Small Group Notes for 12th October 2025
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 2:8-11 & John 1:43-51
Questions:
The church in Smyrna faced great suffering. Notice again how the author of the letter is described and read Psalm 144 – notice especially verses 1, 2 and 15.
- What confidence can the nature of God and Christ give us for this week for the challenges, obstacles, and difficulties we face?
- What perspective does the nature of God give us on the issues facing the world and how does it lead us to pray? (see also 1 Timothy 2:1-4)
- What perspective does it give us on the church and our local church, and how does it cause us to pray? (See also Ephesians 6:18-20)
- We are promised a way out, a victor’s crown and eternal life – how real and inspirational are these to us?
- How can we become more heavenly focussed (without losing our responsibility to life today)? (see Hebrews 11:13-16)
