There have been two super helpful resources I’ve been using for this teaching series. The first is Revelation: Four Views–A Parallel Commentary by Steve Gregg. What I love about this one is that it takes each passage of Revelation and presents the four classic interpretations (historicist, preterist, futurist, spiritual) in parallel columns). A word of warning, though: as I learned last week, trying to present all four interpretations in a teaching time is overwhelming. This week, I tried to just cover the two I thought were most relevant for our discussion.
The second is the volume on Revelation in the Christ Centered Exposition series. I can’t say enough good things about this commentary. It is thorough, well-written, inexpensive, and practical. If you are using The Gospel Project or a similar curriculum that shows how all Scripture points to Jesus, you won’t find a better resource.
How the Gospel is revealed in the Passover Seder

Just to give you some context, I preached this after the platform of our sanctuary had already been converted into the set for our Easter production. It was the perfect opportunity to link the story of the Passover to the Passover meal Jesus shared with his disciples. I toyed with the idea of preaching the entire message from the “Upper Room” that was constructed as part of the set. But I was afraid the people on the front row would get cricks in their neck from looking up there the whole time!
In the sermon, I explained the elements that are on the Passover Seder Plate. Here is a great diagram that explains each one.
I had found an interpretation of the egg that connected it to the hardness of Pharaoh’s heart, instead of the new life after Egypt, so my explanation was a little different from this diagram.
(For what its worth, last week I ordered a Seder plate from an online Judaica store, but it didn’t arrive on time. Keep in mind, it took the Israelites forty years to get to the Promised Land, so I guess it was unrealistic to expect two day shipping).
There are many great resources for explaining the Seder from a Christian perspective. The most helpful to me as I was preparing this message was this pamphlet from Rose Publishing. You can click on the image if you’d like to order one from Christianbook.com.
Is our Christian life a team sport or an individual pursuit? Paul’s answer to the Philippians: yes.

We ended our time of study with a time of worship. While a video of Kari Jobe’s Revelation Song played, we read and prayed aloud the five songs of Revelation 4-5. Because of copyright restrictions, I didn’t put the song in the video. But you can watch the video here as you meditate on Revelation 4-5. Blessings!
The church at Laodicea was the worst. But sadly, it is also the most recognizable.
