Key Truth: God will eternally preserve people from every tongue, tribe, and nation to be ministered to by Christ their loving shepherd.
Introduction:
What motivates you to share the Gospel in word and deed?
What prevents you from sharing it?
The Gathering Conquerors of the Victorious Lamb:
Revelation 7:1-17
“…according to Revelation, we have been redeemed from a culture of death by the death of the Lamb for faithfulness to death—all of which is, paradoxically, life itself. It is also victory itself. It is conquering the temptation to give up or give in, even in the face of all that the culture of death can do.”
Michael J. Gorman, Reading Revelation Responsibly:
