An Everlasting Song (2025-08-17, David Camera, Revelation 5)

A sermon on the heavenly song(s) around the throne of the Father and the Son in heaven by Rev. Dr. David Camera Application questions: Why do/should Christians sing together? Brainstorm a list of reasons.  You have heard of the phrase, “He/she sings your praises.” Why do people praise? What does praise reveal about us?  Look at the 3 verses of this heavenly song. Who is the subject? Why is the Lamb praised?  Who is the subject of praise in 4:11? Now compare 4:11 with 5:12 and 5:13. What is surprising/amazing about who is praised and how they are praised in these verses?  What can we conclude about the Lamb?  Is verse 13 past, present or future? Who is singing in this verse?  If the endgame of the universe is the uniting of heaven’s praise with all creation, what role does singing in the present play?  Why is it important that the content of our songs be biblical?  What impact does singing have on us?  What are some of your favorite Christian songs and why?  Try listening to Christian songs every day this week and see how they impact you.  Find out more at www.riveroakschurch.com.
