Sermon Outline:

Big Idea: Amidst the chaos leading to ultimate judgment, we are summoned to an unyielding faith—a faith that anchors us in the storm and emboldens us to stand with confidence in the face of the world's darkness.

1. God's wrath in its final act (1-7)
2. A paradox of evil (8-14, 16)
3. A rallying cry for believers (15)

Bible Fellowship Group Study Questions:

1. In Revelation 16:1-7, we see God pouring out His wrath through the seven bowls. How does this passage challenge our understanding of God's character and His actions?
2. The people afflicted by the plagues in Revelation 16:2-11 do not repent, even when faced with unimaginable suffering. What does this reveal about the human heart and the nature of sin?
3. The sixth bowl is poured out to prepare the way for the "kings from the east" (Revelation 16:12). What significance might this have in the context of the end times, and what do you think these kings represent?
4. Revelation 16:14 mentions unclean spirits like frogs that go to the kings of the world to assemble them for battle. How does this imagery tie into the broader theme of spiritual warfare and the battle between good and evil?
5. Revelation 16:15 issues a command and a blessing: "Behold, I am coming like a thief! Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed!" How can we practically apply this command and claim the blessing in our lives as believers today?
