Revelation 6:1-8
First seal (white horse) — conquest and oppressive empire
Second seal (red horse) — war and bloodshed
Third seal (black horse) — famine
Fourth seal (pale horse) — death itself
Through human chaos, the scroll is still in the hand of Jesus.
Revelation 6:9-11
Vengeance belongs to the Lord
We are promised no relief from suffering in the present life
Learn the power of prayers of lament
Revelation 6:12-17

In God’s shaking, only the right foundation stands
Prayer of examen: a form of daily spiritual reflection that involves a structured review of your day to recognize God’s presence and movement
Replay — run through your day: what made you happy, angry, anxious?
Rejoice — savor the moments of obvious and non-obvious gratitude in God.
Repent — express sorrow for the things you remember as you review the day.
Reboot — decide to live for Jesus tomorrow and ask for grace to see his presence more clearly.
Revelation 7:1-8
You may not escape suffering, but you are secure in Jesus
Revelation 7:10-17
Worship now as we will then
