Sermon Series: A Preview of Heavenly Worship:
Sermon Title: Worship Around the Lamb
Sermon Text: Revelation 5:1-7
Sermon Purpose: To call the hearer to worship Jesus Christ in light of His qualifications to be worshipped.
Sermon Proposition: There are 3 reasons why Jesus the Lamb of God is worthy of eternal worship.

1 And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals. 2 Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?" 3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it. 4 So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it. 5 But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals. 6 And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne. Revelation 5:1-7 (NKJV)
