Easter Sunday - The Lion, the Lamb, and the World
April 12, 2026
Sermon Title: The Lion, the Lamb, and the World
Scripture: Revelation 5:1-14
In Revelation 5 we see one of the most powerful worship scenes in Scripture. When no one is found worthy to open God’s scroll, Jesus appears as both the conquering Lion and the slain Lamb. This message explores why Jesus alone is worthy of our worship because He is Lord of history, Lord of victory, and Lord of glory. You will be encouraged to see that the world is not spinning out of control, but securely held in Christ’s hands. This sermon calls us to respond the same way heaven does — with trust, surrender, and wholehearted worship of the Lamb who reigns forever.
