Revelation 1:1-3
Let's take just a moment and go to the Lord in prayer, and then we want to begin our study of the book of Revelation. Our Father, we thank you today for the privilege of studying together, and we thank you for this book which we study. We pray that in these weeks ahead that you will enlighten us and, Father, that you will encourage us, and Lord, that we will receive the special blessing that you promise for those who study the book of Revelation.
