Opening Prayer Prompts For Group:
P-Praise God that he is active to remove what is evil to restore what is good.
R- Repent by confessing where Babylon’s values have shaped your heart: security in money, cultural approval, and comfort in compromise over faithfulness.
A-Ask for wisdom to recognize spiritual seduction in everyday life -at work, online, in entertainment, and in ambitions.
Y-Yield by inviting God to reshape your desires so you long more for the marriage feast of the Lamb than the comforts of Babylon.
Ice Breaker: If you could instantly see the behind-the-scenes reality of any one thing in the world, what would you choose — and why?
The Sermon Setup: Revelation 17-19:10
What stands out to you most about the description of Babylon in chapter 17?
What kinds of people mourn Babylon’s fall in chapter 18? Why are they grieving?
What does that reveal about how we should grieve the injustices in our nation—even as others grieve the loss of those very injustices?
- Why is God’s judgment portrayed as something worthy of worship and hallelujahs in heaven?
Going Deeper
Where do you see “Babylon-like” influences today in systems or values that compete for our loyalty to Jesus? Where do we see this specifically with economic injustices?
Read Revelation 18:4. What might it look like practically to “come out of Babylon” while still living and working in our culture?
Where is an area where comfort, success, politics, status, or consumption subtly shapes your identity more than Christ? How can you step out of that?
Because God is loving and good, He will hold Babylon accountable. How can we find hope in knowing that the “Babylons” and empires/nations of history will not ultimately last?
