to the Destination
of the Lord Jesus

18. Revelation 19:6-9
Then I heard again what sounded like the shout of a vast crowd or the roar of mighty ocean waves or the crash of loud thunder:

19. “Praise the Lord. For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns
“Praise the Lord! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns. Let us be glad and rejoice, and let us give honor to him. For the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb, and his bride has prepared herself. She has been given the finest of pure white linen to wear…”

20. …And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.” And he added, “These are true words that come from God.”

21. “Worship style has less to do with the type of songs sung and more to do with the way the Gospel is presented and experienced… Ultimately, it is not about what we prefer or don’t prefer; it’s about what opens others to the Spirit’s leading.” --Tom Bandy, Worship Ways
