The Praise in Heaven
November 9, 2025 / Revelation 4-5
The Praise in Heaven
Sermon by Pastor Brent Snook / Nov 9, 2025
Series: The Hope of Heaven
Text: Revelation 4–5
Introduction
In Heaven, praise will remain forever:
• No more need for prayer – we’ll be in God’s presence.
• No more need for preaching – truth will be complete.
• But praise will continue for all eternity.
Our goal now: prepare ourselves to worship in Heaven.
I. The Person on the Throne — Revelation 4:2–3
“Throne” = God’s sovereignty, authority, and control (mentioned 46 times in Revelation).
Even when life seems out of control—God reigns:
• Personal struggles (family, health, finances).
• World crises (wars, disease, nations in turmoil).
Two types of stone mentioned to represent the Throne:
• Jasper (clear as crystal): His and all-consuming .
• Sardine stone (red): The work of Christ; the blood sacrifice
Describing God is like describing the wind—you can’t see Him, but you see His impact.
II. The People Around the Throne — Revelation 4:4, 9–11
• 24 Elders: Represent all the redeemed—12 tribes (O.T.) + 12 apostles (N.T.).
• 4 Living Creatures: Angelic beings full of discernment.
Their example: continual worship and casting crowns before God.
Our goal on earth: to begin worshipping like Heaven’s saints.
III. The Praise Unto the Throne — Revelation 4:9–11; 5:9–14
Angels and saints together worship the Lamb in a crescendo of worship:
• Revelation 1:6 – Twofold: glory and dominion.
• Revelation 4:11 – Threefold: glory, honor, power.
• Revelation 5:13 – Fourfold: blessing, honor, glory, power.
• Revelation 7:12 – Sevenfold: blessing, glory, wisdom, thanksgiving, honor, power, might.
Several reasons why Jesus is worthy:
1. Because of – He made all things (Rev. 4:11).
2. Because of the – He has prevailed (Rev. 5:5).
3. Because of – He redeemed us with His blood (Rev. 5:9).
“You’re mine because I made you, and you’re mine because I bought you.”
IV. Four Things I Can Learn About Worship
1. Worship is about the – God is the center of it all. True worship focuses on who He is and what He’s done.
2. Worship is about – Fix your eyes on Heaven. (Colossians 3:1–3)
3. Worship is about the – Present troubles prepare eternal glory. (2 Corinthians 4:16–18)
4. Worship is about – We worship together as the body of Christ. (Revelation 5:11–12; 19:6)
Conclusion
Psalm 16:11 – “In Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”
“When we’ve been there ten thousand years… we’ve no less days to sing God’s praise than when we first begun.”
