Shining Lights - The Church of Smyrna

Pastor Chris Ansell of Restoration Community Church continues our sermon series looking at the letters from Jesus to the 7 churches in Revelation. This week we look at his statements to the church of Smyrna. The Christians in this city continued to hold fast to the faith in light of intense persecution. While martyrdom is not something a 21st century American regularly would face, can we learn from their faith as it pertains to suffering and slander in our lives?

Passages: Revelation 2:8-11; Daniel 1:12-14; Revelation 5:5-6
