Letter to the Church in Smyrna

Series: Revelation

Speaker: Jason Williams

In the sermon this past Sunday, we looked at the letter that Jesus wrote to the church in Smyrna. While acknowledging the very real suffering that they were facing, Jesus gave them courage by reminding the believers in Smyrna that He is the first and the last, the one who died and came to life.  Because of this, believers can face involuntary suffering and voluntary sacrifice with joy and courage.  Even though we may not be able to completely rid ourselves of fear, when we see Jesus as the Creator, Sustainer of the Universe, and the One who Conquered Death, we can submit our fears to Him and find courage to remain faithful.
