The Suffering Church Part 1

About this episode

The episode discusses the encouragement found in Revelation for those facing trials and suffering, particularly focusing on the church in Smyrna.

Have you ever been through a trial or period of discouragement, and then you received a note or message from a friend that really ministered to you? It’s always encouraging to know that a friend is thinking about us, isn’t it, especially at a time like that! That’s exactly what the Lord did for the church in Smyrna in the second chapter of Revelation. Smyrna was suffering persecution for their faith, and also tribulation and poverty. This little passage of just four verses is a reminder to stay faithful, and that the Lord understands what we’re going through. If you’re going through similar problems in your life today, allow this to encourage you, and join us for this uplifting message from Revelation chapter two, verses eight through eleven.
