About this episode

Bishop Shines discusses the apostate church of Smyrna and the importance of holding fast to one's faith during tribulation.

...Bishop Shines uses Revelation 2:8-11 to discuss the apostate church of Smyrna. They represent the persecuted church, yet Jesus says not to worry; He’s already there. During your tribulation, God will cause the very thing that started it to end it. Will you hold fast to your confession when you are under pressure, or will you change and begin to doubt? Additional scriptures: Genesis 31:7, Nehemiah 4:12, Revelation 13:1, John 12:42, 1 Timothy 6:12-16 This 10-week series will explore what it means to disown the name of Christ and depart from the church as God intended it to be.
