Smyrna: The Persecuted Church

Smyrna: The Persecuted Church

May 02, 2021

Passage: Revelation 2:8-11

Preacher: Bishop Jayson Quiñones

Series: Revelation

Summary:

NO ONE wants to suffer…NO ONE wants hardship…NO ONE wants to grind, but EVERYONE wants success. EVERYONE wants acknowledgment…EVERYONE wants a reward (be it temporal or eternal). The fact is, NO CROSS, NO CROWN…NO SUFFERING, NO GLORY…NO WORK, NO REWARD…at least not in God’s kingdom.

Detail:

Sermon Points

  1. Jesus sees differently, and offers us the correct perspective: (vv.8-9)
  2. Jesus knows what the future holds—even the evil: (v.10a, b)
  3. Jesus encourages faithfulness with promises of reward: (vv.10c-11)

Suffering, testing, or tribulation do not indicate sin, but may point to faithfulness

Closing Thoughts...

What is your Christianity costing you? Are you ready to be faithful until death?
