Continuing our Bookends series, Pastor Noah teaches from Revelation 2v8-11. It's notable how the church of Smyrna does not receive a rebuke, but instead, Jesus commends them.

What do you need most when you are facing tremendous pressure? Remedies providing temporary relief abound; this passage reminds us that true endurance and ultimate joy are found through and in Jesus Christ.
