As we start our summer series exploring the 7 letters in the book of Revelation, we begin with John’s letter to the Church in Smyrna. A body of believers suffering persecution and poverty, a church pushed to the margins of society and seeking to hold on. The topic of persecution is not always a fun one to discuss, but one that is important for anyone seeking to remain faithful to following Jesus in a post-christian environment. What does God teach us about persecution and how can live into moments and seasons of persecution with faithfulness and joy.
