AM Sermon, July 17, 2016
Presented by Robert Hatfield
In Rev. 2:8-11, Jesus encouraged Christians in Smyrna to be faithful so they would not be eternally condemned. He spoke of the crown of life and contrasted it with the second death. He made it clear that for Christians to give in to persecution is to forfeit the crown and to stand condemned before God. If we follow the example of the Christians in Smyrna, we will conquer condemnation.
