"Pastor Billy continues with Jesus' words to the seven churches in Asia. Popular theology is quick to suggest the false belief that Christian life is without hardship, difficulty – even sickness, or poverty. In spite of the many challenges faced by the church in Smyrna, Jesus reminds them that He knows – and urges them to remain faithful.

There are times when we might not receive the things we ask for. Life can be so hard and God might not reveal the purpose of our suffering. In this sermon, Pastor Billy echoes the words of Jesus by urging us to stay faithful. Whether it is afflictions, poverty, slander, or even demonic attacks – we are called to remain faithful. How can we remain faithful and receive the crown of life that Jesus has promised? Listen, and be blessed!"
