Episode Synopsis

This week we look at the church in Smyrna. The suffering and poverty experienced by the church in Smyrna didn’t make them bitter but produced in them a richness that preserved their faith. Their testimony went up to God as incense of worship and scented the environment around them that was visible to the world. We draw some lessons from this suffering church.
