Listen "Do Not Fear! The Church in Smyrna. - PDF"
Episode Synopsis
Dr. Roger L. Smith discusses the importance of anchoring oneself to truth and scripture, especially during difficult times. Choices made during hardship reveal one's true training, be it worldly or Godly. Conflicts arise when worldly training clashes with Christian hope, leading to fear and hindering faithfulness. God leads people through trials, not around them, requiring endurance. Dr. Smith emphasizes the relevance of Jesus' message to the Church in Smyrna: "Do not fear." Fear is a tool used by the enemy to deter people from following God. The church faced tribulation and poverty for their faith, choosing faithfulness over compromise. They were also facing persecutions and attacks. Dr. Smith challenges listeners to evaluate their own faith and willingness to endure hardship for Christ.
