Call: Psalm 144 Offering: Proverbs 3:9- Scripture: Revelation 2:8-11 NASB The sermon centers on Christ's message to the church in Smyrna, emphasizing that suffering is not a sign of divine abandonment but a mark of faithful discipleship. Christ identifies Himself as the First and the Last, the One who was dead and has come to life, affirming His sovereignty over history and victory over death, which provides profound comfort to a persecuted church enduring poverty, slander, and imprisonment. Despite their material loss and external trials—particularly from those claiming to be Jews but acting as a synagogue of Satan—Christ declares them rich in Him, underscoring that true wealth is found in Christ alone. He calls them to remain faithful even unto death, promising the crown of life and assurance that the second death, eternal condemnation, will have no power over those who overcome through faith in Him. The passage calls believers to fix their eyes on Christ, the faithful High Priest who knows their struggles and sustains them by His grace, reminding them that their temporary afflictions are outweighed by the eternal glory awaiting them in Him.
