LISTEN, LEARN AND BE ENCOURAGED!

Imagine getting a letter from God telling you how much you’re going to suffer, and how rewarding it will all be!

That’s the story of the Church of Smyrna in Revelation chapter 2. God warns them about a coming tribulation (using a word that literally means “pressure from all sides”). But through their perseverance, they were assured that they would win a true and lasting victory. Pastor Randy let’s us know that we should take the example of this Church to heart. There’s no guarantee that times won’t get tough. But Jesus will be right there with us, concerned for our every ache and pain. And when it’s all over, the bad times will pale in comparison to the heavenly blessings that await!
