Part 3 — Persecuted Not Abandoned
Scripture: Revelation 2:8-11
Last Sunday we continued in Revelation chapter 2 and studied the church of Smyrna. Smyrna was a persecuted church, but not abandoned. As the church today, persecution is indeed part of the christian life. But as God's people, we can confidently know He will never abandon us. His promises of provision and protection reign true today, and we can know His gospel message will continue to spread here and now. As we fulfill our God given purpose, we too will be persecuted - but never abandoned. We must be faithful in being the church He has called us to be.
