Week 3 – Dear, Church | Smyrna (Revelation 2:8-11)
In this message, you will learn the importance of discerning the work of Satan among those who claim to be of God. The church in Smyrna was known by God to be facing tribulation and persecution. They were encouraged to “fear not.” This scripture encourages us to be faithful in the face of death and receive the crown of life.

Faithful in the Face of Persecution
SCRIPTURE: Revelation 2:8-11, James 2:5; Matthew 10:28; Revelation 20:11-15 (ESV)
And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: ‘The words of the first and the last, who died and came to life.
9 “ ‘I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich) and the slander of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life. 11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers will not be hurt by the second death.’
Revelation 2:8-11 (ESV)
- God Knows your persecution
- Do Not Be Afraid of persecution
- Be Faithful through persecution
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew 10:28 (ESV)
