26.14 The King is Coming - The Revelation of Jesus Christ - The Church in Smyrna (Part 4)

As the Smiths finish their study on Christ's words to the church in Smyrna, they continue their review of the poverty Jesus said was evident in this church.  In human terms, they were poor, yet, Jesus said, in Him, they were rich beyond imagination!  And that truth is for us as well in today's culture.  We are blessed beyond measure.  Craig continues his reminder from Christ's birth how He became poor for us so we could become rich in Him.  From there, the Smiths review how a faithful God has blessed them all throughout their married life and ministry, even though their major life-threatening auto accident changed their ability to "bring in the income" to support their new work.  The reason for God's faithfulness was, even when they had very little income, they were faithful to tithe to their local church and support even beyond that basic giving, other ministries that needed support.  You'll be encouraged by the stories of God's faithfulness that both LaDonna and Craig share.  From there, the Smith's close out this series by sharing from their understanding of God in the suffering of His people.  It's a powerful conclusion to their series on this one church, Smyrna, that was included in the whole counsel of God through His Holy Word!  Be sure to join us next week as they start another series on the next church in the lineup in their in-depth study on end times and the Book of Revelation.  Thanks again for joining the Smiths in this extended journey in the Word of God!
