Smyrna: The Persecuted Church

Passage: Revelation 2:8-11 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation Summary: The fires of persecution burned hot against the believers in Smyrna. Yet, for the majority of America’s history, Christians in this nation have been insulated from much of the persecution that is normal in the rest of the world. But as our society grows more secular and the government more hostile, many predict that we will see a sea change. There is much we can learn from the example of the church in Smyrna so that we in this nation might prepare for persecution.
