Series: Letters from Jesus
Speaker: Pastor Troy Nelson
Topic: Endurance, Faithfulness, Persecution
Jesus’ letter to Smyrna speaks to a church under crushing pressure—poor, slandered, persecuted—yet spiritually rich. He offers no rebuke, only encouragement: do not fear suffering. Be faithful, even unto death. The trial is limited, the victory assured, and a victor’s crown awaits those who endure through Christ who conquered death.
