We’re in the middle of a study of Revelation here on His Perfect Love. Today’s message from pastor Matt VanderVen is centered on the Lord’s message to the church in Smyrna, found in Revelation chapter two. Pain is never fun to experience or even talk about, but pain is inevitable. The church in Smyrna was suffering a barrage of persecution and tribulation, yet the Lord reminds them not to be fearful but rather be faithful. That’s an important point for Christians today as well.
