Let’s listen to what the Lord Himself says about that church, and what lessons we can take home for our own churches.

Izmir is a city in present-day Turkey. But 2,000 years ago, that city was called Smyrna. It was one of the seven churches Jesus spoke of in the book of Revelation. Jesus tells the church at Smyrna, “I know your afflictions and your poverty, yet you are rich!” These are words we must heed in our day of affluence and ease.

Ancient Ephesus was a seaport in what is now modern Turkey. Known for its great temple to the pagan goddess Artemis, Ephesus was the location of a church founded by the Apostle Paul. In Revelation 2, we find a message to the Ephesians from Jesus Himself — a message with lasting implications.

While in exile on the Isle of Patmos, the Apostle John was given a preview of the future — a glimpse ahead — and it became known as the Book of Revelation. In it we learn that Jesus will one day return to Earth in power and glory. We also find words from Jesus to seven churches of the First Century.

Sooner or later, the government will tell us to do something that as Christians, we can’t do. Or they’ll prohibit us from doing things we must do. While we have a clear obligation to both church and state, how do we handle the conflicts that inevitably arise? Today we’ll reveal some light for the dark days that may be ahead.

When Christians stand for truth in a pluralistic culture, conflict is inevitable. Increasingly, that conflict is with our own government. Today, Dr. Erwin Lutzer begins a series on "Christians in Conflict," and how we should live in view of these ever-growing conflicts.

Why is it that so many kids who go to church, Sunday schools, camps, Christian schools, and pray the “right prayers” still walk away from their faith? Pastor Lutzer suggests that they may have never really been converted by God. Perhaps part of the reason why this happens lies in the fact that parents, and even some churches, have an inadequate view of conversion.

We are all conditioned to expect instant gratification. We have pills for pain, and fast food for hunger. Waiting for any reason seems unreasonable; after all, there is too much to do. Many would find the words of King David in Psalm 37 out of sync with the hectic pace of today’s world: “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently before Him.” Let’s learn some lessons from a great king, and remember who’s really in charge of our lives.

No psychiatrist’s couch can set us free from the inner turmoil of sin. When we violate God’s commands, the only thing that can relieve the distress is the knowledge that we have been forgiven.

Today, we will walk with David down the path toward renewed fellowship with God.
