In this episode of NorthWoods Church Matters, we continue our discussion on the Church of Smyrna in Revelation and Christ’s exhortation to fear not in the face of suffering. Smyrna was a persecuted church, yet Jesus encouraged them to remain faithful—even unto death. What does that mean for Christians today? Why does God allow suffering for His people? How can we endure trials with joy, as James 1 commands? What is the promise of the “Crown of Life” and what does it mean for believers? Join Matt, Bobby, and the gang, as they discuss it all.
