Topic: Is Your Church like the Church of Smyrna.  We are to look at ourselves as a congregational whole and see where we fit.  Are we like this Church that is spoken of by the angels – or do we require some work in certain areas to improve our church.

This message was taken from the context of Revelations 2: 8-11.

Revelation 2:8-11 King James Version (KJV)

8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;

9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.
