“Christs Message to the Church in Smyrna” is a sobering, eye-opening message for the Church today. In this classic teaching, Rick Renner shares encouraging Bible truths against the backdrop of intense suffering by believers in Early Church history — with application for our lives today.
Among the seven churches addressed by Jesus in the book of Revelation, the congregation in Smyrna suffered the worst. Jesus was intentional about letting the Smyrnaean believers know He was standing by them. He wanted them to know that nothing would prevent His eternal plans for His people from coming to pass, nor would anything remove His eternal rewards from their grasp.
As you walk with the Lord, He is speaking these same encouraging words to you. These teachings will bolster your stand for Christ, strengthen your devotion to Him, and eradicate the fear of death from your life!

The apostle Paul told us to “rejoice always.” But what does that really mean? Is it even possible to rejoice always? Many people rejoice when they’re happy — when things are going well — but when things go wrong, that’s when it gets a little harder to find that place of joy. Paul was someone who encountered many difficult situations in his life: he was beaten, he was left for dead, and he spent three days and nights “in the deep.” How did he get through that?
In this four-part series, Denise explores the many reasons we as Christians have to rejoice, the life-changing effects of joy, and how to access and activate the power of God’s joy inside us.
The four lessons in this study, REJOICE! — How To Choose Joy Even in Hard Times, will focus on the following topics:
