Welcome to Grace in Focus radio. Bob Wilkin and David Renfro are in a series covering the seven churches of Revelation (chapters 2-3). Today, they will be unpacking the second church in this series, the church at Smyrna.

We will also hear about a figure of speech found in this passage known as a “litotes.” You won’t want to miss the discussion!
