July 27, 2022 Crown of Life, Endurance, Persecuted Church, Perseverance, Rev 2:8-11, Smyrna, Suffering Church

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. Known as the “persecuted” church, this church is one of two in this series which did not receive a rebuke from the Lord. The guys will discuss the significance of “the crown of life” in this passage. 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!
