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.
