Transformative Truth:
Don’t be afraid of what you’ll suffer as a Christian.
The Addressee of the Letter Revelation 2:8a
The Attributes of the Lord Revelation 2:8b
The Address to the Church Revelation 2:9-10
The Appeal to Each Person Revelation 2:11
“Whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? For what can a man give in return for his soul?” - Jesus Christ (Mark 8:35-37)
It is possible to be a good church!
A church that pleases Jesus will not be exempt from suffering.
Jesus is worth dying for.
