The Lion and The Lamb; Revelation 2:12-17
Aug 2, 2026 • Pastor Keith Gardner
John has spoken directly to two of the seven churches thus far, the church of Ephesus and the church of Smyrna. At Ephesus they were commended for their doctrine but rebuked for their lack of love toward The Lord. Smyrna was identified as the suffering church, receiving no corrections from The Lord, only encouragement in The Lord, to carry on in the face of the coming persecution headed their way.
