It can be difficult to stand alone when persecution comes.   From His message to the church of Pergamos, Christ with His double-edged sword speaks a warning to those who ally themselves with teachers of false gospels.  Jesus Christ as revealed by the Bible is our Faithful King and True Judge.  Follow close to Him.  And He alone will provide what we need when we must stand alone.

We began a series from Revelation to hear from the eternal God His message to His churches through the messages given to seven churches in the Roman province of Asia.  Churches are not buildings but people – people who have His Holy Spirit within them, bonded together by His Spirit.  Thus we each profit from responding rightly to His Word in order for His church to profit from responding rightly to His Word.
From His message to the church of Smyrna, we hear the eternal Christ speak affirmation to His beleaguered little church that their may be trouble ahead, but it has purpose and their faithfulness will be rewarded.   His Spirit will aid them through their fiery trial.
