A practical, no-rapture, academically rigorous reading of Revelation. One day heaven and earth will be merged, and God will fully, entirely, dwell with his people.

The Suffering Church (The Church Of Smyrna 2 Of 7)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jul 15, 2025

You will notice that of the seven churches that John addressed, he gave the least amount of space to the church of Smyrna.

True gratitude transforms our lives, drawing us closer to Jesus, deepening our healing, and opening our hearts to God’s ongoing blessing and presence.

Some of us walked in today with full calendars and thin reserves. Bills on the table, worries in the heart, a sigh that sits a little too close to the surface. We could use a fresh breath of grace.
