    Church of Smyrna

    NO PAIN, NO GAIN (REVELATION 2:8-11) A farmer said to God, “For 50 years I have not stopped praying…” The Lord replied, “5o years you have been praying, what did you actually pray for?” The farmer said, “I always pray that the winds and rains be smooth, pray that there would be no rain or wind ...read more

    This sermon explores the meaning of Christ's sacrifice, the grace that comes through suffering, and the comfort of God's eternal embrace.

    Good morning, my dear friends. Today, we gather here with hearts full of hope. Hearts full of faith. Hearts ready to listen. To learn. To love. We turn to the book of Hebrews, chapter 10, verse 5. The words ring clear. They ring true. "Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: 'Sacrifice ...read more

    Authentic Versus Counterfeit Faith (Ii) Series

    This message examines the qualities of saving faith as revealed in Romans 4:18-22. In this chapter, Paul uses Abraham's example to teach the kind of faith response to God that ultimately leads to eternal salvation. Hint: It is not easy believism.

    Intro A major theme in Romans 4 is faith. Paul is aggressively contending for justification by faith alone. The issue we are currently addressing is the kind of faith Paul has in mind when he uses the word. We know from James 2 that some forms of faith are dead and worthless. We know from Jesus’s ...read more

    If the life of a Christian is to be pleasing to God it must be properly adjusted to him in all things. Based on the book by Watch Nee over the book of Ephesians.

    SIT, WALK, STAND by Watchman Nee INTRODUCTION: If the life of a Christian is to be pleasing to God it must be properly adjusted to him in all things. Too often we place the emphasis in our own lives upon the application of this principle to some single detail of our behavior or of our work for ...read more

    Re-Discovering The Resurrection

     | 2,725 views

    Emotions ran high for those who witnessed the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. How those emotions changed and what changed them made the difference between faith and disbelief.

    For many of us, when I say the word "Easter" or "Resurrection Sunday" or even "Third Day" it brings things to mind. If you are a Christian you may think of the empty tomb, or of the angels and Jesus’ visit to the disciples. If you are not a Christian you might think of the Easter Bunny or "maybe I ...read more

    He Calls You By Name

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 30, 2025
     | 189 views

    John’s resurrection account reveals a quiet but profound truth: belonging comes before understanding. This message invites weary believers to release the pressure to prove their faith and rediscover a resurrection life rooted in being known, named, and kept—while still on the road.

    Introduction John tells us that Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark. That detail matters. Not because it is poetic, but because it is honest. This is not the hour of confidence or clarity. This is the hour when grief wakes before reason does. The hour when the body ...read more

    This sermon is my first funeral sermon in the learning process. It is about the death of Christ bringing about an end to the fear of death.

    The End of Death There is a fear that is imbedded in our human nature. It exists regardless of wealth, culture, or ethnicity. It is the fear is fear driven by the unknown. It is the fear of death. It is a spiritual fear. One that consumes our minds with thoughts of what ifs. It causes us ...read more

    This sermon illustraites that God is Big Enough to handle all our pain; all our sorrow; all our brudens!

    In the book The Shack, by William P. Young, (a book I highly recommend reading) (especially if you have ever been angry with God over a hurt, or loss) a conversation takes place between the central character of “Mack” and Jesus… Jesus asks Mack “do you think humans are ...read more
