SERVICE - A Letter From Jesus on True Riches
Revelation 2:8-11
Introduction
The Christian life is not a game show, but the show “Let’s Make a Deal" illustrates what temptation is like in the world. When someone comes to Christ, they gain something of infinite value. The world doesn’t respond that way. The world pushes Jesus away and tempts us to trade something of true, lasting value for that which will not satisfy.
In a fallen world, following Jesus can be dangerous. (John 15:20) The enemy comes to you and wants you to compromise to relieve the tension that comes with temptation. He tells you that if you do what he says, the world will love you. For 2000 years, the church has faced the temptation to compromise. In this passage, Jesus celebrates a church that was faithful and willing to pay the price.
Jesus doesn’t have a correction for the church in Smyrna, but He celebrates their willingness to suffer. Connecting this idea to the message Jesus sent to Ephesus about is important. You will suffer for what you love. If we are going to face hostility and push back, how can we survive?
Sermon Outline
1. Don’t fear what you will suffer, step into it.
2. Be faithful by looking to Jesus.
Scripture References: Revelation 2:8-11
