Sunday Focus – Being Martyrs for Jesus
February 1, 2026
Sermon Title: Being Martyrs for Jesus
Scripture: Revelation 2:8–11
What does faithful Christianity look like in the face of suffering? In this message from Revelation 2:8–11, we explore Jesus’ words to the persecuted church in Smyrna—a church poor in the world’s eyes but rich in faith. You’ll hear how Christ reveals Himself as the eternal, resurrected Lord who knows our trials, limits our suffering, and promises eternal life to those who remain faithful. Through history, Scripture, and powerful testimony, this sermon challenges believers to stand firm, trust Christ fully, and live with eternal perspective no matter the cost.
