In this powerful message from Revelation 2:8–11, Pastor Justin Larkin takes us deep into the story of the church in Smyrna—a persecuted, poverty-stricken group of believers that Jesus calls “rich.” Unlike others who used religion for gain, the Smyrna church gave everything for their faith.

Through humor, cultural insight, and biblical truth, this sermon challenges us to ask: Are we using Christianity for comfort or are we ready to lose everything to follow Christ?

Be inspired to bleed for the Church, step up, and serve—not for reward, but for relationship with Jesus, who is everything.

Let these truths guide your heart as you follow Jesus daily:

✅ The Church is not for sale—it's the bride of Christ.
✅ Faithfulness isn’t proven in prosperity but in sacrifice.
✅ We’re called not to gain from Christianity but to give everything for Christ.
✅ When we have Jesus, we have everything.
✅ The future of the Church depends on our willingness to serve today.
