Solid Rock Church Sermons

We’re looking at the seven churches of Revelation. There were real churches just like Solid Rock. They existed at the end of the first century in what is today the nation of Turkey. They help us understand what it means to be the church. The first letter to Ephesus taught us that the church is to love God first, passionately and fervently... and then love its fellow members. A church may have many admirable qualities, but if it lacks a first love for God and then its believers, it is in danger of God removing His hand of blessing. Smyrna has a different message. Definitively stated, the church will suffer for Christ. There is no criticism of this church. Of the seven churches, only two escape any criticism: Smyrna and Philadelphia. At some time in your Christian journey, you will be tempted to lose heart and quit. Jesus encourages us to trust Him.
