“Smyrna: Suffer Well” Revelation 2:8-11 Sunday, October 20, 2019 “Smyrna: Suffer Well” Revelation 2:8-11 Idea: Remaining faithful trumps everything even life itself. Intro: Show “Sang Chul: North Korea” video from Voice of the Martyrs. This video was produced by Voice of the Martyrs to highlight Christian suffering as we approach the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church on November 3rd. Like Pastor Han and Sang Chul, following Christ and sharing the gospel is a dangerous way to live for millions of believers in many places around the world. Christians are excommunicated from families and communities. They are arrested and imprisoned. They are beaten and even executed at times. The freedoms we enjoy in America make it difficult for us as believers to understand and relate to the suffering that so many are experiencing. We do not face the kind of violent persecution they do. In many ways it is easy to be a Christ-follower in the U.S. And in many ways the easiness can lull us to sleep. The greatest dangers we face are not imprisonment and martyrdom but pleasure-seeking and complacency. As a result, when the slightest push back against our faith occurs we do not know what to do. Unfortunately, some give into the pressure and compromise. They walk away or hide in the shadows. Others become disillusioned. This was not true of the believers in Smyrna. Much like the Ephesians, they lived in a strong, wealthy, imperial city of Rome. Smyrna was a harbor city with a thriving export trade thirty-five miles north of Ephesus. The city still exists today as the Turkish city Izmir. It was renowned for its beauty and civic pride. It was a city full of architecture, famous temples, and boasted to be the birthplace of the great poet Homer. Emperor worship was pervasive in the culture of Smyrna. It was the first city to construct a temple in honor of Dea Roma. Then in 23 B.C. a temple for the worship of emperor Tiberius was erected. The city also contained a large Jewish population that staunchly opposed Christians. As we look at the church of Smyrna, I want you to see that Jesus’ message to the church was “Suffer well.” Read Revelation 2:8-11. Inquiry: More than likely the gospel was brought to Smyrna during Paul’s ministry in Ephesus. It was heard and received by many. It changed their lives, and as a result the church began to cause an uproar within the city. The Gentiles accused the Christ-followers of being atheists because they had forsaken the gods of Rome and refused to participate in emperor worship. The Jews hated this apostate movement that many in Rome regarded as another sect of Judaism. Therefore, the Jews joined the Gentiles in the persecution of the believers. Their hopes of extinguishing the church and its influence in Smyrna, however, only spread and solidified their faith. Throughout history, the seemingly paradoxical truth has been that the more the church has been persecuted, the greater has been its purity and strength. Last Sunday I shared this great statement by G. Campbell Morgan: “It is a very remarkable thing that the church of Christ persecuted has been the church of Christ pure. The church of Christ patronized has always been the church of Christ impure.” If we compare the letter to Ephesus with the one to Smyrna, we discover that there is a strong contrast here between a church who had become satisfied with their religious activity and one who remained committed in their pursuit of spiritual vitality in the face of severe suffering. Therefore, I believe it is significant that this is one of only two churches (the other being Philadelphia) with no weaknesses. The Smyrna and Philadelphia churches were the least significant of the seven churches in terms of numbers and influence. Both faced strong persecution, but their suffering strengthened their faith and resulted in greater sanctification. We see in them that it is more important to be faithful than to be powerful. The Lord’s message to the Smyrneans was to suffer well. How can we do that in our own lives and church? 1. Keep your eye on the prize. (vs. 9) The Lord knew the situation that the believers in Smyrna faced. He again used oi\da (“I know”) instead of ginnwvskw. This speaks of a complete and full knowledge rather than a progressive acquisition of knowledge. He uses this same verb with each of the seven churches as an indication that He fully knows and understands the condition of the church as well as the challenges each one faces. The Smyrneans were experiencing tribulation (qli:yiV). The term literally refers to pressure. The tribulation the church was facing was the direct cause of their poverty (ptwceiva). The term used speaks of abject poverty. It is the idea of possessing absolutely nothing. In an antagonistic environment it would be difficult for Christians to make a living, and thus many were economically destitute. Materially they were impoverished, but according to Jesus, spiritually they were rich (plouvsioV). They were laying up riches in heaven (Matt 6:20). Another aspect of their tribulation involved slander from the Jews. It is interested that Jesus points out that these people refer to themselves as Jews (the people of God) but the reality is that they are of the synagogue of Satan. Being a part of the family of God is not physical or racial issue; it is a spiritual issue (Rom 2:17-29). And to be part of God’s family one has to by faith acknowledge Jesus Christ as God the Son. The Jews in Smyrna refused to do so; therefore, in reality they were none other than the synagogue of Satan working against God and His people. The tribulation the Smyrnean believers faced was intense, harsh, and devastating. Nonetheless, the Lord’s message to them was, “Keep your eye on the prize and remember why you suffer and what it is doing.” Appl: Today, we too must keep our eyes on the prize (Phil 3:14). God knows your situation, so remember why you suffer and what it is doing to grow you in faith. We suffer well by keeping our eyes on the prize. 2. Do not fear what comes against you. (vs. 10a) Jesus instructs the church to not be afraid of what they are about to suffer. This was not a new revelation for the early church. Many times, Jesus and His apostles had instructed the church to not fear (Matt 10:28; 2 Tim 3:12). Still, the church needed to be admonished lest the threat of persecution and martyrdom cause them to shrink back in fear. Jesus specifically informed them that the devil would soon orchestrate events in such a way that some of them would be imprisoned for a short time. How would you respond if Red Lane received a specific message like this from the Lord? Would you show up the next Sunday? Would you actively share with others that you are a member of the church? Would you continue to share the gospel with others? Would you go into hiding? Would you cease any and all involvement with the church? Your response to such a threat says a lot about who and what you fear. How can Jesus tell the Smyrneans not to fear? Jesus can say this because He is in control. He knows the danger that is coming against them. He has allowed it (Job 1:12; 2:6). The only way the devil can touch the life of a believer is if God has given permission or the believer has opened the door by giving into temptation. Appl: Today, do not fear what comes against you. Remember the Lord knows the danger coming against you, and He has it on a leash. We suffer well when we do not fear what comes against us. 3. Be willing to lay your life down. (vs. 10b-11) The Lord has tribulation on a leash, but this does not mean that the suffering is not severe or even deadly. There are times when suffering for the cause of Christ strips you of everything in life, even your life. Jesus’ instruction is “be faithful unto death.” The one who does so will receive the crown of life…the crown that is life itself. This is not a royal crown (diavdhma) but the wreath or garland (stevfanoV) that was awarded to the victor at games. Its value lay not in itself but in what it symbolized. The one who perseveres and conquers in the tribulation will not be and cannot be hurt by the second death. What a counter-culture concept this is in America. We are inundated with the idea that pleasure and self-happiness is what is important and should be pursued. As we study the Scriptures, however, it becomes apparent that Jesus calls His followers not to the endless, exhausting pursuit of pleasure, nor to the evasion of pain, but to a sacrificial love. The contrast could not be clearer for us. As Vince Vitale has said, “In a culture that says be yourself, look after yourself, express yourself, trust yourself, and treat yourself, Jesus said, ‘deny yourself and take up your cross daily and follow me’ (Luke 9:23), knowing that ‘if they persecuted me, they will persecute you also’ (John 15:20).” Appl: Today, as a follower of Jesus Christ be willing to lay your life down for Christ. Lay it down in service to others.

    Journal ol Personality and Social Psychology 1975, Vol. 32, No. 1, 92-101 Choosing to Suffer as a Consequence of Expecting to Suffer: Why Do People Do It? Ronald Comer and James D. Laird Clark University In three previous studies, most subjects who anticipated having to perform an unpleasant task (e.g., eat a worm) and who were then offered a choice of that or a neutral task chose the unpleasant task. It was hypothesized that this "choosing to suffer" effect was produced by the subjects' attempt to make sense of their anticipated suffering, through one of three kinds of change in their conception of themselves and the situation: (a) they deserved the suffer- ing, (b) they were brave, or (c) the worm was not too bad. Subjects antici- pating a neutral task did not change on these measures, while subjects eating a worm changed significantly, indicating that anticipated suffering did cause the predicted reconceptualizations. Changes in these three kinds of conception predicted subject's choice or not of eating the worm, indicating that these changes produced the subsequent choice. Finally, subjects who saw them- selves as either more brave or more deserving also chose to administer painful electric shocks to themselves, while subjects who had changed their concep- tions of the worm did not, indicating that these conceptual changes can affect behavior in situations different from that which initially caused the conceptual changes. In a few more or less unrelated studies, a man & Radtke, 1970). Clearly then, some- particularly paradoxical bit of behavior has thing happens during the interval between a been observed, that subjects often "choose" subject's assignment to a negative event and to suffer as a consequence of having expected his subsequent choice which influences most to suffer.

    LLT 180 Lecture 22 1 Today we're gonna pick up with Gottfried von Strassburg. As most of you already know, and it's been alleged and I readily admit, that I'm an occasional attention slut. Obviously, otherwise, I wouldn't permit it to be recorded for TV. And, you know, if you pick up your Standard today, it always surprises me -- actually, if you live in Springfield, you might have met me before without realizing it. I like to cook and a colleague in the department -- his wife's an editor for the Springfield paper and she also writes a weekly column for the "Home" section. And so he and I were talking about pans one day and I was, you know, saying, "Well," you know, "so many people fail to cook because they don't have the perfect pan." And she was wanting to write an article about pans. She'd been trying to convince him to buy better pans. And so she said, "Hey, would you pose for a picture with pans? I'm writing this article." And so I said, "Oh, what the heck." And so she came over and took this photo. And a couple of weeks later, I opened Sunday morning's paper -- 'cause I knew it was gonna be in that week -- and went over to the "Home" section. And there was this color photo, about this big, and I went, "Oh, crap," you know. So whatever. Gottfried. Again, as they tell you here, we don't know much about these people, and this is really about love.

  • Religious-Verses-And-Poems
    A CLUSTER OF PRECIOUS MEMORIES A bud the Gardener gave us, A cluster of precious memories A pure and lovely child. Sprayed with a million tears He gave it to our keeping Wishing God had spared you If only for a few more years. To cherish undefiled; You left a special memory And just as it was opening And a sorrow too great to hold, To the glory of the day, To us who loved and lost you Down came the Heavenly Father Your memory will never grow old. Thanks for the years we had, And took our bud away. Thanks for the memories we shared. We only prayed that when you left us That you knew how much we cared. 1 2 AFTERGLOW A Heart of Gold I’d like the memory of me A heart of gold stopped beating to be a happy one. I’d like to leave an afterglow Working hands at rest of smiles when life is done. God broke our hearts to prove to us I’d like to leave an echo He only takes the best whispering softly down the ways, Leaves and flowers may wither Of happy times and laughing times The golden sun may set and bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve But the hearts that loved you dearly to dry before too long, Are the ones that won’t forget. And cherish those very special memories to which I belong. 4 3 ALL IS WELL A LIFE – WELL LIVED Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into the next room.

  • Leading the Walking Dead: Portrayals of Power and Authority
    LEADING THE WALKING DEAD: PORTRAYALS OF POWER AND AUTHORITY IN THE POST-APOCALYPTIC TELEVISION SHOW by Laura Hudgens A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School at Middle Tennessee State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Mass Communication August 2016 Thesis Committee: Dr. Katherine Foss, Chair Dr. Jane Marcellus Dr. Jason Reineke ii ABSTRACT This multi-method analysis examines how power and authority are portrayed through the characters in The Walking Dead. Five seasons of the show were analyzed to determine the characteristics of those in power. Dialogue is important in understanding how the leaders came to power and how they interact with the people in the group who have no authority. The physical characteristics of the leaders were also examined to better understand who was likely to be in a position of power. In the episodes in the sample, leaders fit into a specific demographic. Most who are portrayed as having authority over the others are Caucasian, middle-aged men, though other characters often show equivalent leadership potential. Women are depicted as incompetent leaders and vulnerable, and traditional gender roles are largely maintained. Findings show that male conformity was most prevalent overall, though instances did decrease over the course of five seasons. Instances of female nonconformity increased over time, while female conformity and male nonconformity remained relatively level throughout. ii iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES ..............................................................................................................v

Origin and Organizational Structure The information presented in this section is coming from a correspondence sent the Research Directorate on the 18 June 2012 by an associate researcher at the Chihuahua College (Colegio de Chihuahua), also member of the UNESCO Chair on drugs in Mexico. Based on his database consisting of around 3,500 archives on gangs in the Americas, the associate researcher indicated that the gang Vatos Locos was created during the 1940s in Los Angeles by Mexicans and Mexican-Americans. During the 1970s and 1980s the gang was partly consolidated in prison, extending its alliances and mode of recruitment. Recent recruits include ex-military personnel returning from Afghanistan and Iraq. Some gangs outside the US probably took the Vatos Locos name from the 1993 film Blood In, Blood Out. Members of Vatos Locos refer to themselves as a "nation" that shares common aspects but still allows each individual gang a certain degree of autonomy.

Though the executive branch has refrained from publicly identifying countries or entities as foreign adversaries under the Executive Order, observers agree that the Executive Order’s main targets are China and telecommunications companies, namely Huawei, that threaten American national security and competitiveness in the race to provide the lion’s share of critical infrastructure to support the world’s growing 5G network.

  • 1 James Joyce (1882-1941) Eveline (1914) She Sat at the Window
    1 James Joyce (1882-1941) Eveline (1914) She sat at the window watching the evening invade the avenue. Her head was leaned against the window curtains and in her nostrils was the odour of dusty cretonne. She was tired. Few people passed. The man out of the last house passed on his way home; she heard his footsteps clacking along the concrete pavement and afterwards crunching on the cinder path before the new red houses. One time there used to be a field there in which they used to play every evening with other people's children. Then a man from Belfast bought the field and built houses in it—not like their little brown houses but bright brick houses with shining roofs. The children of the avenue used to play together in that field—the Devines, the Waters, the Dunns, little Keogh the cripple, she and her brothers and sisters. Ernest, however, never played: he was too grown up. Her father used often to hunt them in out of the field with his blackthorn stick; but usually little Keogh used to keep nix and call out when he saw her father coming. Still they seemed to have been rather happy then. Her father was not so bad then; and besides, her mother was alive. That was a long time ago; she and her brothers and sisters were all grown up her mother was dead. Tizzie Dunn was dead, too, and the Waters had gone back to England. Everything changes. Now she was going to go away like the others, to leave her home.
