If You Can’t Stand the Heat
Date: Sunday, July 19, 2026
Scripture: Revelation 2:8–11
Speaker: Pastor Kyle Horner
Message Summary:
Following Jesus doesn’t exempt us from suffering—it transforms how we walk through it.
As part of our Summer of Revelation series, “If You Can’t Stand the Heat” explores Revelation 2:8–11, where Jesus encourages the persecuted church in Smyrna to remain faithful in the midst of tribulation. This message reminds us that faith isn’t built on comfort or cultural acceptance but on the unshakable authority of Christ. When we keep our eyes on the King instead of our circumstances, even the fires of suffering become places where God refines our faith and reveals His presence.
Did you make a decision to follow Christ today?
