To The Church in Albion (Week 3)

• Poverty, though they are rich.
• What we see as valuable, what we envy or desire from others is almost exclusively materialistic, worldly, and yet what the church of Smyrna had, was a rich faith.

Revelation 2:9

• Slander
• First, the Jews claimed the christians were holding orgies, within their gatherings calling them love feasts.
• Second, the Jews claimed that Christians were cannibalistic.
• Third, the Jews claimed that the Christians were anti-family, calling each other brother and sister.
• Prediction of coming imprisonment and even death.
