The Synagogue of Satan

In this bold and urgent message from Revelation 2:8–11, Pastor Byron Chesney preaches on The Synagogue of Satan—the Lord’s message to the faithful, suffering church at Smyrna. Though poor by the world’s standards, this church was rich in faith and under intense persecution from both the Roman Empire and false religious pretenders. Pastor Byron draws strong parallels to today’s cultural and spiritual climate—where many churches wear the name of Christ but deny His truth—and calls on believers to stay faithful, even unto death. With historical insight, scriptural clarity, and a warning to compromised churches, this sermon challenges Christians to take a stand in a world that’s drifting fast into spiritual darkness.
