Revelation 2:8-11

Pastor Troy is back this week in his series on the churches of Revelation. He reminds us, however, that Jesus' message to the church in the first century was not for them only, but for the Church of God throughout these end times. The letter to Smyrna was the shortest of the seven, but it is packed with powerful, convicting, and encouraging truth! Jesus revealed to them that some of their members were going to be cast into to prison and even be put to death, but the amazing thing is that despite this he told them not to be afraid. How about us in the contemporary church today? Can we face whatever the devil throws our way in faith, knowing that Christ will reward us when we overcome?

Pastor Troy has been in a series series on Worship for a while, but says we will be taking an extended break as the Lord sees fit during the start of this new season. For January and beyond, we will be focusing on the Vision of the church, praying that God will help us to reach the Shumont community and to grow as a church. Pastor Cory is also making his way through the book of Ephesians in his messages, but is taking a break from that as well during this season. We at Bald Mountain Baptist Church are so glad you have joined us here, and our prayer is that you are blessed by this message!

The calling for every Christian is to take the gospel to the ends of the earth. Well, where does the earth begin and where does it end? For us at Bald Mountain Baptist Church, the world begins in the Shumont Community on top of a little peak in Buncombe County, NC. Our prayer is that through this platform we might do our part in reaching the ends of the earth with the gospel!

Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof. Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.

Isaiah 42:10-11
