Revelation 2:8–11 (Listen)

8 “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: ‘The words of the first and the last, who died and came to life.

9 “‘I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich) and the slander of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life. 11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. The one who conquers will not be hurt by the second death.’

(ESV)

Growing together… in God's Word
Growing Together is a monthly meeting for all those who want to to understand the Bible better, and put into practice what they learn. Each month we cover two topics with plenty of time for discussion and questions. To make the most of our time together, each member of the group reads a short book each month, to help prepare for the discussion.

Hubert’s story

“If Jesus has done all that for me, I will follow him”

One of the most vivid memories from my childhood is that of a tinworker from Llanelli preaching in church. He explained how he had first met with Jesus his Saviour. When he explained what the Bible said, it seemed as though he was speaking only to me. He spoke slowly, convinced every word was vitally important. What struck home was that if the Lord Jesus has done all that for me I must follow him.
